The British & Irish Lions are up and running — ruthless, composed, but was the whole thing missing an ingredient? Farrell nailed every call, Curry and Beirne beast mode , and Finn Russell painted a masterpiece 🎨
In this, the 100th episode of Maul or Nothing, we unpack the fallout from the First Test, analyse what the Wallabies can change, and look ahead to Round Two. Plus: Max is back in pre season, ouch. Ryan’s been on a lash-fuelled jolly in Aus, and the Dirt Trackers get their moment but can it count and has it ever?
