    La Finale: Ireland v France

    The French press have dubbed it La Finale, and with everything on the line, Ireland v France promises to be an epic showdown. Alex and Tins are joined by French rugby legend Ben Kayser and Ireland’s own Shane Horgan to break it all down. With centurians Healy, O’Mahony, and Murray set to bow out, can Ireland give them the perfect send-off, or will France’s unpredictability spoil the party? Meanwhile, England need to rack up a big score against Italy, and Mystic Mike is calling for all-out attack. Plus, we dive into the conspiracy theory that Felix Jones was secretly sent to England by Rassie Erasmus as a South African spy. Buckle up, Dream Team—this one should wet the whistle for a massive weekend of Guinness Six Nations action. Season 5 is sponsored by Continental Tyres.

    Payno is left stunned after an incredible coincidence on the London Underground—one so unlikely that the odds were 600 million to 1 (yes, even longer than winning the lottery). Meanwhile, Hask has a theory about manifestation—was this just chance, or did the universe make it happen? Have you ever manifested something insane? Let us know at ⁠info@goodbadrugby.com⁠.
