Six Nations podcast: Geordan Murphy on referees

It was Italy's weekend and the panel agree that they now have a group of strong international players. Presenter Michael Aylwin says they're no longer a team of scrappers, but they still may not beat Scotland.

Geordan Murphy argues that after the try wrongly allowed against Ireland, the referee and his assistant should be disciplined and demoted. But he is still not sure if Ireland are strong enough to beat a revived England.

Kenny Logan believes Scotland could have beaten England, but good things have come out of the championship, thanks to the most passionate Englishman he's ever seen, coach Andy Robinson.

Kevin Mitchell asks if anyone can understand the rugby thinking behind Marc Lievremont's running of the French team, saying that he does not have a rotation system, but a chaos system. Claire Tolley says that it's sad that so many amazing players play so badly for France.
