Martin Bayfield acts as judge and jury as Tanni Grey-Thompson, Ben Foden, Martin Bashir and Mark Watson fight for punditry points as they look ahead to the Six Nations 2018i.

Martin Bayfield, former England Rugby player, sits in the judges chair for a rugby special ahead of the Six Nations 2018. Paralympic legend Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, Northampton Saints and former England rugby player Ben Foden, journalist Martin Bashir & comedian Mark Watson all join Martin as they aim to gain points for their punditry.

Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for drivel and answers lacking in conviction.

In the final round, the top two point scorers go head-to-head in 'Defend the Indefensible' where they must both defend a statement however ludicrous or distasteful for twenty seconds.
