Bristol’s season is over, but not before Max Lahiff signed off Ashton Gate in style.

The Bears may have missed the Premiership semi-finals, but they’ve still got the West Country bragging rights — and after that result which shall not be mentioned — they bounced back in exactly the right way.

Max joins us fresh from Friday night after scoring the winning try on his 200th Premiership appearance. Remarkably, it was his 10th Premiership try — matching Ryan Wilson’s career tally of 10 in 222 appearances. We break down the game, the celebrations, becoming an accidental social media sensation, launching Sam Underhill into low earth orbit, and whether we’ve lost a listener in the process.

We also look back on an unforgettable weekend in Bilbao — the rugby, the food, the friends and the chaos — before reacting to the internet’s latest attempts to describe Max:

•⁠ ⁠The Honey Badger born in the Cotswolds

•⁠ ⁠Like Hugh Grant and The Rock had a baby

•⁠ ⁠A shoo-in for a Bond villain

•⁠ ⁠The Brian Blessed of rugby

•⁠ ⁠And multiple comparisons to Lord Flashheart…

Then it’s URC quarter-final time.

Ryan relives Glasgow’s hard-fought victory over Connacht in a bruising contest, with Kyle Steyn once again delivering when it mattered most.

We also hear from Dan Lancaster after helping Glasgow beat a side coached by his father, Stuart Lancaster. What did he know about the old man? Did he have access to the calls? And what’s it really like trying to knock your dad out of the URC?

We break down all the quarter-final action:

•⁠ ⁠Bulls v Munster

•⁠ ⁠Stormers v Cardiff

•⁠ ⁠Leinster v Lions

Plus our semi-final predictions. Can either South African side stop what feels like an inevitable Glasgow v Leinster final?

We then turn our attention to the Premiership run-in:

•⁠ ⁠Saints secure a home semi-final

•⁠ ⁠Exeter damage Leicester’s top-two hopes while ending Bristol’s season

•⁠ ⁠Saracens keep rolling — is this the start of Sarries 2.0 or simply a strong finish?

•⁠ ⁠Newcastle’s end-of-season celebrations and whether they’re getting slightly carried away…

And with one round left, we preview two huge fixtures:

•⁠ ⁠Bath v Leicester — potentially a semi-final dress rehearsal

•⁠ ⁠Exeter v Saracens — effectively a win-and-you’re-in shootout

We came for the pintxos, we stayed for the utter demolition. The Maul Or Nothing boys are coming to you live from Bilbao, sun-soaked (and slightly hungover) to digest a Champions Cup final that saw Bordeaux turn San Mamés into their own personal playground.

Ryan catches up with the Bordeaux stars (and fans); including Le Petit Jason Statham; Maxime Lucu, The Wizard of Wellington (NZ) Senesi Rayasi and the European Player of the Year aka The Bordeaux Bullet; Louis Bielle-Biarrey.

And what about Leinster? Four finals lost in five years. If it was painful before, was this 41-19 rout downright catastrophic for Leinster?

Join us for Basque taste of how the day went down.

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?
