Round 4 of the Six Nations 2026 delivered absolute chaos — and on this week’s Maul or Nothing, we break down one of the most extraordinary weekends of Test rugby in years.


🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland 50 – France

Gregor Townsend’s side ran riot — putting 50 points on France in a statement win that has completely blown open the championship race.


We dive into:


•⁠ ⁠Ben White vs Antoine Dupont — the scrum-half duel

•⁠ ⁠Darcy Graham vs Louis Bielle-Biarrey in a brilliant wing battle

•⁠ ⁠Scotland’s attacking blueprint that dismantled France

•⁠ ⁠Dupont’s forward pass that summed up the French afternoon

•⁠ ⁠the Scottish cohesion but France unusually subdued 


Plus the controversy…


👀 Oscar Jégou’s alleged eye gouge

A disciplinary hearing looms. We ask:


•⁠ ⁠Is it worse than Eben Etzebeth’s recent incident?


🏉 England vs Italy – what on earth is the plan?


England had the ball.

England… kicked it away.


Italy magnificent 


We break down:


•⁠ ⁠England leading the tournament in kicks in play & kick metres

•⁠ ⁠Ben Earl saying England were “unbelievable for 60 minutes” — are fans being gaslit?

•⁠ ⁠Maro Itoje’s yellow card — careless or costly?

•⁠ ⁠⁠Menoncello the best centre in world rugby right now 


And the big question:


❓ Should Steve Borthwick still be England coach for the 2027 Rugby World Cup?



🇮🇪 Ireland vs Wales


Ireland got the job done in Dublin — but this may have been the most encouraging Welsh performance of the championship.


We discuss:


•⁠ ⁠Jack Crowley as Farrells World Cup 10

•⁠ ⁠Signs of life in Steve Tandy’s Wales rebuild

•⁠ ⁠The huge shift in Welsh physicality

•⁠ ⁠Rhys Carre magic 



🔥 Championship permutations heading into the final round


The title race is wide open.


•⁠ ⁠France win the title with a bonus-point victory

•⁠ ⁠Scotland could win their first championship since 1999

•⁠ ⁠Ireland still alive if results fall their way


We break down every scenario heading into Super Saturday.
