Scrums and Scrumpy Scrums and Scrumpy

Do not adjust your monitors – we actually decided to come back. We stayed away as long as we could, but the pod drew us back in on the eve of the Six Nations – the most exciting time in the rugby calendar. We missed quite a lot, as it turns out. Christy applauds proper shithousery! Tom drinks vin rouge! Jack imagines Tyson Fury!

Part 1:
We preview the greatest rugby competition in the world (subject to conditions, apparently) as well as revisiting all the Premiership movements we missed during our hiatus. We also briefly touch on the lineups for the European quarter-finals as some tasty ties present themselves.

Part 2:
Huge Scoops are back in force, with discussions of Saracens, major transfers, Tier 2 progressions and (of course) top level shithousery regarding the Israel Folau situation.

Part 3:
Chloe’s Questions are back, presenting us with some more Brexit and Love Island-themed thinkers. We also lay out our predictions for the Six Nations, with winners, losers, best players and bold predictions all on the line.

The lads are finally back as the first European window comes to a close - and we finally get to talk about Saracens! But our comments on Semi Radradra have aged terribly. Tom rules himself out of the New Zealand job! Christy puts Andrew Mehrtens in his place! Jack despairs about Harry Potter puns!

Part 1:
We run the rule over all of the weekend’s Champions Cup action, with Northampton scoring the big win of the weekend, Chiefs marching on and a smattering of the good, the bad and the ugly across Europe. We also find room to praise Bristol for their start to the season and run through the Challenge Cup scores.

Part 2:
Huge Scoops is a long-awaited moment this week as we finally get to grips with Saracens and the salary cap, as well as the possibility of a Fijian flyer heading to Sale and world coaching changes, especially Scott Wisemantel’s proposed move to Australia.

Part 3:
Chloe’s Questions are back again as we pay tribute to the Hask in the Celebrity jungle, and we take on a Saracens-inspired ‘Take That and Rewind It Back’ to look at how the world may have shaped up if 2016 had gone a little differently.
