Six nations: from Rome to rapture - Townsend’s revival rolls toward Dublin

Scotland have blown the Six Nations wide open but how on earth did they dismantle France so completely, and what does it really mean for their shot at the title in Dublin? . Andy Burke and Tom English relive a surreal afternoon where Scotland roared back from 14–7 down to win, overwhelming France with pace, precision and a ruthless edge rarely seen before.

But should France have been reduced to 14 after that eye‑gouge incident and would Scotland now be heading to Dublin with their destiny in their own hands if it had been spotted? Are Ireland genuinely “there for the taking”, as Darcy Graham hinted… or has he just handed the Irish media the motivation they needed? And with key injuries in the engine room, who steps up for the biggest test this team has faced?

Plus: French fans flooding Edinburgh, Princess Anne’s running joke, and shout‑outs to the pod’s global faithful. A huge win, a huge week ahead and potentially a huge moment in Scottish rugby history.
