As Andrea Bocelli once said “it’s time to say goodbye” to 2025 and gear up for a very merry silly season filled with rosé, prawns and a little touch of gout. This year for the KOKO show has been an absolute belter, we opened a new stadium in Hong Kong, we welcomed the British and Irish Lions down under and we delivered 48 rib tickling episodes to the people. This week we are rolling out the OG crew one last time to talk about the slate of international games that happened over the weekend, including the French smash up of the Wallabies, the Boks bouncing Ireland, the AB’s getting it done over Wales and England sneaking past the Argentinians. In what has been a topsy turvy year for rugby in Australia we saw it fit to finish the season with a little health check of the Wallabies, to see if McDreamy, McSteamy and McPeggy can still feel a pulse. With all the footy now in the rear vision mirror that lads decided to reflect on the year that was by presenting to you our loyal fans the second annual screening of the ‘KOKO Awards’ - recognising excellence in the fields of footy, fame and fun stuff. Plus, we are the gift that keeps on giving, as you know we have been shredding for summer all thanks to our partnership with WHOOP and today is the day for our grand reveal. Although not all of us hit our targets (or none of us) there is a glorious mid-show medley of man meat that simply can’t be missed. So, before we sign off one final time for 2025, all of us here at KOKO would love to thank you for your loyal and unwavering support of our silly little show. Please keep fighting the good fight, being kind to one another and please keep your eye on Swoop in the wild. It is time for the season finale of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we are joined in studio by a follically fabulous fly-half, he is a bronzed bombshell from Bondi who should probably be on tour with the Wallabies right now, but what the hell do we know! It is of course the one and only Mr Ben Donaldson. With Benny Boy riding shotgun the lads get candid with their concerns, as they dissect the Wallabies’ record breaking loss to a Mack Hansen powered Irish side in Dublin. The loss to Ireland is one thing for the Wallabies, but the lads appeared to be more shocked by the manner and style in which the Aussies got annihilated in the Emerald Isle. The boys get stuck into a road map of why the Wallabies find themselves in this situation and then they propose some possible ways in which we can right this ship, post the Joe Schmidt era. However, it is not all doom and gloom on the KOKO show as we highlight some of the other games from over the weekend, results that saw England beat the All Blacks in style, Scotland blow a big lead against Argentina and the Springboks beat Italy with only 14 men, AGAIN! As the international year comes to a close, we round the bend with only one week remaining in the Spring Tour and for the Wallabies it is all about leaving a mark against France, drawing a line in the sand that says “the slide stops here”. The KOKO Crew gives you all their predictions heading into round four of the tour, airing a few spicy upsets in the process and telling you who are the dead set locks. To finish the show we step away from the privately educated world of these ra ra raggamuffins to answer a listener question that shows a more human side to the lads - “what is your guilty pleasure no one knows about?’ - let’s just say the answers will knock your cashmere socks off. So sit back, relax, draw yourself a nice long bath and eat a tub of crunchy peanut butter with a spoon. This all new episode of Kick Offs and Kicks Ons is one hell of a therapy session!

This week on The KOKO Show the lads were a little down in the dumps and we decided that we wouldn't subject a special guest to our somber footy fuelled pizza-less pity party. Thus, we went for a no guest nonsense episode in the hope that with each other's support, love and no mention of Italian cuisine, we might start to make some sense of the Azurri’s shocking defeat over the Wallabies in Udine. The boys in this ep untie the bondage ropes, unfurl the main-sail and shoot from the hip as they search for answers surrounding the apparent regression of Australian rugby post their historical win over the Boks in South Africa. Questions are raised and theories are presented as to why our glorious gold jersey is dipping back into bad habits and playing an inaccurate brand of footy that screams fatigue and self-doubt. However, KOKO isn't just a one stop shop for doom and gloom, as we touch on all the other results from week two of the Spring Tour, matches that saw the Boks bounce the Frogs, the English defeat Fiji, the Pumas pounce on the Welsh and the All Blacks thumb their noses to the thistles. Plus, we take a look forward to week 3 of the tour, previewing and predicting that some teams (the All Blacks) will continue their roll and where others can bounce back from the depths of defeat (the Wallabies). Finally, the lads really lighten the mood of the show by answering a listener's question to take their minds off the on field action and boy does it ruffle a couple of feathers. So sit back, relax and boycott your local Italian businesses, it is very clear that they are doing better than advertised! Alorra ladies and gentlemen, it is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Start of the show 02:04 - ITALY V AUSTRALIA REVIEW 08:19 - Why don’t the Wallabies pick their best 23? 11:25 - We look at the world rankings 13:01 - The Wallabies are predictable 19:29 - Wallabies’ injury crisis 20:36 - Best Wallaby performers 23:38 - The Italians were good 26:56 - FRANCE V SOUTH AFRICA REVIEW 31:45 - The guys discuss their favourite herbs 34:03 - SCOTLAND V NEW ZEALAND REVIEW 38:33 - Next week’s games 39:44 - WALES V ARGENTINA REVIEW 40:28 - ENGLAND V FIJI REVIEW 42:00 - Listener Question “What is pissing you off at the moment?” 49:05 - The WHOOP Segment 52:13 - Close of the show KOKO BONUS PATREON CONTENT - SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://www.patreon.com/cw/KickOffsandKickOns JOIN WOOP NOW AND GET THE FIRST MONTH FREE: http://join.whoop.com/Koko BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.com Make sure you follow us on all socials: INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us info@shtn.com.au.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads are left to pick up the pieces after watching the Wallabies get put to the sword by a clinical English side over the Weekend. As Australians, there are a few things in life that can completely ruin your day: an increase in petrol prices, a shit coffee, tall poppies and losing to England in absolutely anything. So, being joined on the pod by one of England’s favourite sons Ugo Monye, made the licking of wounds so much harder for the lads as they had to navigate all the salt he was rubbing into them. With Ugo in tow and chipper as hell we broke down the English tidy up at Twickenham, illuminating where the Poms were perfect and why the Aussies couldn't fire a single shot. Ugo also gave us the low down on the English public’s current feelings about their rugby team and who they absolutely hate losing to on the world stage. Plus, we ran our collective footballing IQ’s across all the other international matches that happened over the weekend, results that saw South Africa jump Japan, Scotland make light work of the USA and the All Blacks pull apart the Irish. Finally, the KOKO crew look forward to next weekend as the Wallabies shape up to take on the Italians in Udine, whilst also previewing all the other big international matches on the card. So, to all my fellow Australians, lift up your chins, raise up your voices and say something mean to your local English import. It is time to forget about last weekend’s result, move on to next week’s match and enjoy the soothing sounds of an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO show we bring it back to our roots, delivering to you a no guest nonsense pod that is packed full of smack talk, poking fun at each other's insecurities and butt load of code. To start off the lads unpack the Wallabies’ close call in Tokyo, as Eddie’s Brave Blossoms put up one hell of a fight to try and claim their first ever ‘dub’ against the might of the green and gold. However, our golden gladiators battled the elements and some sloppy execution to claim the win and our panel of pricks picked it apart to identify some work-ons before we take on the might of England. Ladies and gentlemen spring has sprung and autumn has autumned, depending on where you live, but one thing is for certain the world over its time for some tangy touring. With the Wallabies touching down in the Motherland ready to make jellied eels out of these pommy princes, the KOKO lads have put together a full ‘Spring Tour Set Up’, previewing this week's tussle at Twickenham, as well as all the other international clashes this weekend. With hemispheric denomination at stake, emotions will run high as KOKO gets well and truly behind the South to ride these suckers home and prove which semi-circle is the best at playing footy. So get jacked, don your nation's garb and ready your noble steed, because this shit is about to get real up in here and The KOKO Show is a one stop shop for all your Spring Tour silliness. It’s time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we recorded a little earlier to ensure we had time to say bon voyage to Drew and Gits before they turned left on QF 1 for a week of “work” / debauchery in the City of Love, Paris. However, before these two departed on their baguette beating adventure, we were joined by the third most capped rugby player of all time, a man that has an upper body like a Canadian Grizzly and legs like Margo Robbie from the Barbie movie, it is of course the Aussie Rugby GOAT Mr James Slipper. In this ep the lads put Slips on the hot seat, delving deep into his 151 cap career, revealing his lung busting pre-game ritual and they show him some love for what has been one of the great slogs of all time. Plus, the boys give him some sage words of advice on what not to do in retirement as this beautiful backy bastard sails seamlessly into his next chapter of life. Additionally ye KOKO faithful, we give you all the action from the Aussie A demolition job of the Japan XV in Osaka, we cover a plethora of exciting rugby news and lastly, we have another little crack at convincing you that we are actually trying to lose weight in our KOKO fitness challenge, in partnership with Whoop. All this mediocre madness and not a whole more in this week’s brand new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

