France’s 30-24 win over a spirited Ireland in Paris was at a “different level” to anything else we’ve seen in the Six Nations thus far, according to England legend Lawrence Dallaglio.
Speaking on his new rugby podcast with the Evening Standard in association with Fuller’s London Pride, the former Wasps man was full of praise for the French, who are in pole position at the head of the Championship.
This week, Dallaglio was joined by France legend Thomas Castaignède, Tom Counsell from the popular Bath Rugby Plug podcast and the Evening Standard’s Simon Collings to roundup all the action from the second weekend of the Six Nations and the wider rugby world.
The crew discussed the physicality of a young French team, Wales’ return to form back on home soil and, of course, England’s win over Italy, which earned mixed reviews from the panel.
