INSIDE the Leinster vs Northampton EPIC | Rory Hutchinson, Fin Smith, Henry Pollock & Fraser Dingwall REACT

What a blockbuster we’ve got for you this week on Maul or Nothing! We sit down with Northampton Saints and Scotland centre Rory Hutchinson to go deep inside that unbelievable Champions Cup semi-final win over Leinster Rugby.

Hutch breaks down how Saints pulled off one of the biggest upsets in European rugby, revealing what changed from last year’s semi-final heartbreak to this year’s triumph. From being written off by everyone to pulling together as a squad—was that Leinster loss in 2024 exactly what this group needed?

We’ve also got exclusive post-match reactions from Fin Smith, Henry Pollock, and Fraser Dingwall, as Ryan gets the immediate scoop straight from the pitch.