his week on The KOKO Show we celebrate our first landmark achievement as a wannabe podcast. In what has been a topsy turvy 22 months, we are now part of the illustrious 100K club and it is all thanks to you the fans that we are fortunate enough to roll this shit out each week and call it a job. So, thank you and please keep supporting us on this journey! To help us celebrate this lofty showbiz achievement we are joined in the studio by one of the best young guns in Australian Rugby, he is the starting flyhalf of our resurgent Wallabies and without question the shows favourite courageous carrot top, it is of course, the one and only Tane Edmed. Merely hours after learning that he would be travelling to Japan and Europe with the Wallabies on the Spring Tour, Tane sat down with the lads to discuss his career thus far, what it is like getting lit up by Joe Schmidt and he explained the mindset of the group as they head off for what will be a cracking end of year tour. It is fair to say that this young firebrand is not just impressive on the pitch but his attitude, work ethic and innate leadership are qualities of a young rugby player that we should be proud to see don the green and gold. Plus, as a fellow Whoop wearer, Tane lets the lads in on a few trade secrets about the data you want to see and the numbers we should try to avoid as we continue to embark on our journey towards fitness immortality all thanks to our dear friends at Whoop. So sit back, relax and let the future of Australian Rugby get handsy with your soul, because this redheaded renegade will put weekly reiki and a rubdown in the rear vision mirror for good. Now, for another spoon full of sugar to make this week go down a treat, it is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show the whole gang is finally back together, Drew survived Perth, Goit is tucked away in Canberra and Swoop is done and dusted with his gruelling conference schedule. Plus, the lads are joined this week by the recently retired bow legged bad boy from Scone and one of the greatest Wallabies to ever lace them up, it is of course Mr Nic White. With Whitey in the wings the boys dissect the final round of the RC that saw the mighty Wallabies go down to the AB’s for the 11th time on the trot and the brave Boks claim a nail-bitting win over Los Pumas in London to claim their second title in as many years. In summation, this year’s RC will go down as one of the most competitive of all time and despite the stylish South Africans prevailing as the winners, all four sides will head into their spring tours buoyed with the knowledge they can beat anyone on their day. With the rugby on home soil all wrapped up for 2025, the lads turned their attention to Nic White’s career, giving the little maestro his flowers in celebration of everything he has done for rugby in Australia and they discuss what his plans are for the not too distant future. Finally, we finish the episode having a little look at the Waratahs’ big win over the Western Force in the Super Rugby AUS final, we have a deep dive into the world of R360 and to wrap it all up we share our fitness challenge progress as the silly season approaches all thanks to our dear friends at WHOOP. So sit back, relax and check your resting heart rate, because that SOB is about to go through the roof with an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we are back bigger, better and more bodacious after a much needed week off. The lads have rested their weary bodies and sharpened their footy minds in order to tackle this week's double dose of RC magic and to celebrate Mr Giteau's 43rd Birthday in style. On the show we went cover to cover on the Wallabies’ narrow loss to the All blacks at Eden Park, extending their unbeaten streak at the ‘Garden’ to 52 wins on the trot and we have a seriously deep gander at the weird and wacky result out of Durban that saw the Springboks slap the rumps of the Pumas to the tune of 67-30. Plus, the KOKO lads are joined by the Eastern Suburbs eshay and Canberra’s clippered up king Mr Tom Wright, to chat about how his ACL recovery is going, when we can expect him back on the pitch and what it was like to see James Slipper play his 150th Test Match over the weekend. With the boys getting older and the beers flowing more freely we checked back in on our KOKO Fitness Challenge to see how the lads are progressing or regressing in their goal to reach that ever elusive 10% body fat. However, thanks to our new friends at WHOOP the boys can track their journey and see in what areas they are excelling and where they need to lower the shoulders and partake in a couple of tough carries. Finally, we took some time to celebrate the mighty English Red Roses on their incredible World Cup win at Twickenham, as they took down those crazy Canadians 33-13 in some serious style. Congratulations Girls! So sit back, relax and get ready for a refreshed dose of debauchery, the boys are back with juice in the tank and love in their hearts to give you an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Start of the show 02:44 - Matt Giteau gets delivered a birthday cake 05:15 - KOKO Learnings 09:15 - KOKO Weight Loss Challenge brought to you by WHOOP 14:19 - ALL BLACKS V WALLABIES REVIEW 24:14 - Patreon shout out 26:01 - Introduce Tom Wright 27:09 - Tom Wright’s recovery 27:52 - James Slippers 150th Cap 29:00 - Tom Wright on Jorgo’s work at fullback 29:52 - The art of contested kicking 33:22 - Tom Wright on Ryan Lonergan’s debut 34:52 - Tom Wright on Billy Pollard 36:34 - Nic White is back in the squad 40:11 - Tom Wright's end of the year plans 42:58 - The KOKO Quiz 50:21 - SOUTH AFRICA V ARGENTINA REVIEW 54:56 - SUPER RUGBY AUS SCORES 56:16 - Congratulations to the English Red Roses on the RWC win 57:34 - Other Rugby News 58:48 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.com Make sure you follow us on all socials: INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us info@shtn.com.au.

