This week we’ve got a the bath beast on the pod — South Africa’s World Cup–winning prop and fresh Rugby Championship champion, Thomas du Toit. We get into the Boks’ brutal battle with Argentina, that record demolition of the All Blacks, Bath’s big season, transfer gossip (billions of rand?!), and why Rassie Erasmus apparently wants every prop to kick goals and run 90 metres for fun (or not) Plus: the “freak athlete” question that reveals who’s the most ridiculous physical specimen in the Bok camp. 🏉 Rugby chat also includes: • Rugby Championship finale — Boks pip All Blacks on points difference (+57 vs +8) • Wallabies’ campaign autopsy & Argentina’s underrated rise and why the All Blacks get negativity while continuing to win • URC madness — Leinster lose both, Zebre win both, Bulls’ revenge thriller • Premiership chaos — Bristol’s injury crisis, Northampton’s wild 37–35 escape, Leicester’s monster comeback vs Quins • Rugby360 rumours — new funding model, centralised finances, and what it means for the game 😂 Plus: “Props who look like Max Lahiff shouldn’t be allowed.” ⸻ 🔥 This Episode is sponsored by NordVPN Get our EXCLUSIVE NordVPN deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/maul Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee, plus 4 extra months free on the 2-year plan.
