Rugby Union Weekly - Musings from the Nations Championship

Download Musings from the Nations Championship

What did we learn from the opening weekend of the Nations Championship? Ashy, Ugo and Danny look back on a dramatic first round of fixtures and ahead to what next weekend has in store. They ask why England appear to have made little progress since the Six Nations, whether Wales can build on their win over Fiji against Argentina, and how impressive Scotland were without their talisman, Finn Russell. Plus, there was also time to compare weekends, with Ashy enduring the great outdoors on a camping trip he absolutely hated, while Danny somehow found himself living the high life in the Royal Box at Wimbledon.