This week on The KOKO Show we unshackled our chains, cut the bow lines loose and unloaded the dead weight, that is right Swoop is sick and there isn't a bloody guest within cooee of our glorious studio. Our thoughts and prayers were dispensed to a sick little boy on the couch called Swoop, whether it is the spring time sniffles, his hayfever ramping up or two cracking nights on the lash, a sick little puppy is a sick little puppy. Despite being down one of our valuable foot soldiers, Matt Giteau, Drew Mitchell and The Prof really stepped up to the plate and took some ‘big ole’ swings at analysing this topsy turvy, curly wurly and herky jerky RC competition. The lads cast their educated eyes over all the ra ra action from across the weekend, shedding light on how the Wallabies were a pack of naughty boys against the Pumas in Sydney and how the All Blacks got slapped silly in record setting style by the surging Springboks. Moreover, the boys armed with their footy IQ’s and a belly full of beer threw the proverbial leg over all the possible RC machinations in the hope of finding some clarity in this Even Steven season. Plus, we say farewell to the valiant Wallaroos from the 2025 Rugby World Cup, applauding their efforts and achievements in reaching the quarter-finals and showcasing the progress women's rugby has seen both on the pitch and in the stands. Congratulations girls, we couldn't be more proud! Finally, our Swoopless trio of heroes had a little look at the Super Rugby AUS matches from the weekend, expressing their highlights and low lights from the two matches that showcased the next generation of Aussie stars. It is clear due to the mercury rising that spring is springing and souls are singing for some of that rock hard Aussie vitamin D. So kick off your well oiled Chelsea boots and slide on those Positano purchased driving loafers, it is time for an all new episode of Kick Off and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by three whopping guests, that is right we are bringing you a smorgasbord of footy talent that can only be found on a podcast hosted by three Wallabies has-beens and one footy wannabe. With the RC completing its third lap around the sun the boys are joined by everyone's favourite moustachioed mountain big Willy Skelton to chat about the Wallabies massive comeback against Los Pumas, as well as the Boks coming up short at Eden Park against the All Blacks. Plus, big Willy gives us an exclusive scoop as to whether or not this large lump of loveable energy is available for selection when the Bledisloe Cup comes around. As the RC hits its midway point the results have never been closer and the stakes have never been higher, thus the KOKO lads unpack all the machinations that could possibly unfold in what is shaping up to be a magical final three matches. Plus, we are joined all the way from Brighton by two of the best Wallaroos that have ever laced them up. Both of these ladies are part of the fantastically fabulous 40 Cap club and they are both playing in their third World Cup, so please welcome the formidable pairing of Ashley Marsters and Trilleen Pomare. As the Wallaroos head into their Quarter-Final match-up against the clinical Canadians the girls shed some light on what it will take to beat the 2nd best team in the world and progress even further into the tournament. Plus, Ash and Trill have a little bone to pick with the Royal Family as a certain majesty had a little more time for the rampant Roses compared to our wonderful Wallaroos. With that all being said, it is time to practice your bow and work on your curtsey, as we serve up a new King sized episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads get down and dirty with their ‘ra ra’ previews this week, as they wine, dine and come off the pine for the upcoming third round of The ‘RC’. With all four nations sitting on one win each, this year’s ‘RC’ is as tight as a mouse’s waistcoat and it is anyone's for the taking. Thus, to summarize the upcoming weekend of footy frivolities, the Wallabies are in their “Building phase” and taking on Los Pumas who are in their “Record Breaking Phase”. Whilst those crafty Springboks are in their “no longer world number 1 phase” and are hoping to break an 88-year hoodoo at Eden Park against the All Blacks who are in their “our local community hates us again” phase, so as the classics say, rugby will be the real winner. Moreover, the fellas once again set alight their competitive spirits as they ‘mano a mano a mano’ in an Argentinian flavoured KOKO Quiz. Plus, we are joined by Wallaroos enforcer, lineout specialist, veterinary physio and most importantly the latest member to join the 40 cap club, the one and only Vi-queen Michaela Leonard. The lads with Michaela in tow unpacked all the happenings from the Women’s RWC in England, focussing on the Wallaroos’ draw with the USA and what the girls have to do against England to clinch that last finals spot. With the whole nation at their backs the Wallaroos have highlighted that a fast start, brutal defence and quietening the crowd is the secret sauce needed to take down the world number one English Roses on their own turf. So rise up Australia and get behind the Wallaroos as they fight for the final spot in the quarter-finals this weekend. So, sit back, relax, kick off your pristine RM’s and take a double dose of your gout medicine, this episode is going to be as fun as 4am finish at your favourite watering hole. It’s time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we deliver you some serious double trouble in the guest department, as we are joined by Italian Centurion Martin Castrogiovanni live in the studio and all the way from Manchester the Wallaroos swiss army knife Lori Cramer gets up early to talk some shop. The big, bold and extremely beautiful Castrogiovanni shakes off the effects of ‘Fiji Time’ to join the lads live on set and chat about the Boks bouncing back in Cape Town over the Wallabies and how the ‘Win’ Pumas created history knocking off the All Blacks for the first time on home soil. However, when Castro is in your presence it isn’t all fun filled frivolities about footy, this former tight headed loose unit has had a colourful career, filled with funny yarns, huge fines and kick ass parties. So get ready to laugh your finest Italian Merino socks off, because this larger than life long haired larikin really blows the bloody doors off. Plus, all the way from sunny old ‘Mancs’ Lori Cramer jumps online to discuss the Wallaroos’ smash up job of Samoa in match one of the RWC, as well as how the girls are shaping up to take on the foe adorned in stars and stripes, the USA in match two. She opens up about what life is like in camp, the pressures surrounding a good World Cup run, as well as admitting to the fact that she might actually be the Drew Mitchell of the Wallaroos squad. So ladies and gentlemen, sit back, relax and enjoy the KOKO ride, because this old chestnut takes some tangy twists and turns. It is time for an all new ep of Kicks Off and Kicks Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we have two very special guests that top and tail this groundbreaking episode. To start off, the lads are joined by one of the most prominent voices in South African rugby, a man that has played 9 tests for the Springboks and from all reports he does his best work at altitude, it is of course Mr Hanyani ‘Shimmy’ Shimange. Whilst Shimmy was stuffing his face with humble pie, the lads discussed the Wallabies’ historic win at Ellis Park over the World Champion Springboks, breaking down how it happened from 22-5 down and where it all went wrong for the shell-shocked home side. The boys looked at individual moments, plays and performances that shaped this drought breaking win, whilst also looking forward to this week’s match in Cape Town and what we can expect to see from this wounded Springboks side. Plus, when all the gloating and yahooing quietened down we eventually moved on to cover the other TRC result from the weekend, which saw the mighty All Blacks server up some seriously fast footy to take down Los Pumas 41-24 in Cordoba. With week one of the TRC in the books, it is fair to say this Wallabies team has shocked the rugby world, but here at KOKO we told you this ‘Schmidt’ was going to happen. To continue this groundbreaking piece of podcasting history we are joined by Wallaroos enforcer and metre eating sensation Bree-Anna Browne. She joined us from the Wallaroos’ World Cup camp in Manchester to spill all the tea on what their tournament prep is looking like and how training is going before game one against Samoa. The KOKO Show along with Australia are throwing all their love and support behind the ‘Gals in Gold’ and here is hoping they shake things up at RWC2025. So sit back, relax and adorn those beautiful faces with pore clogging face paint, this week we are eating, drinking and sleeping all things green and gold. In conclusion we just want to say “stand up Australia” it is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads are joined by the newest inductee into the World Rugby Hall of Fame, a man that has played over 80 games for the Wallabies, has won a Lions Series and has lifted ‘Bill’ above his beautifully sculpted head. He is one the best Aussies to ever do it, so please welcome Mr 172…Matt Burke. With the Lions Tour well and truly in the rear vision mirror the lads with Burkey’s help are turning their attention to the TRC, which is kicking off this weekend with the Wallabies taking on the Springboks and the Pumas hosting the All Blacks. We have always said that the TRC is the south’s version of the Six Nations, just with bigger players and better footy…jokes of course. Thus, the fellas set out to give you a full preview of this upcoming succulent feast of fast paced rugby, with squads, tips and smoking hot talking points. The boys also get around to addressing some of the news sweeping the Rugby Union landscape this week, but none bigger than Australia’s own Matt Burke getting himself a funny little hat, a cancelled trip to Monaco and having his Hall of Fame presentation in torrential rain at Homebush. Thanks to our dear friends at Budgy Smuggler you will notice the boys are draped in the finest Wallabies pyjamas and looking the part on a set overlooking the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but fear not our fearless fans we might be in a new location but we guarantee the same old shit. So sit back, relax and pour yourself a crisp white from the Napa Valley, it’s time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the lad’s souls are bent but most certainly not broken. After eight weeks of touring alongside the Lions, KOKO has returned home to bind their wounds and rebuild for what is going to be an exciting Rugby Championship. Thanks to our dear friends at Guinness we break down Test Match three in our ‘Perfect Pour’ segment and the lads celebrate the fact that this young Australian team are building to something special with a home World Cup on the horizon in 2027. The fellas looked in every nook and cranny from Saturday night's game and they have determined that the Lions are worthy winners of the 2025 series, however, they opened up both barrels on all the pundits that claimed it wouldn't be worth touring to Australia and that Wallabies are not worthy foe… How do you like us now? So as we put a tidy little bow on this record breaking series, bathe in Wallabies glory and get a new script for Doxycycline from our GPs, the lads turn their attention to the TRC and how this young Aussie side will go against the other Southern Hemisphere juggernauts in only a matter of weeks. So sit back, relax and wave goodbye to the sea of red, congratulations on the series win but please politely leave this country that you sent us to and don't come back for another 12 or so years… only kidding. Sorry we got carried away. It is now time for a buoyant and happy episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads try and pick up the pieces after experiencing what was an emotional weekend for Aussie rugby fans in Melbourne. If you have been living under a rock, the Wallabies were pipped at the post on Saturday by a resurgent Lions team that claimed a big series win 2-0 at the MCG. Despite being heartbroken and frustrated with the result the KOKO lads paint on a pretty smile and give you a full review of what happened at the ‘G’ in Guinness’ ‘Perfect Pour’ segment and they reiterate just how important it is for the Wallabies to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and show up big in Sydney. The lads are joined by one of the greatest to ever do it in George Gregan and they discuss how the series might be done but the ability to keep writing this resurgent Aussie rugby narrative is well and truly still on track. With George’s rugby mind overflowing with brilliance the KOKO Crew dive deep into the psyche of a champion to see where he believes Aussie rugby is at and where it needs to go. So, sit back, relax and tip your cap to the Lions, they deserve our respect. It is time for an all new yet slightly sorrowful episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

