    Royal Rumble: Sale v Saints Chaos + Six Nations Shock Call

    MON dissects a brutal Premiership weekend and some seismic Six Nations decisions. Sale v Northampton had everything — needle, niggle, and a scoreline that didn’t tell the full story. Ryan caught up with Henry Pollock and Tommy Freeman after the game and lifts the lid on how Saints actually took it. Bristol grind out a filthy win in dreadful conditions — not the Bears way, but maybe their most satisfying yet. Flying high in the Prem… so why only one Bear anywhere near the England squad? Harlequins crash back to earth. Fans leaving early. Should relegation come back into the Premiership? Leicester quietly motor on. Bath enjoy their annual tradition as Finn Russell shushes The Shed. Gloucester stay competitive despite being depleted — with Charlie Atkinson flashing real promise at 10. Try celebrations are getting bolder too — torpedo dives, salutes to opposition fans… is anything off-limits now? URC chaos: •⁠ ⁠Glasgow squeezed by Zebre •⁠ ⁠Stormers beaten at home by the Sharks •⁠ ⁠Bulls win in Edinburgh — and once again prove they do travel Plus: Welsh rugby ownership chaos, England’s stacked depth, major Six Nations omissions, and why some of the biggest names in Europe are watching from home. Who on earth chooses to leave out Damian Penaud??? All that — and MAX on conditions, violence-fuelled motivation, and a proper Royal Rumble Hosted on Acast.

    🎙️Bordeaux Brutalise Saints ft. Salesi Rayasi | Bristol Blitz the Bulls

    Bordeaux Bègles brutalise Northampton Saints in a Champions Cup statement — and this episode features Bordeaux winger Salesi Rayasi, the flying Fijian who lit up the contest with pace, power and presence. Rayasi joins us as we break down a wild night where Bordeaux overwhelmed Saints, Cameron Woki crossed for a hat-trick from the back row, and the atmosphere turned full pantomime. Despite the heavy loss, Henry Pollock somehow drags Saints to a priceless bonus point, producing a WWE worthy performance… first they booed then they chanted his name Elsewhere, Bristol Bears blitz the Bulls at altitude with breathtaking, ball-in-hand rugby (including a try for our very own Max Lahiff)— piling on 75 points by half-time, scoring 16 tries, and handing the Bulls the second-most points ever conceded at Loftus Versfeld in the professional era. Ten Springboks on the teamsheet. Still not enough. Flowing rugby, ruthless tempo, total breakdown. We also cover: •Toulouse losing their aura on the road •Saracens with no European wobble •Harlequins delivering a result nobody called •Stormers’ unbeaten run ending in humiliation (John Dobson: “humiliating”) •A thriller at the Aviva as Harry Byrne holds his nerve in front of nearly 40,000 •Edinburgh all but securing knockout rugby — including a brutal front-row moment •Glasgow Warriors stacking maximum points away at Clermont Hat-tricks.
