Green & Gold Rugby

Podcast channel for THE Aussie Rugby Website: Green and Gold Rugby. We produce three podcasts - the Green and Gold Rugby Show, the Rugby Report Card and The Dropped Kick-Off. The Report Card takes no prisoners as they analyse the weekend's games, while the G&GR Show breaks down the burning questions in Australian rugby. The Dropped Kick-Off sits down with folks in the know, covering left-field and relevant topics around the game in Australia.

The Dropped Kick-Off - What the hell was that?

Can't promise this is one of our best instant reactions... but then again, it also fits the game we just watched. Nick H and Natho sit through and dissect the Wallabies loss at Twickenham so you don't have to. WARNING: Swear words and variable sound quality See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sorry guys but I'm done with the talking teams pod. The constant personal bias bashing of individual players has become very tedious. I get it, you don't like Skelton & you think RA paid too much for Suaalii. Sick of hearing the negativity & to claim the selection of Suaalii was the reason we lost to Scotland shows you've jumped the shark.

Very open and honest debate...but, as you say...if Scotland can improve with f-all resources, the Wallabies can do!!! The boys look tired against a very good team.
