Maul or Nothing

This week on Maul or Nothing, Max Lahiff relives the absolute carnage after Saints put Bristol through a woodchipper at Franklin’s Gardens. We ask the big questions:

👉 Is defending officially dead in the Premiership?
👉 Should the Prem introduce the Top 14-style “3 tries more” bonus point?
👉 Why are scores getting completely out of control?
👉 And did the referee REALLY stop the game to help Max find his tooth? 🦷😂

PLUS:
🔥 Leicester Tigers keep the home semi race alive
🔥 Saracens suddenly charging into the playoffs
🔥 Owen Farrell’s accidental hooker cameo
🔥 England squad reaction — Bath stars DROPPED
🔥 BVR’s first England call-up causes chaos
🔥 Ryan Wilson predicts the URC Top 8 EXACTLY 🤯
🔥 Glasgow finish TOP of the URC pile
🔥 Cardiff storm through
🔥 The real story behind SRU frustrations for the final

AND…
🏆 Who actually wins the Champions Cup from here?

This is a proper chaotic MON episode.

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments:
Was Saints v Bristol the most ridiculous Premiership game ever?
