All Blacks game that has just happened (you'll never guess who we picked to win!), the Netball final between the Sting and Force, some player movements (phnarr!), and dick and athletes of the week.

One of the fascinating things about having an editor who invariably only gets around to posting the latest episode online after the events being discussed have taken place is seeing just how wrong we often are. In this case it's the final of the 2007 Super 14 - who will it be: the Bulls or Sharks? By the time you listen to this, you'll probably know, but tune in anyway, and revel in the Dropkick's misguided assumptions and errant predictions.

There's also dicussion on the Maori team for the Churchill Cup, the NZ Netball team (losing) in the UK, Dick and Athletes of the Week, some baseball, and sex toys...
