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!

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

Hopefully this coming Sunday is more Sundae than Sunday.
