In a bonus pod to tie up the loose end that was France v Scotland, the lads reflect upon the magnificent last-ditch win for Gregor Townsend's men. It was a game that put a big smile on Tommy's face - even if he is decidedly unamused by Finn Russell's red card. They pick their Team Of The Championship, and cast an eye ahead to the Lions' tour of South Africa.

It's heartbreak for Shanks, as France seize Wales's Grand Slam from their clutches deep into injury time in Paris. No matter, Tom has an early morning hamburger to cheer him up as he and Flats review an extraordinary evening in the French capital. David, meanwhile, has some strong words for Eddie Jones. And former Scottish skipper Greig Laidlaw joins the boys from Japan, to discuss whisky (without an 'e'), earthquakes, and his favourite ride at Disneyland. They also talk a bit of rugby too, including his Scottish picks for Lions selection.

It's been another tremendous round of action in the Guinness Six Nations, with England beating France in a classic at Twickenham, Ireland pipping the Scots, and Wales keeping their Grand Slam ambitions alive in Rome. To celebrate, Flats cracks open the whisky to share in the company of Nick Abendanon and Ryan Wilson, much to Shanks's disapproval.

It may be fallow week in the Guinness Six Nations, but resident scoundrels Flats & Shanks are here nonetheless, bridging the gap between matchdays. The lads are joined by man-of-the-moment Callum Sheedy, mostly to talk about Semi Radradra, but also a tiny bit about Wales. Big Ben Kay makes an appearance too, as a crestfallen England face the daunting prospect of hosting a rampant France at Twickenham on Saturday.

Dan Lydiate joins David and Tom off the back of his terrible season-ending knee injury to reflect upon Wales's dramatic victory over Scotland - and life on the farm with his new bull, McCaw. The lads are also joined by top golfer and lifelong Bath fan, Laurie Canter, who takes Flats on in a devious quiz about his beloved club. They spend a disproportionate amount of time discussing their favourite rugby league players too, and reveal their latest Team Of The Round.

Kenny Logan joins the lads to reflect upon Scotland's first win at Twickenham since 1983 - in what was a truly awesome performance by Gregor Townsend's men. Tom is very happy about Wales victory over Ireland, despite the fact the oppo only had 14 men for most of the match. And it's thumbs up for France's Grand Slam credentials and a thumbs down for Wayne Barnes's hair. This episode also sees the return of the boys' legendary Team Of The Round.

Dave and Tom return to ITV for the entirety of the Guinness Six Nations, bringing their inimitable combination of wit, storytelling and expert analysis with them.

Then, of course, there is their much-debated selections for Team of the Round.

Cheered by news that his account has finally been verified by Twitter, Tom is in good spirits as he and David assess the state of play in the Six Nations during the second rest week of the tournament. Wales's injury concerns are a major talking point, as is the coronavirus. They also get stuck in to your feedback from their last Team Of The Round.

The 2020 Guinness Six Nations is shaping up nicely - with England seeing off Ireland and France eyeing up a Grand Slam following a thrilling victory in Wales. There was also redemption in Rome for Stuart Hogg. Flats & Shanks review all the action, pick their Team Of The Round and tell a few more of your gags.

In an episode filmed in a box at The Principality Stadium in Cardiff, the Wales fly-half joins David and Tom to discuss his ongoing rehabilitation from the horrific knee injury that cruelly ruled him out of the World Cup in Japan. They also get his thoughts on new national coach Wayne Pivac, Shaun Edwards, the Finn Russell affair and the likely winners and losers in the 2020 Guinness Six Nations. What a thoroughly top fella he is!

As Storm Ciara batters our shores, England and Ireland come out on top in two very contrasting matches.

They're back! David Flatman and Tom Shanklin will be podcasting throughout the Guinness Six Nations, with their characteristic blend of razor-sharp analysis and downright daftness. Ahead of Monday's preview show, here's a reminder of what they sound like!

After an exceedingly long flight, Flats joins Shanks straight off the plane from Japan to reflect upon South Africa's stunning victory over England in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final. And in many ways, David is the right man to dissect where the match was won and lost, given the importance of the scrum in determining the outcome ...

The big game is nearly upon us, and David and Tom are a little bit excited. As well as offering their perspective on the final, they also have extended interviews with World Cup winners Ben Kay and Bryan Habana. They also bid a fond farewell to Warren Gatland, which leads them onto a surreal conversation about who from the world of rugby would make the best father-in-law.