The fellas have a little look at moments from the game that saw the British and Irish Lions claim a famous series victory after trailing by as much as 18 points throughout the match. To round out the review, the lads talk about the heart and effort shown across the board by both sides and they illuminate the positive green shoots of potential that the Wallabies have shown over the past two weeks.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads use the warmth of mateship and connection to repair their wounds sustained in Bris-Vegas, we mend, we grow and we do it all again in Melbourne. As you all know, 52,500 screaming fans took to Brisbane last week in the hope that their side would take the choccys in the first match of the Test Series. The KOKO crew use this episode to unpack all the action from the Lion’s dominant win over the Wallabies, a match that saw the touring team take the result out of the hosts hands in the first 40 mins. The boys pontificate on possible coaching changes in game two, as well as the Wallabies remaining focused on sticking to a gameplan and working on execution rather than rediscovery. As the Melbourne match edges itself into focus, the ‘G’ explodes into raptures and the Wallabies' destiny hangs by a thread. It is time for the Wallabies to stand up and make this one count. It’s time to re-adjust the current take on Australian Rugby and it is time for another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

The fellas have a little look at moments from the game that were turning points in the series opener, as well as certain officiating decisions that hampered the game for both sides in the contest. To round out the review, the lads look forward to next Saturday where these two teams head to the 'Grand Old Lady' (MCG) either for the Lions to claim a dominant series win or for the mighty Wallabies to square the ledger.

This week on the KOKO Show we come to you from the glorious confines of the MJ Bale flagship store in Martin Place, Sydney. The lads are dressed to impress with some silky threads that lift the spirits and allow the human form to podcast like they have never podcasted before, all thanks to MJ Bale. We have arrived ladies and gentlemen, the first Test Match between the Lions and the Wallabies is soon upon us and the KOKO Crew couldn't be more up and about at the prospect of two great teams doing battle at Suncorp Stadium. To help us along this joyous journey, we have enlisted the help of two very special guests. The first has played over 90 caps for Wales and he was one of the brave men that took down the Wallabies in 2013, it is none other than Dr Jamie Roberts and the other is triple international, cross-code footy legend and rugby media’s leading lady Allana Ferguson. Jamie joins the lads for the first half of the show to muse and discuss how both sides will shape up and prepare this week leading into the first Test. We discuss potential tactics, predicted sides and what the Lions will do to navigate this growing laundry list of injured players. Plus, ‘The King’ sticks around to give us his ‘Perfect Pour’ from the weekend just gone, all thanks to our headline sponsor Guinness, as well as playing a little game of ‘Which Lion Was it Anyway?’ We have always said, when one guest leaves you replace them with someone better. Step to the fore Allana Ferguson. All thanks to our great friends at TAB, Allana joined the show to crunch the odds heading into the first Test Match this Saturday in Brisbane. Plus, she unleashes her depth of knowledge to give us a full wrap of the Wallaroos’ encouraging loss to the Black Ferns in Wellington and how the ladies are shaping up with the Rugby World Cup on the horizon this August. So in summation, it is time to bloody lock in. We have waited 12 long years to get our chance at revenge against this crimson clad gaggle of geezers and let’s not let this one slide. They have taken over our beaches, booked up our restaurants and are smugly drinking our beer. But they will never take our podcast! It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we are joined in the studio by great mate of the pod, Japanese rugby’s hunkiest half and Wallabies legend, Mr Bernard “The IceMan' Foley. The Nard Dog along with the KOKO Crew go really deep on the Wallabies’ last gasp win over the Flying Fijians in Newcastle, as well as breaking down the Lions’ hard fought victory over the gallant Waratahs in an all new serving of the ‘Perfect Pour’ thanks to our headline sponsor Guinness. Plus, the guys get caught up in the beauty of numbers as they preview all the upcoming matches on the British and Irish Lions Tour, focusing heavily on the Lions’ clash with the Brumbies this Wednesday all thanks to our great mates at TAB. If you thought to yourself, that just doesn't seem to be enough footy for my liking, we also run you through the AUNZ Invitational XV that will take on the Lions this Saturday and the guys mount a case about how this star-studded roster might be the team to tame these freckle faced felines. Finally, to round out this pleasure packed pod of production perfection we couldn't help but bring back a second instalment of the highly anticipated game that is sweeping the nation 'Which Lion Was It Anyway?’ So, sit back, relax, pour yourself an ice cold Guinness and please avoid any large groups of Lions fans. To paraphrase one of the greatest movies of all time ‘Cool Runnings’ - ‘Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up! It’s almost Test Match time’. Ladies and gentlemen please enjoy the latest episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we thought to ourselves it is time for a little trip back to ‘No Guest Nonsense Land’, the second happiest place on earth, a place where the boys who sit on the couch week in and week out can truly shine and are at full liberty to derail this podcast if they see fit. Thanks to our fantastic headline sponsor Guinness we are going full throttle throughout this British and Irish Lions Tour and they are making sure you, our loyal fans are coming on this journey with us. In this week’s episode the lads cover more footy than you can poke a bloody stick at, we hit you with a brand new rendition of Guinness’ ‘Perfect Pour’ from the Lions v Force match, we chit chat about the demolition job South Africa inflicted on the Barbarians, we look forward to the Reds v Lions thanks to TAB and finally we preview the Wallabies v Fiji in Newcastle. As the weather gets colder the footy is getting hotter, we are now entering the eye of the Lions storm and the lads at KOKO couldn't be happier to bare knuckle box their way through all the x’s and o’s to keep ye KOKO faithful well informed. We have reviewed and previewed everything the light touches this week and to finish we bring you a brand new game called ‘Which Lion Was It Anyway?’ and let's just say the boys get a little competitive. So sit back, relax and have some fun watching their feline furries take over our island home.

