KARL is still smashed at work, but found time for Happy and me this week. We look at the Brumbies and the Blues in Bad Game or Bad Sign. Run through this week’s game and have a decent Shout at the clouds to finish things off.As always, we hope you enjoy.

Nutta is off the bench this week for KARL who surprisingly couldn’t find time to talk about his Hurricanes winning. We look at the Force and the Waratahs in Bad Game or Bad Sign. Run through this week’s game and have a decent Shout at the clouds to finish things off.As always, we hope you enjoy.

Happyman is back from holidays and KARL turned up despite his beloved Canes coming second on the weekend. This week we look at the Reds and the Blues in Bad Game or Bad Sign. Run through this week’s game and have a decent Shout at the clouds to finish things off.As always, we hope you enjoy.

We had a few technical problems tonight, my best guess is Cyclone Alfred is messing with stuff. I’ve done my best to sort things out. Nutta and KARL are on tonight while Happyman is away on holidays. We discuss our highlights from last weekend, look at how we think a couple of team’s year is going, go through the five games and then have a shout at the clouds.As always, we hope you enjoy.

We are two rounds in to the Super Rugby season and a few things have been turned on their heads. It looks like there are no easy games this year. This week, we look back on our favourite moments from last week in “What we loved”. We have a crack a new segment in “Bad Game or Bad Sign”. We preview this week’s games and then get a little angry in “Shouting at Clouds”.We hope you enjoy it, Especially the part where the Queenslanders tell the referee that he’s wrong.

While the Reds luxuriated in their first round bye, Moana were melting in the mid 30 degree heat in their 84-minute loss to the Force. Moana have stuck with the starting side that played last week, but you’d have to say there’d be some fatigue after the effort last week. While the Reds have named seven Wallabies to start and another three in the tight forwards to finish the game and counter the power of the Moana scrum. This should be a comfortable win for an ambitious Reds side, but Moana Pacifika look sharp and have ambitions of their own.The…

After a brilliant start to the 2025 Super Rugby season, spirits are high as we look back on our favourite moments from last week in “What we loved”. We preview this week’s games and then get a little angry in “Shouting at Clouds”. We hope you enjoy it, Especially the part where I nearly fall off my chair.

Well, here we are, on the cusp of a new Super Rugby season. A time when all the teams are equal and every team, yes even yours Hoss, has a theoretically even chance of winning the entire show. So despite the Queensland Reds having a week one bye, Happyman and I dragged ourselves to the microphone to Join KARL for our proper Team’s podcast for the year. We went through all the games, had a talk about some new laws everyone has to deal with and had a wee whinge about commentators near the end. We hope you enjoy it.Friday…

I’ll admit that I’ve spent a fair bit of time over the summer break fattening up in the top paddock, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not ready for a big year of Super Rugby. Happyman, KARL, and I are back for season two, and this week we cast our eye over each team and gave our opinions on how they’ll go, how they had recruited, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. We even had a crack at picking the overall winners and losers.

The guys from the Dropped Kick Off have one or two more podcasts coming out, but this is us until just before the Super Rugby season kicks in. Karl, Happy and I chat about the game against Ireland and rate the Autumn tour and name our stand-out players and our work ons. To finish off, there is a short skit sent in from one of our regulars.

South Africa are red-hot favourites for this match, but Argentina are in a rare run of form with wins against New Zealand and Australia under their belts. This should be an interesting game.The first halfThe Springboks dominated the first 10 minutes, racing out to a 17-0 lead, and it seemed they could score at will. Then, the game shifted towards Argentina, and they had most of the run of play for the rest of the half. In that time, they managed to score 26 unanswered points through four entertaining tries. And it was only in the dying moments of the…

It’s just me and KARL this week, with Happyman unavailable. We have a chat about the four games played in the RC so far, then discuss how we think the All Black and Wallaby tours will go, and finish off with a lively discussion about the high contact law. We manage to do that in just under 55 minutes for those timing us. If you have a question for anyone on the podcast, please send it to sully@greenandgoldrugby.com

Welcome, once again, to the Weekend Edition.As I sit here waiting for the tour match between the Reds and Wales to start, I can’t help but feel a little sad that this doesn’t happen more often. You see kiddies, back in the days when Keith and Brisnie were young men, you had to take a steamship and/or a train to tour anywhere, tours weren’t a few weeks they were a few months. You didn’t just spend a few weeks travelling to the colonies to teach the antipodean scum some manners and ruggers in a couple of test matches, you had…

This week, we’ve dumped KARL and bought in regular G&GR commenter Georgia Satellite, who has spent plenty of time in Georgia and Russia over the years. We talk about the Reds taking on Wales in Queensland, the Wallabies game against Georgia in Sydney and the All Blacks game against Fiji in the US. As well as our usual segments.You can now also listen on YouTube.If you have a question for anyone on the podcast, please send it to sully@greenandgoldrugby.com

Welcome, once again, to the Weekend Edition.Look, I love the Northern Hemisphere tours every July. But there’s one thing that comes with them that really frickin’ annoys me, and it’s their bastardisation of team sheets with their 15-9 then 1-8 then 16-23 set up.It’d be no surprise to you that money was the original incentive for numbers on jerseys. In the late 1800s there was a big black market for counterfeit match programmes, so the Aussie and Kiwi club managements figured out a good way to get patrons to buy their official programmes was to put numbers on the players’…
