In this BONUS EP the boys give their instant reaction to the huge news that LRZ is headed to the NFL....or at least to the NFL's International Player Pathway in the hope of making it big in the NFL and securing the success and mega wealth that comes with it!

21: LRZ to the NFL...say whaaaat!

Max Lahiff, Ryan Wilson and Marc Edwards have joined forces once more to bring you Maul or Nothing. Join the lads each week as they take you on a visceral journey through the rugby world via a rabbit hole or two...It's Maul or Nothing!

Rugby

It’s a bumper show with 2 of Rugby’s silkiest stars looking ahead to the most mouthwatering weekend of European Action.



Aphele takes us through The Shark infested waters of a tricky URC season where Europe has been their only relief. It’s why Friday’s showdown has such an added dimension, it’s the be all or end all for both The Sharks and their opponents Gloucester. 



Aphele also relives his dream debut for the Springboks. I mean has there ever been a better first touch in the history international rugby? We also hear what it means for him and his family to be a Springbok.



Meanwhile Hasto gives us an update on everything to do with Blair Kinghorn. It’s funny that Blair spent most of our recent catch up telling us all about Hasto…. Ah the star crossed lovers. We hear about the significance of this redemptive match at Tottenham Hotspur's Stadium, the fallout from that drubbing at the hands of the Saints and his move to Glasgow. Will Hasto’s GF be joining him or will golf with Ryan be too time consuming?



In terms of the boys, Max’s season comes to an end but not before we wax lyrical about his try scoring prowess and London being painted Bears over the weekend. 



Ryan continues to play golf

The boys are delighted to be joined by Springbok World Cup Winner Marco Van Staden wearing his scars from a bruising encounter with Ryan’s Glasgow Warriors. 



We hear all about the big clash as well as Marco’s World Cup stories, what the win meant for the people back home in South Africa and about the man, the myth, the legend that is Rassie Erasmus and what it’s like being one of his disciples.



Max meanwhile takes us through the disappointing loss to Saracens and how their big name players step up at key moments and are almost operating on a different level. 



Unfortunately there’s still time for the boys to bang on about DIY and golf but far more enjoyably they also try to answer all your fabulous  questions you’ve written into the show so THANK YOU!!!

43: Marco Van Staden - Bulls charge for URC glory + Bristol & Quins blitzed

A super special Champions Cup show from the boys as they bring you not one but TWO superstars in the shape of World Cup winning wrecking ball André Esterhuizen and Toulouse royalty Blair Kinghorn. 



André relives the previous 24 hours with Harlequins, the pride in their performance but also the frustration at how close they got. He gives his take on that silly penalty from Joe Marler at a crucial time and the mindset of the boys as they entered the “neutral” lions den. There are also some choice words on the French broadcasting standards and Thomas Ramos Lord of the shithousers.



He also takes us through the heartbreak of missing out on a World Cup and then winning one, his Sharks move and he explains his thinking around why Marcus Smith is the best fly half for him. 



VIP friend of the show Blair meanwhile is living the dream as Toulouse head to the Champions Cup final but it’s kinda hard to see his emotions because HIS NOSE IS FAAAAAAAAAAAACKED and buried under a ton of dressing like he’s been mummified. So what was he doing while his buddies were out celebrating? We won’t give it all away but it involves crying and holding hands….

42: André Esterhuizen + Blair Kingschnozz - Too Hot Toulouse (your nose)

Game changing, match winning, Tiger mauling, whitewash crossing, ball destroying Max Lahiff obliterating his try scoring statistics with not one but TWO meat pies. You might be surprised to hear that we go quite big on Max’s starring role in the Bears stunning comeback win at Leicester to boost their hopes of a playoff place. 



Maxotron takes us through those defining moments and what was being shouted at the Bristol bench when they were 19 points down with around 10 minutes to go…..



The boys also wade into the Danny Care card controversy… should he have been sent off? Is it wise for referees to officiate their former teams? 



In any case the Thriller at Twickenham is put under the microscope as the Saints march is halted and Quins keep up the pace with the top four. 



It’s so tight in the Prem that even Exeter in 7th are still in with a shout.



The boys take us through the big talking points of the URC as the top 4 put daylight between themselves and the chasing pack….



And we look ahead to those monumental champions cup semi finals

41: The Saviour of Bristol Bears and The Care Card Controversy

Big week for the Maxotron! With Ryan dropping hints on every episode that Max was heading to the URC with Benetton…. Max is in fact remaining a Bear for another year. Speaking of Bristol… there was a feeding frenzy at Ashton Gate as The Falcons had their wings clipped by a ravenous record Bears mauling. Some eye watering statistics included:

13 Tries (Max Lahiff 0 but claiming almost 1…)

44 clean breaks (Max Lahiff 0)



The boys discuss the business end of both the Prem and URC which is getting tighter per day. 



Bath are back on track while the Saints go marching on….



There are some particularly surprising weekend results in the URC though including 2 home defeats for the South African sides…. What do the Bulls fans make of resting their stars for the European Cup and then losing to Munster anyway? 

Ospreys carry the Welsh flame as they stun the Stormers in SA. But the big one…. The Lions liquifying Leinster to make sure there were some smiles on South African faces on Saturday. 



Oh and the boys want your rugby stories! The Rumour Maul is back! 



Also to our fans in Dubai, there’s a live show coming so keep your eyes and ears peeled for a forthcoming announcement!