This week on The KOKO Show the sirens have sounded and from all reports the enemy is well and truly at the gates. That is right the British and Irish Lions have arrived on our shores after getting their pantaloons and long socks ripped up by the pouncing ‘Win Pumas’ in Dublin. Thanks to our new headline sponsor Guinness, we are bringing people together through the love of sport, as we debut our brand new segment ‘The Perfect Pour’. Plus, thanks to our dear friends at MJ Bale the KOKO lads are looking on point, as we show those Northern nobody's that us Aussies can scrub up just fine, because if you look good, you feel good and then you can pod good. Plus, Ladies and Gentlemen as we nestle up nice and close on the eve of the Lions Series, we decided to roll in one of Australia’s big guns as this week's very special guest. This fella was side by side with our very own Swoop as the Wallabies went nose to tail with the Lions in 2013, he has played over 100 tests for the Wallabies and people would pay good money to crouch, touch, pause and engage with this beautiful big rig. It is of course the large engine that will and has, Mr Sekope Kepu. With Keps in tow the lads fine tooth comb the upcoming series, they gauge his excitement about coaching against the Lions and we get a myriad of A-grade stories that paint our guys in some interesting lights. Finally, the KOKO Crew breaks down the Super Rugby Final, which saw the mighty Crusaders rise to the top of Southern Hemisphere rugby once again to claim their thirteenth title over the table topping Chiefs. In addition to that, we dissect the Wallabies squad that has been announced to take on Fiji in July, as we talk ins, outs and everything in between. So sit back, relax and deadbolt your doors, the Lions and their fanatics have arrived on our shores. It is time for another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads serve up a big old bowl of rugby flavoured frosted flakes, regaling tales of the tape from the South to the North and everywhere in between. To help us on this journey as the enemy creeps ever closer to our shores, we are pleased to unveil our new major sponsor for The Lions Tour, it is the one and only, delightfully delicious and surprisingly refreshing Guinness. With Guinness being the unofficial beer of rugby fans around the world, it is fitting they have partnered with us, as we are unanimously the unofficial podcast of rugby fans in all the galaxies. Moreover, the mighty KOKO Show has not only landed a blue-chip sponsor, but this week we are joined by a blue-chip guest. Swoop has once again put the rubber on the road and lured in one of rugby’s dead set supernaturals. This fella has played 17 tests for the All Blacks as a player, but he truly found his calling in the coaching ranks, winning 3 World Cups and 4 Super Rugby titles; we think it is fair to say this bloke knows his x’s and o’s. It is of course the Oracle of New Zealand rugby and the ‘real’ Professor of everything awesome, Sir Wayne Smith. With Wayne in tow the lads dove deep into the world of coaching, touching on what makes great coaches tick, how coaches can get the best out of their cattle and who he thinks will win the Lions Series based on style and structure. Plus, we wrap up the Superb Rugby semi-finals, the lads gander at the URC and Premiership Grand Finals and finally we look at the British and Irish Lions Series Winner odds powered by our dear friends at TAB. The lads then round out the show by locking in some more hungry ‘Lion Tamers’ and running through our laundry list of Live Shows that are happening in each and every city. So sit back, relax and pour yourself a fresh juicy Guinness, this one will most certainly hit different. It is time now for the newest episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Start of the show 06:30 - Announcement that Guinness is our Major Sponsor for The Lions Tour 08:52 - Welcome Wayne Smith to the show 12:40 - What is Wayne doing now? 13:18 - Wayne on coaching Swoop in Japan 18:07 - Wayne predicts the Super Rugby winner 21:32 - Wayne on how the Wallabies should play 26:21 - Wayne is a student of the game 34:05 - Wayne talks about the Lions Series 36:19 - Bench, Start and Drop 40:20 - Wayne’s Lions Series Prediction 42:34 - How was everyone's weekend? 50:13 - KOKO Live Show at Felons Barrel Hall in Brisbane 51:49 - Rugby Round Up Segment 51:58 - CRUSADERS V BLUES REVIEW 53:40 - CHIEFS V BRUMBIES REVIEW 58:54 - LEINSTER V BULL REVIEW 01:01:59 - BATH V LEICESTER REVIEW 01:07:29 - TOP 14 SEMI FINAL PREVIEWS 01:08:22 - TAB Sponsored Segment 01:10:46 - The Lion Tamers 01:14:58 - KOKO Live Show at the West Bulldogs in Brisbane 01:16:00 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.com LIVE SHOWS: Brisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Felons Barrel Hall https://www.sevenrooms.com/x1pJ8HnM Brisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Wests Bulldogs https://www.trybooking.com/DCHAW Make sure you follow us on all socials: INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us info@shtn.com.au.

We tackle all the action of the Super Rugby Qualifying Finals, whilst also looking forward to the seismically sensational Semi-Finals this coming weekend. Plus, we get a little naughty up North for all the footy loving legends on the more populous side of the Equator, breaking down all the Champagne rugby from the URC and Premiership Semi-Finals. To help us on our journey towards podcasting perfection, we enlisted the help of one of the greatest finishers of all time to dot this episode over the white line and claim victory for the good guys. This Fijian born South Auckland raised wrecking ball made a career out of cashing cheques and snapping necks as he ran past you at a rate of knots, please welcome the swan-diving sensation that is Mr Joe Rokocoko. With Joe in tow the lads reflect on his sublime 98 Test Match career, the times he made all three of them look like chumps and what it actually takes to be one of the best wingers the rugby world has ever seen. To cap off this tremendous trot down the wingers walk of fame the lads finalise a few more selections in our table topping team of ‘Lion Tamers’. Moreover, they have a greasy little gander at some hot off the press ‘Other Rugby News’, all in the name of keeping you, our loyal listener well informed.

