The Dropped Kick-Off
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!
