    Tom O’Flaherty, Saints v Bath 119-Point Madness & Barretts to Bristol?

    Buy Two Barretts, Get One Free?! 😂 Tom O’Flaherty & Rugby Gone Mad 🏉 Bath score 48 points and STILL lose by 23. Somewhere, a defence coach is staring silently at a laptop. Marc, Ryan Wilson and Max Lahiff unpack Northampton’s bonkers 71–48 win over Bath: 119 points, the second-highest scoring game in Premiership history and enough missed tackles to ruin several people’s Monday. Is this exactly what rugby needs, or has everyone collectively forgotten how to defend? 🤯 🐻 Max reflects on Bristol’s defeat to Saracens before the conversation takes a rather expensive turn. The boys get into the Barrett transfer rumours and ask the obvious question: if Bristol buy Scott and Jordie, does Beauden come free? Someone get Pat Lam a loyalty card. 🦈 Sale flyer TOM O’FLAHERTY joins us for a brilliant chat covering the Sharks’ new recruits, their hard-earned win over Quins and his untouched wondertry against Saracens. We also find out how he knows Max, revisit last season’s Sale–Bristol social and discuss the best friend he’s never met, Josh McKay. With Glasgow next up, there’s plenty for Ryan to get involved in… 🔥 Glasgow’s maul gets a proper examination, alongside the outrageous Lancaster–Dobie–McKay double-kick try. Genius improvisation or training-ground special? And is there a position Jamie Dobie CAN’T play? Elsewhere, Edinburgh make it three from three, Leicester recover from 14–0 down, Munster surrender a 26–5 advantage and Stormers–Sharks delivers a ridiculous collection of rugby talent. There’s also the rest of the Prem and URC fallout, Christian Wade’s hat-trick and another emphatic Ryan endorsement of Jake Dalziel. Remember the name. 👀 🇦🇺 From beating the Springboks to conceding 50 against New Zealand: the Wallabies come crashing back down as the All Blacks keep the Bledisloe for a 24th consecutive year. Did we buy into the Aussie revival too quickly? 🇦🇷 And Shaun Edwards joins Argentina through the 2027 World Cup. England… missed a trick? 🥃 A huge thank you to our sponsors, WOLFCRAIG.

    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.

    Six Nations 2026 Finale | France Win With the Last Kick vs England & Stuart McCloskey

    🎙️ France Win Six Nations With the Last Kick | England Baffling & Stuart McCloskey Exclusive The final round of the 2026 Six Nations delivered extraordinary drama as France beat England to win the championship with the last kick, and Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey joins Maul or Nothing to take us inside the Ireland camp. We break down France vs England, Ireland vs Scotland and Wales vs Italy from the decisive final weekend of the Six Nations 2026, as the championship came down to the final moments. 🇫🇷 France vs England — Championship Decider France held their nerve when the pressure was highest. ⭐ Louis Bielle-Biarrey continues his incredible try-scoring run 🎯 Thomas Ramos lands the kick that wins the entire Six Nations But England delivered a performance that perfectly summed up their tournament: Brilliant… and utterly baffling. Despite losing four matches in the championship — something England hadn’t done since 1976 — they pushed France all the way. Big talking points: •⁠ ⁠🟨 Was the yellow card and penalty try correct? •⁠ ⁠🏃 Ollie Chessum’s intercept — should he have gone closer to the posts? •⁠ ⁠🎬 Henry Pollock’s Hollywood offload moment •⁠ ⁠🦶 England kicking possession away with 90 seconds left while leading Is this England side actually building toward something… or stuck in a strange paradox? 🇮🇪 Ireland vs Scotland — Stuart McCloskey Joins Us Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey joins the show after a huge championship. Across the tournament he led Andy Farrell’s Ireland in: 🏉 Carries 🔥 Offloads 💥 Defenders beaten 📈 Post-contact metres He takes us inside the Ireland camp: •⁠ ⁠Ireland’s performance in the final round •⁠ ⁠How the squad felt during those tense closing minutes watching and supporting England! •⁠ ⁠Chasing down Marcus Smith earlier in the championship •⁠ ⁠Life around the Ireland squad •⁠ ⁠And a very entertaining day out in London… Plus: are Ulster finally back? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales vs Italy — Wales Finally Stop the Run Wales ended a long wait for a Six Nations win. ✅ First championship victory since 2023 🏟 First home Six Nations win in four years The game was effectively decided early as Wales raced into a 31-0 lead. Standouts: 🔥 Aaron Wainwright immense 🎯 Dan Edwards running the game with perfect kicking, a try and a drop goal Talking point: 👉 Have Wales finally found their long-term No.10? 🏉 Also on the show •⁠ ⁠⭐ Maul or Nothing Team of the Tournament •⁠ ⁠🏆 Player of the Championship debate •⁠ ⁠🎬 Max’s Moment of the Tournament •⁠ ⁠🎮 Fantasy Rugby results And Ryan nearly missing the show entirely after a night out in Dublin with an A-list Hollywood celebrity before scrambling home for Mother’s Day. 🔐 Sponsored by NordVPN EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://www.nordvpn.com/maul ✔ Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee ✔ Get 4 extra months FREE on the 2-year plan Use code MAUL Topics: Six Nations 2026, France vs England, Ireland vs Scotland, Wales vs Italy, Stuart McCloskey interview, rugby podcast, Six Nations final round analysis.