This week on The KOKO Show we have landed the biggest name in World Rugby. She has represented the USA at over 30 international Sevens Tournaments, won an Olympic medal and now she is doing her thing in the 15’s game in preparation for this year’s Rugby World Cup. Although her feats on the footy field are something to marvel at, it is her work off it that has further elevated her profile into superstardom. She is an authentic pioneer for women’s sport the world over, a total badass in the body positivity space and a media mogul in every sense of the title. It is of course the one and only Ilona Maher. The KOKO Crew with Ilona in tow discussed in depth what it was like growing up in Vermont, having success at the Olympic Games, sharing her messages of female empowerment and what is next for Ilona Maher after the 2025 Rugby World Cup. A chat that not only delves into the wins she has had on the rugby pitch, but an in depth look into the hard work and perseverance of a person that has taken the rugby world by storm and made it better. Plus, the lads give you a full set of takeaways from round 14 of the Superb Rugby and the Wallaroos’ big win over the USA in Canberra. Moreover, we have a little gander at all the big talking points from the global rugby landscape in ‘Other Rugby News’, before locking in four more ‘Lion Tamers’ in our Aussie squad to take down those British and Irish bad boys. So, sit back and relax as we take a moment to marvel in the majesty of Ilona Maher, a person that has changed our game for good and will continue to put the Bae in Rug-Bae.

This week on The KOKO Show we have an absolutely smashing episode for you all. The lads are joined by the two Aussie British and Irish Lions Tourees, Mr Mack ‘Daddy’ Hansen and Mr Sione ‘The Scot’ Tuipulotu. We broke down with the boys, what it felt like to join this illustrious club, where they were when they got the news and which Australian watering holes they will be attending alongside their band of bad losers. Plus, we analysed and dissected the complete 2025 British and Irish Lions Squad with a fine tooth comb, as we tried to poke holes in their approach, highlight their weaknesses and work out how the Wallabies will win the series 3-0. Moreover, with all this hubbub about a certain red army approaching our shores, it would be easy to lose sight of all the cracking footy action happening right here in Australia and New Zealand. That is right, fear not our soggy and sodden Southern Hemisphere heroes, this week we give you all the major takeaways from round 13 of the Superb Rugby, the highs and lows of the Wallaroos’ Pac 4 campaign and a smattering of juicy rugby news from around the world. Finally, the KOKO Crew are back to work hitting the whiteboards and breathing in the sweet nectar of alcohol based cleaning products in the hope of constructing an Aussie squad akin to the ‘Locked in Lions’, that we are calling ‘The Lion Tamers’. The fellas will be picking four Australian players each week to join the noble ranks of ‘The Lion Tamers’, with the sole ambition of crushing these pompous touring tea tossers. So, sit back, relax and steep your brew with the highly dysfunctional KOKO Crew. It is time for episode 21 of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads were plagued with a serious case of Les Kiss fever, but they didn't seem to be that phased by this particular ailment, as they delivered a wall to wall recap of the week that was in World Rugby. Firstly, the boys addressed the new appointment of Les Kiss as the next Wallabies coach, a decision that buoyed the boys and got them all a little hot under the saddle blanket for the future of Australian Rugby. To help the fellas through the ups and downs of Les Kiss fever, we enlisted a very special guest to add some much needed star power to our very pedestrian weekly production. That is right, this week we are joined by the Frankston firecracker, Melbourne’s man of marble and now Glasgow’s benevolent bulldozer. So, please welcome Scotland’s captain and Australia’s one that got away, Mr Sione Tuipulotu. Sione and the lads chewed the fat about all things footy, from what it was like leaving Australia for Scotland, his recovery from a peck injury and what it would feel like to be given the honour to play for the British and Irish Lions. Finally, the crew give you their tangy yet tasteful takeaways from the week of rugby, touching on week 12 of the Superb season, the Wallaroos’ big win over Fiji and all the action from the European Champions Cup Semi-Finals. Lastly, to put a big fat bow on what has been a constant segment for the show all year, the lads finally cement their lucky 37 as we finalise our squad of Locked In Lions. So knock back a couple of downers, put on your compression socks and talk shit to your flight attendant, this metal bird is taking to the skies and boy it is going to be a bumpy fucking ride. It is time for an all new Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the boys regroup after a big ANZAC Weekend and they reflect on all the magnificent footy that was played in round 11 of the Superb Rugby, whilst also looking forward to the final five weeks of the season and predicting which team will come out on top. In a weekend where the Brumbies had a stumble, the Reds caught fire, the Savea brothers kicked ass and the Chiefs still reigned supreme, the lads had their work cut out for them, as they tried to make sense of this topsy turvy 2025 season. To round out this robust rugby recap the lads debuted a new segment called ‘The Transfer Tracker’, where the boys gave their immediate reactions and dissections to all of the big player moves both in Australian Rugby and around the world. That’s right the KOKO Crew is giving you a big old ‘RA RA’ wrap to fill up your Ozempic tainted tummies and of course, we always wash it down with a pint of our finest ice cold shit talk. Plus, Ladies and Gents that is not all, to add some much needed credibility to this rumbling bumbling poor excuse of a podcast, the lads enlisted the help of the best number 10 in Australia. No, it isn’t Noah Lolesio, nor is it Lawson Creighton and we couldn’t make Tommy Lynagh’s monetary deal, so in reflection we got what we got. Nonetheless please welcome the hairiest handler of balls in the business, it is the one and only Mr Ben Donaldson. Moreover, Benny takes us through why the Force are fighting for every inch in 2025, what he really thinks of Carlo Tizzano and how excited he is about hopefully taking on the British and Irish Lions this year. So sit back, relax, elevate your gout riddled feet, peel a couple of leftover choccy eggs and suck back on an ice cold Crown Lager. It is time to get fancy as f#*k and tune into an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we celebrated the Easter Break with a rip snorter of an episode that really rolled the stone away and allowed the lads to sink their teeth into a wonderful weekend filled with choccy eggs and fantastic friggin footy. The boys get down and dirty hunting for all the little bits and bobs from the Women’s Super Rugby Champions Final that saw the Blues defeat the Waratahs, they got stuck into week 10 of the Superb Rugby as we head into the final couple of months and finally they fastened down the last three ‘Locked in Lions’ on our very special whiteboard. Plus, it wouldn't be an Easter special without a guest that somewhat resembles a delicious little Lindt Ball, so we brought in Canberra’s really bad bunny and one of our favourite bucking Brumbies, Mr Billy ‘found love in a hopeless place’ Pollard. With Billy in tow we dissect how the Brumbies are bulldozing their way into finals contention, his desire to play a big part in the upcoming Lions Series and why James Slipper has become a bit of a bully in his twilight years. So pop on your bunny ears, fluff up that cotton tail and put yourself in a compromising yet sexy position on the kitchen table. It is time to be a raunchy little rabbit this Easter, whilst enjoying the latest episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons. You are most welcome our chummy yummy bunnies!

