Good mates of the Dropkicks
The Dropkicks is a rugby podcast and sports blog site illuminating your path through the murky world of international rugby, league, cricket, football, baseball, motorsports, golf, netball and competitive eating.
Here's a download link, for those who want to listen while they're doing other stuff. Sorry for the crappy editing!

No podcast this week. I finally got round to editing the last two, after experiencing the fortnight of hell. Apologies to the five people I disappointed by getting these up late. As always there's more than just Super 14 discussion in them, and I'm wrong a lot.
Can't embed the second one for whatever reason, but you can download it here. It's only Lee and I and we spend a lot of the time berating Stephen Donald's chip kick tactic and crying about the Hurricanes' loss to the Cheetahs.
This could have been up well before the weekend, but I made an editorial decision to wait for the announcement of the new Hurricanes coach and ended up cutting that section from the podcast.
The first 10m or so are really loud, before it goes quiet for some reason, sorry. The dictaphone didn't even move!
Yep, there's finally a new podcast to add to your iPod. In this one, my mate Lee and The Brat from The Cheap Seats review and preview the Super 14 and I turn out to be wrong a lot - and get sidetracked, but this time I don't forget my original points.
You'll notice at the end, I promised games and debate. Yeah. I forgot to record these. For the record, Lee was applying for the position of Grant Nisbett's massage therapist and failed, The Brat got Ali William's physio and declined the position on the grounds that she would just take advantage of him, and I was told to be Jesse Ryder's Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor.
The debate was a rip snorter, with Lee and The Brat asked to debate who would be a better 1st five in a hypothetical team - Stephen Brett or Stephen Donald. Lee won that one. The second was a fictional fight between Dunedin's international sporting exports, Brendon McCullum and Jimmy Cowan. Cowan had the powerup of the demon booze, while McCullum had the benefit of the bat. The Brat won me over debating staunchly for Macca, despite my personal opinion that Cowan would win. Lee pulled off an amazing call about Captain Planet that I can't remember, but he wanted to have noted.
Enjoy.
After the slight (and hardly noticeable) mistake in the last podcast this time (ah, the perils of a two-podcast household) we've got it all correct (except the result of the game which we got wrong).
Now all we have to do is wait for the PrettyPrettyPretty post where they talk about rugby.
It's been a looooooong time, but we're back!
Well, not all of us, but enough of us to record a semi-coherent fairly-audible podcast. And in the great tradition of the Dropkicks, I've uploaded it after the game we tried to predict.
If you'd like to hear my interview on bFM in which I fail to recall any decent sports results from the past year, the link is here: Audio (MP3, 16m42s, 3.8MB)
That's right in nearly 17mins I failed to recall the Olympics, the League World Cup, the U17 World cup, the Rugby Sevens, Euro 2008, and pretty much everything good that happened in sport.
A shining moment in radio.
