George Furbank & Stephen Varney Interviews | THAT Furbank Collision & Prem Rugby Reaction
About this episode
George Furbank & Stephen Varney join Maul or Nothing to break down BIG hits, England selection debates, and Exeter’s Italian revolution 🇮🇹
This week on Maul or Nothing, we’re joined by Northampton Saints + England full back, George Furbank as well as Italy & Exeter scrum-half Stephen Varney for one of our most chaotic and insightful episodes yet.
We dive straight into that huge collision moment — how’s the face?! 🤕 and ask the all-important question:
👉 Would you rather have Sammy Arnold’s injury… or yours?
Plus Max gives us an in-depth update on his omission from the Bears line up at Leicester.
