Welcome to 2025, and we start off with yet another emergency broadcast.

Joe Schmidt has confirmed he will depart the Wallabies after the 2025 Rugby Championship, meaning the Wallabies will get a fourth coach in as many years.

Nick W, Nick H and Natho come together to chat what happened, the ramifications, and who will be his successor.

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.

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!

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.

The Grand Slam is still alive, and a statement has been made at Twickenham.

The Two Nicks and Natho return to discuss the last week of rugby, including the Wallabies win against England, previewing Wales, and who is the most annoying personality in rugby.

WARNING: strong naughty words cause we're happy boys cause our team won. Sue us.
