Go Out Swinging: England’s French Test
Episode 23
Monday, 9 March, 2026

After one of the wildest weekends of the Six Nations, the boys are back to break it all down. Payno, Tins, Jonny May and Ben Kayser dive into Scotland’s breathtaking performance against France. Then it’s time for the uncomfortable truth: England’s loss to Italy. Is this a rock-bottom moment for England? And is the criticism of Head Coach Steve Borthwick fair? The panel also unpacks the on-field confusion between Maro Itoje and Fin Smith, with Tins revealing what really happens when leadership, pressure and game plan collide in the chaos of a Test match. 00:00 🛞 Proudly Sponsored by Continental Tyres 01:26 🌪️ Six Nations Weekend Whirlwind 03:10 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland’s All-In Tactics 15:56 😬 England’s Rome Meltdown 19:01 🎯 Take the Points Debate 31:31 🗞️ Borthwick and the Media Storm 46:17 🥃 Remy Martin Moment Of Excellence 53:21 🇫🇷 France England Preview 56:08 ☘️ Ireland Scotland Preview 58:57 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales Italy Preview 01:04:17 🗣️ Jonny’s Team Talk 01:09:37 🕊️ Matt Salter Tribute 🗒️GBR Survey https://purespectrum.decipherinc.com/survey/selfserve/53b/260334?list=1 🥃 Remy Martin Cocktail Recipes https://www.remymartin.com/en-uk/cocktails/ 📗The Good, The Bad & The Rugby: Unloaded are now available: https://lnk.to/GBRUnlocked/waterstones Welcome to The Good, The Bad & The Rugby with journalist and former broadcaster Alex Payne, England and Lions flanker James Haskell, and World Cup Winner Mike Tindall. #Rugby #Podcast Learn more about your ad choices.
