Top 4 or Total Disaster?

Everyone’s unbeaten. Everyone’s optimistic. And at least one of our top-four predictions is going to age like milk by September. Max, Ryan and Marc look ahead to the 2026/27 season with their Premiership and URC top-four picks. Who’s challenging for silverware, who’s being wildly overhyped, and who’ll be calling it a “rebuilding year” before the clocks go back? We catch up on what the boys have been up to over pre-season, who’s putting in the hard yards and who’s already having a rough time. Fresh starts, big ambitions and the annual pretence that everyone’s in the best shape of their life. Plus, Finn Russell’s wedding and a three-tier cigarette display. Forget cutting the cake — who’s going outside with the centrepiece? Big calls, questionable logic and predictions we’ll be deleting by Christmas. 🥃 SPONSORED BY WOLFCRAIG This episode is proudly sponsored by Wolfcraig Whisky.
