The Dropped Kick-Off Rugby Podcast

The Dropped Kick-Off Rugby Podcast

The Dropped Kick-Off was started in 2018 by members of the Green and Gold Rugby news team. Featuring a rotating roster, we're seven blokes (sometimes more) from all round the country 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. Come check out everyone's third favourite rugby pod!

The Australian domestic season is done for the year, and what a weekend it was!

Super Rugby AUS comes to a thrilling end, Australia U18s clean sweep New Zealand, Australian Schoolboys cleansweep Fiji - and the future is bright. Nick W, Nath and Nick H discuss - and maybe talk about another Bledisloe match too.

WARNING: a few naughty words be said. We were depressed, be happy you're getting a pod at all.

It's Sunday night, and that powers that be demand we be pietous and not mention the referees!

But luckily we record the pods during the week, and this time it's Nick and Nathan discussing the team, the game on the weekend, and everything we'd missed since we last did our pod.

Hopefully this coming Sunday is more Sundae than Sunday.

Nick H (and Dougie), Nick W and Nath give their thoughts on the Wallabies' close loss to the All Blacks at Eden Park, and what things look like ahead for Perth.

Also, the sound quality is quite variable for this one. Apologies, blame Hartman's echoing phone.
