Max Lahiff
Strong, Intelligent, Irreverent: elite rugby pro turned media personality
Max Lahiff is a rare find: a decade-long professional rugby career across the Premiership and Super Rugby, combined with a genuinely compelling media voice. A prop for London Irish, Melbourne Rebels, Bath Rugby and Bristol Bears, Max brings the authority of elite sport and the wit to make it land, whether behind a microphone, in front of a camera, or on stage or corporate event.
As co-host of Maul or Nothing, Max has built a loyal and growing podcast audience with his knack for unfiltered, intelligent sports storytelling. His Next of Kin documentary series, filming in Senegal and Florence to explore extreme global sports, demonstrates real on-camera presence and an instinct for authentic narrative. He co-hosted the official Bear All Bristol Bears podcast, bringing insider access with personality to match.
With over 80,000 Instagram followers, a near 8% engagement rate and a growing presence across audio platforms, Max is a commercially attractive voice for sports, fitness, well-being and lifestyle brands. He is also a Restart Rugby Ambassador, actively championing player welfare and mental health in professional sport.
