The Dropped Kick-Off - Boycott! and Moral Responsibility w/ Anthony Abrahams

Five games this week with the highlight, for me, being the Chiefs v Hurricanes match on Saturday afternoon. But there are a good matchups across the entire round. No Karl this week so Butz has stepped in at the last minute.

As always, we hope you enjoy.
