Underdogs&favourites – who will come out on top in round four? - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

It’s Friday which can only mean one thing…Matt Dawson and Sonja McLaughlan are back with their unique take on an exciting round four of the Six Nations. And as always they are joined by Shane Horgan and Philippa Tuttiett and the special guest this week is former Scotland captain, Andy Nicol.

They look ahead to England’s clash against Ireland and debate who the real favourites are on Saturday and which coach is under more pressure? Eddie Jones also makes a cameo pod appearance with his thoughts on what he expects from Andy Farrell’s side and Shane gives his perspective on the news this week that Johnny Sexton will retire after the World Cup.Attention then turns to tonight’s game – Wales against France, can home advantage really benefit this Welsh side? Or are the French too strong psychologically to falter at the Principality Stadium? All that gets discussed and then it’s prediction time...and could there be an upset in Rome?