This week on The KOKO Show we get our Swoopy back from his impromptu golfing trips to make the group whole again as we break down a wonderful week that was in the world of rugby. The lads came together to run a fine tooth comb through the Super Rugby W Final that saw the Tahs tackle the Reds at North Sydney Oval, to make it back to back chips in 2024 and 25. Plus, we go large on round 9 of the Superb Rugby Pacific, highlighting the Brumbies big win over the Reds, the Tahs toppling the challenging Chiefs and the Crusaders taking their rightful place back on top of the Super ladder. Moreover, the boys go full business mode as they tackle all the hard hitting topics in a saucy smattering of Other Rugby News. However, the highlight of Episode 17 has to be our very special guest, all the way from the fortified walls of Edinburgh Castle with his new Whiskey in hand and donning a gorgeously snug pair of togs, it is Scotland’s South African chunky chappy Mr Pierre Schoeman. We discuss everything from the state of rugby north of the wall, what it was like growing up in South Africa and now proudly playing for Scotland and finally his delicious little side business he shares with teammate and friend Duhan van der Merwe. So sit back, relax and hook up your IV drip full of Hirundine Whiskey and just let those mellow smokey notes of four flogs trying to make a rugby pod fill your gills with glee. Because it is time for episode 17 of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the boys are dealing with some post Hong Kong hardships and Swoop forgot to tell us that he was off to NZ to play golf. However, the remaining members of our merry band go in deep and dark to tackle the world of footy as we look at the Superb Rugby, Superb W, the Singapore Sevens and Drew has a bone to pick with the European Champions Cup in a brand new ‘What's Drewing?’. Plus, we are joined by one of Australia's best young backrowers, a man that is making the Brumbies buck in 2025 with his ample sized Bathurst born body, please enjoy our time with Mr Tom Hooper. With Tommy in toe we discuss everything from his fine form in the Superb Rugby, his aspirations of playing in the Lions Series and all the way through to his impending exodus to Exeter. Lastly, we jot down a few more of our lucky ‘Lock in Lions’ and as the list is getting more full by the day there might have to be a small KOKO cull in the coming weeks, before the lads release their finalized squad officially. So throw down a six-pack of dim sum to lift the energy levels and shake your hips like you are the only person having a go in Wan Chi, it is time for a heart stopping body popping episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

As advertised, the KOKO Crew took on the Hong Kong Sevens for the second year in a row and some people doubted our commitment to the cause, but let the record show we came, we saw and we most certainly survived. Thanks to the Discover Hong Kong (Hong Kong Tourism Board), Cathay Pacific and Ovolo Hotels for giving the show another phenomenal experience of lifetime. This tour will most certainly go down in the KOKO history books as a rip roaring success, we went to the Hong Kong Football Club for a night of laughs with Jim Hamilton and Andy Goode, had a day of childish laughs on the rides at Ocean Park Hong Kong, enjoyed some delicious food With Virginia Chan, took in sights and sounds of the Pottinger Street Market and we soaked up all the seriously spicy rugby action from the 10s and the 7s across the week. With the Hong Kong Sevens entering a new era at the sleek, sparkling and simply sensational Kai Tak Sports Park the balance between nostalgia and reinvention was perfectly on point. Due to the allure of the all new Hong Kong Sevens, throughout the weekend, the boys were joined by an array of rugby royalty including Bryan Habana, Alicia Quirk, Jamie Roberts and the aforementioned ‘Big Jim and Goodey’. Plus, we were allowed into the bowels of Kai Tak Stadium to see how the teams prepare in their brand new digs and we cap off the episode with a dash of debauchery, in our newest instalment of the ‘KOKO Carnage’. This show is the perfect blend of naughty and nice, showcasing the eternal struggle of which side will come out on top. However, ladies and gentlemen the answer is simple, KOKO always finishes on top. For another year the beauty and vibrancy of Hong Kong is regrettably now in the rear vision mirror, but as we build through 2025 and navigate the British and Irish Lions as well as all the other international fixtures around the world, this little pod will always have one eye on the ‘Pearl of the Orient’. So sit back, relax, deactivate the secret Airtags you had on your loved ones who attended the Sevens (in our case Holiday Swoop) and simply revel in the beauty that is KOKO on tour. We present Kick Offs and Kick Ons the Hong Kong Experience. TIMECODES: 00:00 - Start of the show 01:09 - Recap of the week in Hong Kong 03:02 - Interview with Jim Hamilton and Andy Goode 26:13 - Talking about the Hong Kong 10’s and celebrity touch football 27:56 - Drew’s birthday celebrations 29:10 - Hong Kong Ocean Park 31:00 - KOKO’s basketball session 32:04 - HSBC touch footy day 33:57 - Alicia Quirk Interview 37:20 - KOKO in the South Stand 38:30 - Hong Kong Sevens Predictions and the tournament in general 41:32 - Super Rugby Round Up Segment 48:43 - Les Kiss and the unfilled Wallabies coaching job 51:05 - Super W Scores 53:06 - Bryan Habana Interview 01:07:02 - The Lions Coaching Staff 01:08:30 - Tour awards 01:09:20 - Thanks to Discover Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific, Ovolo Hotels and Virginia Chan 01:11:28 - KOKO website and socials Hosted on Acast.

This week on The KOKO Show the guys are gearing up for another round of slaying the dragon in Hong Kong. They are fired up to rock the Hong Kong Sevens to its core, having said that blind Freddy could see the air of apprehension and fear pouring off the fellas. There will be stories told, lessons learnt and fun to be had, the lads will be galvanised once again on the road to podcasting superstardom. Plus, the boys sink their teeth into round 6 of the Superb Rugby giving you all their glitzy and glamorous ‘Top Takeaways’ from the week that was in the world of ‘ra ra’. With all four Aussie teams sitting pretty in the top six of the Super Rugby ladder spirits are high and the egos are sufficiently inflated across the panel. Moreover, the lads spend some time thanking the beautiful people of Forbes for their love and support at the Forbes Rugby Presidents Lunch, where KOKO really cranked up the energy in support for country sport and grassroots footy. Finally, the lads select some more sorry sods in their Locked In Lions to take on the Wallabies in July and August. So crack open your fortune cookie, read the message and take a sip of your tea, as our little show goes one on one with Hong Kong and will most likely come out second best.

Plus, our beautiful battlers are joined by a very special guest this week, he was one of the Wallabies most impactful players in 2024 and this year for the Brumbies he is stealing the show. Please welcome the rugby union renegade who is waxed from top to toe and lasered everywhere in between, he is the hairless boy wonder and friend of the show Mr Tom Wright. The lads get down and dirty with Tom Wright, talking about the Brumbies in 2025, his personal growth at the international level and why his very own brother dropped him in Fantasy Super Rugby. Finally, the KOKO Crew give you their ‘ Top 5 Takeaways’ from week five of the Superb Rugby competition, as well as honouring a brand new batch of ‘Locked In Lions’.

For your second psychological stroking by Dr KOKO this week, we have brought in a very special guest to help break down all your emotional walls and to peer deeply in the rubble of your hearts. That is right, this week the lads are joined by the slickest speedster in Sydney, a Tah that tallies tries quicker than Swoop sucks back a slippery nipple, it is of course the Wallabies very hungry Viking Mr Max Jorgensen.

