Ugo Monye introduces highlights from the opening weekend of the Six Nations, featuring the Calcutta Cup clash between old rivals England and Scotland. Studio guests are former Scotland captain John Barclay and Sam Warburton.

England have lost their last two games against the Scots and will be desperate to avoid an unwanted hat-trick of defeats in their first match under coach Steve Borthwick.

Wales will also be hoping for a winning start following the reappointment of Warren Gatland, who won three Grand Slams between 2007 and 2019. However, his team face a tough task against an Ireland side that beat New Zealand, South Africa and Australia last year, surging to the top of the international rankings.

Meanwhile, last year’s Grand Slam winners France take on Italy in Rome. Show less
