his week on Maul or Nothing: big hits, big calls, and even bigger questions. Max’s Bears brought the fireworks — a harsh yellow, some bone-rattling carries, and Bristol’s defence turning savage with Beaver and Big Bill Mata dishing out serious punishment. Somehow, Ciaran Donaghue bounced back like he’s made of plasticine. Bristol’s playoff hopes? It's in their own hands now... Meanwhile, Leicester roll out the red (and smoky) carpet for Geoff Parling’s return as head coach — a savvy move from th...

First things first we’re sorry! The show is late this week and there’s only one reason for it…. Ryan Wilson… surprise surprise. He’s kept everyone waiting by going on a massive bender in Hong Kong and therefore left Max and Marc hanging for 2 days. We do get him for about 2 mins with John Barclay and Niko Matawalu in a club 👍. But at least we hear how Max’s crazy match against Exeter went down and that Bill Mata hit. In the end Marc has to go to Hong Kong and the boys are finally together to ta...

England have finally beaten a tier 1 nation and delivered a win that finally puts the Borthwick doubters back in their seats... Or has it? What do the boys think?
