Nations Pod - Week Two!

02/08/24 • 53 min

Chris, Gareth and Tom reconvene, slightly later than planned this week, which is nothing to do with Tom’s broken microphone. Despite this, Tom is in good form after Scotland’s win in Cardiff, but how does that second half prepare the Scots for France? And just how lingering is the French World Cup hangover? We discuss Wales’ sweeping changes to play England, while Gareth has some alarming stats about the Welsh at Twickenham. Ioan Lloyd is given a start at number 10, but how will Wales go about trying to pull off a Twickenham heist?
