Six Nations & the Calcutta Cup with John Barclay

Evening Standard Rugby Podcast with Lawrence Dallaglio

Lawrence Dallaglio and Steve Cording are joined by former Scotland captain, John Barclay, as they look ahead to this weekend’s Six Nations games with a special focus on the Calcutta Cup fixture at Murrayfield on Saturday.

John offers his thoughts on Scotland’s campaign so far, how he believes they’ll handle England’s blitz defence and which players he’d select for their starting back row line up. He also shares his memories of Scotland’s famous win in 2018, including where he was when the pre-match ’scuffle in the tunnel’ broke out, and reveals which surprising guests ended up in the dressing room to celebrate the victory.

Lol and Steve also chat about the Premiership Cup semi-finals and what the future might hold for Ealing Trailfinders, plus they’re joined by the Evening Standard rugby correspondent, Nick Purewal, as they discuss the latest team news from the England camp and examine exactly what England need to do to win this weekend.

And the QBE Predictor is back in action - will everyone agree with the forecast?
