Jed reveals this is the last ever Six Nations review after nearly 500 episodes, thanking loyal listeners.

This final episode of the Attacking Scrum podcast is a Six Nations review and a farewell after nearly 10 years and 500 episodes. Host Jed is joined by original co-host Dan Killick to reflect on the show's history and the recent tournament. They discuss Wales's performance, which began with two heavy defeats but improved to a win against Italy, marking a positive end. The hosts recall favorite memories, including a live show in Nantes during the World Cup with stadium announcer Reesap William and a trip to Dublin for a Scarlets semi-final. They analyze Wales's Six Nations campaign, noting a significant improvement in physicality against Scotland and Ireland. They credit head coach Steve Tandy for fostering belief and highlight pundit Scott Baldwin's insightful analysis on team dynamics. A surprising claim is that the 2024 Six Nations was arguably the greatest tournament ever, with unpredictable results captivating new fans. One memorable moment was Dan Edwards's confident drop goal for Wales, which the hosts compare to iconic kicks of the past. Another was Rhys Carre's try against Italy, celebrated for its individual flair and symbolic importance for the player. The hosts give awards, selecting Dafydd Jenkins as their Welsh player of the tournament for his work rate and Alex Mann as most improved for his physical, disruptive play. From other nations, they praise French winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey for his record-breaking, skillful tries and Ireland's Stuart McCloskey for seizing his opportunity. They also commend Thomas Ramos's composed last-minute winning kick for France. The tone is nostalgic, conversational, and warmly reflective, blending personal anecdotes with rugby analysis. The style is informal, featuring inside jokes and a sense of shared history between the hosts. Welsh rugby fans who have followed the podcast for years will love this sentimental finale and its analysis of the team's resurgence. Listeners seeking only hard news or tactical breakdowns of the Six Nations might skip the lengthy reminiscing about the podcast's journey.
