Welsh player strike threatens England match and Cheslin Kolbe

About this episode

Ben, Charlie and Charles look ahead to the return of the Six Nations this weekend but, with Wales' game against England in jeopardy due to the threat of a player strike, we dissect the problems within the Welsh game and speak with Cardiff Blues captain Josh Turnbull.

Josh tells us why the players are looking to strike and what the likelihood of Saturday's game going ahead is.

As for England, they look in good shape heading into the weekend with Courtney Lawes and Tom Curry both picked by Steve Borthwick. There is also a recall for George Ford, who made a return to Premiership action at the weekend. We discuss where the Sale Sharks fly-half could fit in the new England era.

We also speak to Springboks star Cheslin Kolbe to get his thoughts on the Six Nations so far and his hopes for the year ahead as he prepares to defend the World Cup.

Plus, we look ahead to the weekend's other two games where Italy host Ireland before what could be the match of the weekend on Sunday with Gregor Townsend's Scotland side taking plenty of momentum to Paris.
