Without a guest to be the wind beneath our little wings, the lads found another gear that they didn't know they had. The boys decided in week 13 to throw Schmidt at the wall to see what would stick and boy did we tackle all the big stuff like the benefits of hybrid rugby players, The ANZAC Test and whether Australia or NZ make the best meat pies. Plus, we dove into a deep rabbit hole to cover the full slate of games in round thirteen of the Super Rugby, as well as a little preview of the European Champions Cup between Bordeaux and Leinster coming up in a few weeks time. Moreover, the boys indulged in a little segment we call ‘The Ditch Debate’, unpacking all the great disagreements between the island nations of Australia and New Zealand. That is right, this little podcast has put to bed the once and for all the fates of such things as Brad Thorn, Phar Lap, the ANZAC biccy and the Flat White coffees. You are welcome! So sit back, relax and brew yourself a cup of joe because this episode has just popped a spicy cube and is all systems go. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
