Maul or Nothing

It’s all about Bath as the boys put on a Christmas extravaganza. 14KG’s of Turkey meat and Finn proving he’s made at least 2 friends during his time at Bath (exact amount)

We sit down with Finn Russell, Ollie Lawrence and Cameron Redpath to hear all about their Christmas quirks, the socials during festive periods and life as a rugby player at this joyful time.

And we hear what makes up the typical Christmas day in the Wilson, Lahiff, Russell, Lawrence and Redpath households.

Bonus footage - Check out the Youtube episode for extra fun, frolics and dinner time chat!

Hot off the press, the boys round up the latest Champions Cup action including overanalysing Max’s display against Bordeaux on and off the field…. Pontificating on whether a testimonial means Courtney Lawes can’t play for England in the Six Nations despite his ridiculously good form. 
They’re full of praise for ice man Mannie Libbok but less so for Zander Fagerson! 

There’s also a big transfer section this week including Eddie Jones’ Japanese jaunt and the Hybrid contract situation in England.

So much to pack in but all the rugby chat you need after a fabulous weekend of European action

The boys are back in Bristol sitting down with Adam Hastings for a costume, frolic filled Christmas special.

They discuss fabulous Christmas gifts, the time Ryan and Hasto fell asleep in a club… with Ryan’s parents…and the randomness of writing off your car…

Getting stuck  into this weeks theme of Tours, we hear about onsens, shavings, Argentine dive bars / super clubs and who are the best (and worst) room mates...
And like all good Christmas parties it naturally finishes with a silly game and chilly shots!

The boys discuss all the big action and talking points from Game Week 1 of the European Champions Cup; including a near clean sweep for the much maligned English teams, led by a magical display by Marcus Smith, and ironically only ruined by the Prem Champions going down to the Blue Bulls…
They also reflect on a historic draw for Bayonne at Thomond Park…throw their support behind Henry Arundel’s big decision and talk about Bath’s new Spiderman kit.
And with GW1 in the bag, the boys also make their slightly more informed predictions about who will be crashing out of the competition at the first hurdle this year.

In the first of their up close and personal pods the boys get together with Bristol and England scrum half, Harry Randall aka “The Piece”.

The theme is away bus trips… we hear all about that bizarre quirk in professional athletes lives where rules are rewritten, friendships are made and broken and bird baths aren’t necessarily what you think they are….

Rands also spills the dirt on life working with Max, which global rugby celeb gave him his nickname “The Piece” and how he went from England's starting 6 Nations scrum half last year to missing out on the World Cup.

The boys discuss all the biggest games of the weekend including last gasp wins in the URC and Shark beatings in Pretoria and at the hands of Harlequins but more importantly who would win out of a bull and a shark. These are some of the life affirming questions answered by the boys…. There’s also reflection on Owen Farrell’s international sabbatical and speculation around England’s best options at no. 9. Ryan also takes us through waltzing into the wrong part of town in the Munster heartland… they really don’t like him there.

Ryan is back in Glasgow Warriors colours as he takes the punditry game to a different level while Max delves deep into the heartbreaking yet encouraging Bristol match against the juggernaut that is Saracens. He was at the Stone X and takes us through the Faz horror show from the tee and whether his outburst at the referee was justified…We find out that Ryan needs no covert conversations when it comes to concussions and that Max has been given a gentle nudge before.The boys pull no punches as they breakdown each match from the URC and Gallagher Premiership

The Ultimate Rugby Hype Men and Fun Sponge Sapuccinos

The boys break down a packed weekend of rugby action with Max back in the starting line up at the Bears. With unwarranted questions around Max’s on field body language the duo take us through the rugby players who pick you up when you’re down and conversely those that somehow manage to bring you right down when you’re up! 

Ryan breaks new ground as a pundit as he prepares to do something no other pro has ever done (apparently… according to Ryan… with very little empirical evidence and absolutely no fact checking from the MoN production team)

With Antoine Dupont heading to the 7s circuit the lads (du)pontificate on the make up of their Ultimate home nations 7s team for next years Olympics (hint: very fast with very little size….)  

And a round up of all the weeks rugby talking points, including Maro’s money, AWJ’s final fling and Welsh worries

The boys are in  Cardiff to put The Tongan Thor, Taniela Tupou, Goosey purveyor of Grubbers, Angus Bell and Captain Rebels Fantastic, Rob Leota under the microscope. 

The wounded wallabies take stock of life in the post Eddie Jones period, what their World Cup camp was like, preparations for the greatest week of their lives (Barbarians drinking) and how Australia will cope when the British & Irish Lions come to town.
