Justin Marshall on 6 Nations – dominant Ireland, nervy Scotland and the future of Wales
Join Marty Devlin on the DSPN, as he welcomes former All Blacks halfback Justin Marshall on the show, to review the opening weekend in rugby’s Six Nations, where France, Scotland and Ireland all earned wins. The two kick things off looking at Ireland’s 27-22 victory over England, and whether or not they are as good a team as they were two years ago. Also, what positives can England take out of the defeat? Marty and Justin also touch on the future of Wales after their heavy loss to France, Scotland’s nervy win over Italy, and the use of cross-kicking and what that could suggest about the rugby season ahead for New Zealand-based teams. 00:00 Introduction 00:14 Deep Analysis on Ireland vs England 00:52 England’s Defensive Struggles 03:39 Ireland’s Tactical Brilliance and Key Players 07:58 What’s the Future of Welsh Rugby? 10:19 Scotland’s Nervy win over Italy 12:30 Upcoming Super Rugby Season 13:22 Increased use of the Cross-Kick Credit to : DSPN
