With big Ben riding shotgun the boys recap his second UBB European Championship, his post-win social media content and we play a little game of ‘Fact or Fiction - The Big Ben Edition’. Plus, we do a deep dive into the Super Rugby Final and discuss how the Hurricanes dismantled Ben’s beloved Chiefs in the biggest final defeat of all time. With the international season merely 11 sleeps away the boys sink their teeth into the burning questions surrounding the most recent Joe Schmidt Wallabies Squad, they tackle the big bad All Blacks selections and then we give you all the pressing rugby news and scores from around the globe. Lastly we get super handy Swoop to sit down and nut out some listener issues with another helpful dose of ‘Swoop Will Sort It’. So sit back, relax and throw on your most fashionable beret because we are about to send your blood sugar soaring with an all new super-sized episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
