The Dropped Kick-Off
The Dropped Kick-Off was started in 2018 by members of the Green and Gold Rugby news team. We're six blokes (sometimes more) who chew the fat on all things Aussie rugby, sitting down with folks in the know, covering left-field and relevant topics around the game in Australia. Opinions our own, and of varying quality.
