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!

What's your favourite logo in all of World Rugby?

Fuelled by another Nick H rabbit hole, Nick W and Natho talk about the fringiest of all fringe teams - and maybe also talk about the November Internationals and what a pass mark would be for Joe Schmidt's Wallabies.

Got a favourite rugby logo. See the World map for yourself and tell us your favourite: https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/xeeiq6/logos_of_national_rugby_union_...

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.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
