Six Nations Round 3: England v Ireland Showdown + Scotland eye up Wales & could France slip up against Italy
Episode 101
Thursday, 19 February, 2026
Six Nations round three is stacked, and Rugby Unity goes straight to the pressure points. David Pembroke, Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie preview England v Ireland at Twickenham, including Jack Crowley starting at 10, Gibson-Park’s influence, and the big selection calls around Curry and Pollock, plus the ruck-speed battle and how the referee could shape it. There’s a proper salute to Maro Itoje on his 100th cap, and a blunt look at Wales v Scotland in Cardiff, including Wales’ current depth challenge and the impact of Matthew Carley’s card history. France v Italy in Lille gets the full treatment too, with real belief in Italy’s hardness, breakdown contest, kicking accuracy, and how an “off” France could be vulnerable. Then the chat widens: what’s actually happening across the Six Nations after two rounds, why intent and luck swing results, and why Super Rugby attacks can look stuck behind heavy line speed.● England v Ireland: Crowley starts, Gibson-Park returns● Curry’s match time and Pollock’s starting question● Itoje’s 100th test and England togetherness pressure● Wales v Scotland: Wales depth issues, Carley cards● France v Italy: Italy breakdown, kicking, real upset chance● Six Nations themes: intent, luck, discipline, short tournamentPLUS: Eddie and Ewen break down coaching messages, culture, and why structured attack is being tested by breakdown pressure and contestable kicks.Ask Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie anything!
