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.

With the Wallabies done and dusted, the Dropped Kick-Off wraps up for it's final episode of 2024.

Nick H, Nick W, Dylan and Andy come together to review the year, the Ireland match, and look ahead for Joe Schmidt's Wallabies - it looks like some Lions are on the horizon.

WARNING: alcohol was involved, strong words were said. Warning also includes if you are easily triggered by mentions of Noah Lolesio.

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.

And just like that, the Autumn Series is done for 2024!

Before the Dropped Kick-Off signs off for 2024, Nick W and Natho sit down for an outside perspective on the Autumn Series, the Wallabies and Lions tour, and the state of rugby in general - welcoming back the one and only Paul Tait.

To quote Nick Hartman last night, it was good while it lasted.

The Grand Slam dream might be over, but the Wallabies can still finish 2024 with a flourish in Ireland. The two Nicks and Natho return to chew the fat on the loss to Scotland, and ask how this Autumn tour makes them feel about the Lions next year.

WARNING: don't listen to this podcast if swear words or bad South African accents easily offend you. If that does, suck it up and listen anyway, the world sucks and comedy is meant to be fun, and if you are easily that offended maybe that is more about you. Okay?! Jeez!

KARL is back, and he is shouting at all the clouds! We looked at the Scotland v Wallabies game in depth and had a quicker look at the other games in the Autumn Nations Series.

The Wallabies Grand Slam is still alive - but the biggest challenges loom ahead.

Nick W and Nathan come together to chew the fat on the final fortnight of the Autumn Series - and are joined by a special guest, the Sydney Morning Herald's Jonathan Drennan.

WARNING: mild coarse language, and plenty of chat as to which journo would back you up in a pub fight.

KARL thought we were recording tomorrow, so it's just Happyman and me again this week.

This week, we talk through the Wallabies win against wales and the other games in the Autumn Nations Series, as well as our usual segments.
