    Saints & Winners: George Hendy on Northampton’s 2026 PREM Final Glory

    George Hendy joins Maul or Nothing live from Ibiza after Northampton Saints’ 2026 PREM Rugby final win over Exeter Chiefs. The matchwinner talks Saints celebrations, scoring the decisive tries, why this title feels different from two years ago, and the slightly chaotic aftermath of trying to serenade the Saints faithful on stage. The boys also get stuck into the Henry Pollock Player of the Match debate, whether the stats really backed up the award, and why Northampton looked such worthy champions. Elsewhere, Ryan recovers from the Dublin fiesta as the show breaks down Leinster’s 36-7 URC final win over the Bulls at Croke Park, Sam Prendergast’s performance, James Lowe’s fishy farewell, Joe McCarthy winding up Ryan, and whether another Bulls final collapse says anything about England vs South Africa. Plus: Leo Cullen’s confirmed Leinster exit at the end of the 2026-27 season, Maro Itoje being rested, Jamie George captaining England, Noah Caluori’s call-up, Benhard Janse van Rensburg, and whether PREM Rugby moving play-offs to neutral venues from 2029-30 is genius or madness.

    THIS IS OUR HOUSE! 🇪🇺Europe vs South Africa 🇿🇦 URC Carnage & Max Launches Underhill

    Bristol’s season is over, but not before Max Lahiff signed off Ashton Gate in style. The Bears may have missed the Premiership semi-finals, but they’ve still got the West Country bragging rights — and after that result which shall not be mentioned — they bounced back in exactly the right way. Max joins us fresh from Friday night after scoring the winning try on his 200th Premiership appearance. Remarkably, it was his 10th Premiership try — matching Ryan Wilson’s career tally of 10 in 222 appearances. We break down the game, the celebrations, becoming an accidental social media sensation, launching Sam Underhill into low earth orbit, and whether we’ve lost a listener in the process. We also look back on an unforgettable weekend in Bilbao — the rugby, the food, the friends and the chaos — before reacting to the internet’s latest attempts to describe Max: •⁠ ⁠The Honey Badger born in the Cotswolds •⁠ ⁠Like Hugh Grant and The Rock had a baby •⁠ ⁠A shoo-in for a Bond villain •⁠ ⁠The Brian Blessed of rugby •⁠ ⁠And multiple comparisons to Lord Flashheart… Then it’s URC quarter-final time. Ryan relives Glasgow’s hard-fought victory over Connacht in a bruising contest, with Kyle Steyn once again delivering when it mattered most. We also hear from Dan Lancaster after helping Glasgow beat a side coached by his father, Stuart Lancaster. What did he know about the old man? Did he have access to the calls? And what’s it really like trying to knock your dad out of the URC? We break down all the quarter-final action: •⁠ ⁠Bulls v Munster •⁠ ⁠Stormers v Cardiff •⁠ ⁠Leinster v Lions Plus our semi-final predictions. Can either South African side stop what feels like an inevitable Glasgow v Leinster final? We then turn our attention to the Premiership run-in: •⁠ ⁠Saints secure a home semi-final •⁠ ⁠Exeter damage Leicester’s top-two hopes while ending Bristol’s season •⁠ ⁠Saracens keep rolling — is this the start of Sarries 2.0 or simply a strong finish? •⁠ ⁠Newcastle’s end-of-season celebrations and whether they’re getting slightly carried away… And with one round left, we preview two huge fixtures: •⁠ ⁠Bath v Leicester — potentially a semi-final dress rehearsal •⁠ ⁠Exeter v Saracens — effectively a win-and-you’re-in shootout ⸻ 🚨 EXCLUSIVE OFFER — CHECK IF YOU’RE OWED MONEY 🚨 The FCA has confirmed that millions of car finance agreements may have been affected by hidden commission arrangements.

    Live from Bilbao: Bordeaux Go Back-to-Back! 🏆🏆

    We came for the pintxos, we stayed for the utter demolition. The Maul Or Nothing boys are coming to you live from Bilbao, sun-soaked (and slightly hungover) to digest a Champions Cup final that saw Bordeaux turn San Mamés into their own personal playground. Ryan catches up with the Bordeaux stars (and fans); including Le Petit Jason Statham; Maxime Lucu, The Wizard of Wellington (NZ) Senesi Rayasi and the European Player of the Year aka The Bordeaux Bullet; Louis Bielle-Biarrey. And what about Leinster? Four finals lost in five years. If it was painful before, was this 41-19 rout downright catastrophic for Leinster? Join us for Basque taste of how the day went down. ⸻ 🚨 EXCLUSIVE OFFER — CHECK IF YOU’RE OWED MONEY 🚨 The FCA has confirmed that millions of car finance agreements were mis-sold.
