Twickenham. 2026.

And England were dismantled.

🇮🇪 Ireland clinical.

🏴 England chaotic.

🗣 Ellis Genge admitting they may have believed their own hype.

One of the most sobering afternoons at HQ in recent Six Nations history.

This week on Maul or Nothing we break down:

•⁠ ⁠Luke Cowan-Dickie & Freddie Steward hooked

•⁠ ⁠George Ford’s missed kicks and the momentum swing

•⁠ ⁠Ireland majestic across the park

•⁠ ⁠Jamison Gibson-Park dictating everything

•⁠ ⁠What this means for Steve Borthwick with the 2027 Rugby World Cup just 18 months away

🏟 In Cardiff:

Wales finally show signs of life under Steve Tandy — but Scotland still find a way. Finn Russell magic. Again.

🇫🇷 And France?

Is the Grand Slam already inevitable? Their depth is frightening.

🇮🇹 Italy improving again — and will genuinely fancy England in Rome.

This is proper Six Nations analysis. No fence-sitting. No safe takes.
