Maul or Nothing Maul Or Nothing

It’s actually happened…. Can you believe it… Glasgow Warriors are URC champions. They beat the Bulls and the altitude to give Scottish rugby one of its most crowning moments.
OBVIOUSLY Ryan was there as a one man hype machine, he’s in the stand with Steve Kitshoff, he’s among the fans, he’s in the winning dressing room, he’s on their bus and he’s absolutely broken on his way home. (You’ll never guess the British and Irish Lions star to his left on his flight home)
We are blessed to have a very dusty Huw Jones, wearing his champions cap, take us through all the emotions of the match. The feeling going into it, how they reacted to going 13-0 down in an arena full to the brim with Bulls fans. He then takes us through the celebrations and how Klingon Wilson went full kit on them.
There’s also a rather sobering flight home, before they’re back on it and the party goes again.
The Maul or Nothing team take you into the heart of an enthralling final and celebrations to match. Enjoy!

We are really going up in the world…. It’s a very special episode of Maul or Nothing as we head to our favourite luxury hotel, the Mandarin Oriental, to welcome Baba’s boys Jonathan Joseph and Zach Mercer to our suite to sip the finest champagne in the world in the shape of Pol Roger. It was the tipple of Sir Winston Churchill don’t you know…. so we enjoy some lovely drops of that while discussing all things code.
How has the France experience gone at Biarritz for JJ and how does it compare to Zach’s stunning time at Montpellier?
What are Zach’s England aspirations as he continues to put in world class performances?
How big has the Barbarians party actually been?
Perhaps most importantly…. As friends and former teammates. .. How much can they take the piss out of Max Lahiff in an hour???
All questions answered….
It’s a cracker!

We’re delighted to be joined by arguably one of the most destructive, powerful and consistent centres (nailed on 🦁 for 🇦🇺 in our humble biased opinion) in world rugby in the shape of Sione Tuipulotu. He takes us into the heart of the battle of Thomond Park, the feeling he had about what was going to happen and why the boys didn’t actually really celebrate an epic victory over the defending champions, Munster.
Sione also corroborates a lot of Ryan’s stories around getting in hot water with Munster fans (we love our Irish viewers, so please don’t listen to Ryan, he’s a weirdo with an Irish chip on his shoulder) 
Apparently there was a lot of chat flying around on and off the pitch which Nonz prefers! Reminds him of his under 15 days! 
In other news Sione’s brother, Mosese, is moving to Scotland and in his words “Scar” is coming for him 😂 as he’s joining the dark side (Edinburgh….) 
Max meanwhile is back from Ed Holmes’s stag do in Marbella where they collided with Gareth Anscombe, Ellis Jenkins and more of the Welsh boys who were also on a stag. Ryan survived Munster and is happy to talk about the Bulldozing Bulls beating a stacked Leinster side. 
Are they the unluckiest team on earth or is there more to it?
Max and Ryan take us through that absolute powerhouse of a Bulls pack and just how dangerous they’ll be at home to Glasgow.
We look ahead to the summer tests and some spectacularly tasty ties to tuck into…. Springboks vs Ireland anyone?!? 
Oh and most importantly we finally get round to answering some of your questions! Keep them coming in!

It’s an absolute bumper show filled with an A List cast where we get both sides of the story from a truly engrossing Premiership Final.
Bath’s back row bulldozer Ted Hill joins the boys to take them through what was a sensational performance from his team who came so close to taking the title. What were the messages directly after the red card? How has Beno taken the defeat and above all did they get to The Ship?
Ted also talks all things England, what Finn Russell has brought to the club and his Premiership Team of the Season (which is very hard to argue against)
Meanwhile the Saints are still on the smash and they’re in Benidorm (of all places) for Joel Matavesi’s stag…. Rory Hutchinson takes the lads into the heart of the action as the party seems to be ongoing…see how many of the Saints boys you can spot. Lots of questions to be asked…not many answers given... which Matavesi brother is in his budgie smugglers, why is Lewis Ludlam refusing to take off his top and who exactly is the best National 2 player?
In other news Max is back from South Korea having appeared to eat food that is very much still alive and Ryan didn’t mention golf, which is a relief

The boys are back into the league chats with Prem semi finals to discuss and a final round of the URC regular season to dissect. 
Ryan as usual was shameless in hitting up his old pal Finn Russell and his new pal Fin Smith for an exclusive chat, which will come, depending on who wins on Saturday at Twickenham. Read between the lines it was a straight no for this week although why Fin Smith was unavailable is rather amusing! 
The URC is into the business end with the last 8 decided. Toby Booth’s Ospreys squeezing into the mix much to the delight of the boys.
It’s safe to say that Ryan has delivered his albatross predictions so Glasgow might be in trouble. 
In other news, could all the South African fans hammering Max for saying yes to Steve Kitshoff’s tops off challenge (that Kitsy instigated)….. keep going on the viral post...It’s funny! 😂

How Toulouse celebrated their Champions Cup Win with Blair Kinghorn!
From riding a zebra at Tottenham Hotspur stadium, to Champagne goggles with Antoine DuPont, the scenes on arrival at Toulouse airport and the non stop partying since, Smaug breaks down the greatest celebrations of his life. 
He joins the boys from the lilo in his pool at his house in Toulouse wearing just a European Cup winners medal while his neighbour Jack Willis watches from over the fence.
We hear all about the celebrations, the partying, what the management had planned for them and whether there’s still some partying to be done.
We also hear about the game….
What was going through their minds when Leinster lined up a drop goal seconds before the end of the 80…. what makes Antoine DuPont so superhuman and what exactly goes on in Smaugs mind? 
Blair also takes us through the chats with Thomas Ramos around who would take the pressure kicks, and the not nearly discussed enough cover tackle on Dan Sheehan. 
He’s a hero, he’ll never have to buy a drink in Toulouse ever again…. Ladies and Gentlemen… Blair Kinghorn 👑
