I was joined by former Lions & South Africa number 10 Andre Pretorius to review the 2025 Six Nations. He gave his expert view on what went wrong for Ireland as they slipped from back to back champions and seeking a second grand slam in three years to third in the standings and looking like their golden years had come to an end. He also gives his honest opinion on the heated debate around the fly-half position.
We then turned our attention to Six Nations champions France. Andre explained how their magical attack has a lot more structure to it that first meets the eye and gives his thoughts on if the likes of Louis Bielle-Biarrey and Thomas Ramos are the most exciting players in the world right now. Andre uses his insights from being a defence coach in Japan to break down the Shaun Edwards defence and tells tales of his time playing for Toulon in the TOP14.
We finish the show with the former springbok giving us an insight into life in Japan and what learnings he has taken from coaching in a totally different culture.
