Max Lahiff, Ryan Wilson and Marc Edwards bring you Maul or Nothing. Join the lads each week as they take you on a visceral and hilarious journey through the rugby world via a rabbit hole or two...It's Maul or Nothing!
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
Louis Rees-Zammit vs Henry Pollock. Two of rugby’s biggest young superstars. Two enormous personalities. And now apparently… a celebration war. 😂
LRZ is absolutely FLYING for Bristol — so what has changed this season, why does he suddenly look so dangerous again, and what about that Pollock trolling?! 👀
Meanwhile, Pedro Rubiolo appears to have developed a genuine propensity for violence — including chasing kicks like a man personally offended by the existence of the opposition. Max approves. Obviously. 😂
Elsewhere in another completely normal episode of Maul or Nothing…
🔪 Has Aaron Wainwright accidentally entered his Jeffrey Dahmer era?
🍆 Naked Attraction comes up, which naturally leads to the far more important question: how much money would it actually take to get Max Lahiff to do a naked calendar?
🇦🇺 And Mark Nawaqanitawase signs off from the NRL in ridiculous fashion — TWO tries in the 2026 Grand Final as the Roosters come from 12–0 down to beat Newcastle 19–18. Now he’s heading back to union… and suddenly the Wallabies’ wing cupboard looks absolutely FILTHY.
🏉 THE 2026/27 PREM
🐻 Bristol v Northampton
LRZ vs Pollock brings the stardust, Bristol make another statement and Rubiolo is immense. Plus, what exactly has changed with the way the driving maul is being refereed?
🦈 Saracens v Sale
Naughty, naughty Jacques Vermeulen… Sale somehow go down to THIRTEEN men and still leave StoneX with the win. And Nathan Jibulu is looking like an absurdly complete rugby player — sort the darts and how high is his ceiling?
🔵 Bath 40–34 Exeter
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso looking borderline unplayable while the Bath pack starts purring.
🍒 Gloucester 48–0 Harlequins
FORTY. EIGHT. NIL. 😳 Against Quins. Jac Morgan, Dewi Lake and the Welsh contingent are already being adopted by The Shed.
🐯 Newcastle 19–24 Leicester
No win yet for the Red Bull revolution — but 10,210 packed into Kingston Park and Newcastle made Tigers seriously sweat.
🌍 THE URC
🏰 Edinburgh are 2 from 2 after following up their Ulster win by beating the Stormers. Are Edinburgh quietly becoming… good?! They’ve even impressed their harshest critic: Ryan Wilson.
☘️ Ciarán Frawley leaves Leinster to become THE GUY at Connacht… and immediately starts doing The Guy things. Two tries against Benetton including the 77th-minute winner. Stuart Lancaster + Frawley could be a very tasty reunion.
🦈 Sharks 26–20 Leinster — the defending champions are 0–2. Yes, yes, young squad, South African tour, nobody burn down Dublin just yet… but it IS very funny.
🍺 Glasgow 33–33 Ulster — cards, momentum swings, both sides down to 13 at different stages and George Horne hits the post late on. Essentially a rugby match played after everyone involved had consumed six pints.
🔴 Munster 26–22 Bulls — another big early-season result at Thomond Park.

SPRINGBOKS SLAIN… AUSSIES DOWN TO 11! 🤯
The Wallabies finished with ELEVEN MEN and still beat the world champions. George Ford spent his afternoon with Bears charging down his channel. And we’ve got two of them in for questioning… 🐻😂
England’s Benhard Janse van Rensburg and Scotland’s Tom Jordan join Marc, Max and Ryan for a Maul or Nothing loaded with international tour tales, Bristol ambition and the sort of stories that probably shouldn’t leave the changing room.
🦶 BVR’s bare feet, his England summer and the family learning the national anthem.
🃏 Card sharks, room wrecking and the dangers of touring with professional rugby players.
✈️ TJ’s tour tales, plane stories and why George Furbank gets dragged into the Scotland conversation.
🇳🇿 Facing the All Blacks, the madness of Josh McKay and what actually helps when New Zealand are coming at you.
🐻 Bristol’s big ambitions, European away days and the all-important question: who gets first class to Cape Town?
😂 Manus, pūkanas… and a haggis. Obviously.
Plus, a short, sharp blast through the weekend’s rugby: Australia’s amazing result versus the Springboks, the Prem and URC, and whether Bristol’s repeated visits to George Ford’s channel amounted to picking on him.
Saints come out firing with Archie McParland starting ahead of Alex Mitchell, that Carreras moment gives us vintage Brian O’Driscoll training-ground flashbacks, and we ask how often players produce THAT sort of filth when the cameras aren’t rolling. ✨
There’s also Will Stuart’s return and Max’s mate James Dun making the highlights for a little extracurricular push and shove. Lovely to see the dark arts getting airtime. 🤝😂
👇 Were the Wallabies brilliant, the Boks wasteful… or was that finish just completely unhinged? Tell us below.

Top 4 or Total Disaster?
Everyone’s unbeaten. Everyone’s optimistic. And at least one of our top-four predictions is going to age like milk by September.
Max, Ryan and Marc look ahead to the 2026/27 season with their Premiership and URC top-four picks. Who’s challenging for silverware, who’s being wildly overhyped, and who’ll be calling it a “rebuilding year” before the clocks go back?
We catch up on what the boys have been up to over pre-season, who’s putting in the hard yards and who’s already having a rough time. Fresh starts, big ambitions and the annual pretence that everyone’s in the best shape of their life.
Plus, Finn Russell’s wedding and a three-tier cigarette display. Forget cutting the cake — who’s going outside with the centrepiece?
Big calls, questionable logic and predictions we’ll be deleting by Christmas.
