On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Cian Tracey and Benjamin Kayser to discuss all the Six Nations action.

Will and Luke kick things off by looking back at Scotland's dramatic win over England, before Cian joins to discuss Ireland's bonus-point win over Wales.

The lads all agree that Ireland's ball-playing forwards give them a big edge over the opposition, but the step up in Paris this weekend will be a huge test.

Mack Hansen's dream debut, Ireland's lack of a bench impact and the selection battle for France are all up for discussion too.

Former France hooker Benjamin Kayser then joins the lads to give an insight into the recent French resurgence after some lean years. 

Benjamin says the improved relationship between the clubs and the national team as well as the all-star coaching staff headed up by Fabien Galthié have played a big part in France's return to the top table.
