Ugo Monye presents comprehensive analysis from the opening weekend of this year鈥檚 Six Nations, featuring Ireland against England.
Ireland won last year鈥檚 tournament, although their tilt at a Grand Slam fell short at Twickenham as England triumphed in a thrilling contest. Simon Easterby takes charge of Ireland with head coach Andy Farrell away on Lions duty and he faces England boss Steve Borthwick, who expects his team to improve in this year鈥檚 tournament.
You can also see what happened when Antoine Dupont returned to Six Nations duty as France hosted Wales in Paris, as well as Scotland鈥檚 opening match versus Italy in Edinburgh.
Expert analysis comes from former Wales and Scotland captains Sam Warburton and John Barclay.