Plus, the lads get their pretty little paws dirty previewing round 5 of the Super Rugby, placing their picks for the final flash of Six Nations footy and once again they lock in some more lucky Lions.

This week on The KOKO Show we put all our shit aside and moved footy to the fore, breaking down all the round 4 action from both the Superb Rugby and Six Nations. The lads can't resist hooping and hollering at the hot throbbing product that is Super Rugby Pacific 2025, as they discuss a week of footy that was packed full of upstarts, uprisings and upsets. Within our new segment ‘KOKO’s Top 5 Takeaways’ the crew highlights how the Waratahs have found their fire, the Brumbies have built themselves a backbone and just how beautiful a weekend is when only one Kiwi team wins. Plus, these pheromone sodden phenoms take a little walk on the wild side as they unpack all the action from up north in the ‘Six Nations Summation’, bringing light to the fearless French, interrogating the incompetent Irish and somewhat extinguishing the excitable English. Moreover, with only one round left in the greatest rugby competition in the world, the boys have a little look and spirited debate about who holds poll position heading into their final 80 minutes. Lastly, we are joined briefly by the Aussie breaker of English hearts and Waratahs young gun Mr Max Jorgensen (full interview on Thursday) for a little chinwag about his red hot form in Super Rugby and the guys get down and dirty as they immerse themselves in a Quiz. So, throw the kids on the ipad, leave everything in the sink, pop a couple xannies and melt into your well weathered lazy-boy, it’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

The second episode you lucky bastards get to sink your teeth into this week will go down in KOKO show history as a ‘Hall Of Fame’ show on every possible level. We are joined by Rugby Australia’s little engine that can and will, a back rower that tackles like he has rabies and banters beyond his years. Please enjoy the ‘Pest from the West’, the headcase from Hale and the undisputed ‘Peoples Champ’, it is the one and only Carlo Tizzano. This young thoroughbred spends 45 of the best minutes with us talking about the Force in 2025, the upcoming Lions Series, his beef with England’s Tom Curry and the benefits of sleeping with mouth tape on. Plus, Carlo sticks around to preview all the footy coming up this weekend in both the Super Rugby and the penultimate round of the Six Nations.

In this week’s first spoonful of The KOKO Show you all get treated to a tasty charcuterie board of fine footy yummies. This week the lads decided to do the ‘Superb Rugby Roundup’ a little differently, instead of winding their way through every game one by one, they decided to tackle another cracking week of domestic footy by illuminating their ‘Top 5 Talking points’. Moreover, with this new found angle and creative direction, the fellas have conjured up some of the best and most beautiful rugby punditry money can buy, as they deep dive on how all the Aussie teams are shaping up after three weeks, as well as establishing a mutual agreement that no Super Rugby team has hit their straps just yet. Plus, after the boys clean themselves up from that sensual Super Rugby session of common sense, they add to their tally of ‘Locked in Lions’ and finally they finish with a truly edge of your seat installment of the KOKO Quiz. So sheer your sheep, milk those cows and collect the eggs, because Old MacDonald has a fucking good podcast for you to listen to. It is time for episode nine of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show our first instalment is jam packed wall to wall with the game they play in heaven as we break down all the action from across the Six Nations and Super Rugby. With so much ‘ra ra’ to rummage through we thought it would be sensible to enlist a very special guest to make sense of it all. Our guest this week is such a big deal in the world of rugby the fact he is on our dinky little show either means there was an administrative error or he is just straight up crazy. This fella is without a doubt one of the best number 10’s in the world, he hates an untidy house, his favourite film is anchorman and boy he can whip up a mean carbonara, so please put your hands together for Mr Finn Russell. With Finn in toe, we discuss and dissect all the Six Nations action from over the weekend which saw England win back the Calcutta Cup, the Irish down the resilient Welsh and the French flog the abysmal Azzurri. Furthermore, Mr Russell talks about his excitement surrounding the upcoming Lions Tour and he has promised the KOKO Crew a couple of big nights out on him. Plus, the lads also get silky with a sublime second round of Super Rugby, illuminating all the reasons as to why it is the best domestic competition in the world. So slip on your kilts, pour yourself a Scotch and let the breeze blow between your cheeks, because this show will be a super sensual yet very Scottish sensory overload. It is time now for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

For the first installment this week of The KOKO Show we are making round one of the Super Rugby season the first order of business, as the lads crunch the numbers and survey the action from a spine tingling slate of initial matches. In a week where 45 tries were awarded, 317 points were scored and every match finished within a 1-12 margin, it would be fair to say Super Rugby is back and the fellas were physically aroused. With tight pants and positive attitudes the boys shuck each game like a delicious Sydney Rock Oyster, handing you their pearls of wisdom when necessary and throwing out the facts that don't pass the sniff test. Moreover, the guys get hot and heavy celebrating the most successful first round of Super Rugby by Aussie teams since 2018, with the Brumbies, Warartahs and Western force all notching up last gasp wins for a tangly little trifecta of triumph. Plus, the fellas are open and honest with how they are placed after week one in the KOKO Super Rugby Fantasy League, as they celebrate sexy selections, rue missed opportunities or in Prof’s case only just realised the Reds didn't play. So sit back and set up a fantasy team full of your favourite former footy greats over forty that have a mediocre podcast and let your dirtiest thoughts run wild. It is time to get freaky ladies and gentlemen with another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

For your second trip up to the all you can eat KOKO buffet of happiness and rugby filled banter, we are giving you a healthy lashing of Super Rugby excitement, a side salad of ‘What’s Drewin’ and little sweet treat to finish as we name our first round of ‘Locked in Lions’. With the ‘Superb’ Rugby season merely hours away from kicking off the lads run their greasy mitts through each and every Australian franchise, handing you unsolicited pearls of wisdom about how each team will compete and fair in the upcoming 2025 season. We talk crucial INS, OUT and and what could have ‘beens’ for each side, as we put together the most complete and comprehensive season preview that zero dollars could buy. Plus, the boys have to smooth over some tense moments with Gits as he comes to terms with the fact most of the best Rebels players on the market didn't and shouldn’t want to live in Canberra. I mean we could all ‘A SEE T’ that was coming! Moreover, Drew clears the cobwebs off the age-old debate “What is Sua’ali’i’s best position?”, as the Tahs look to play him at the back, whilst Schmidt saw his value in the centres. Finally, to keep our little frostbitten friends north of the wall happy, we have introduced a new segment called ‘The Locked in Lions”, where for the 12 weeks the lads will pick one player each every week to put on our whiteboard that can pack their bags and book their exit rows seats for the Lions Tour Down Under. So, put your tray tables away and place your seats in the upright position as the KOKO Crew point out each and every debaucherous exit on your whirlwind trip to pleasure town. It is time now for episode four of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show our Tuesday fix gets seriously down and dirty with the world of ‘Ra Ra’ as the lads get open and honest about all the action across week two of the Six Nations, as well as pulling apart all the big news within Australian Rugby. To kick off the first episode of the week the boys went introspective outlining lessons they learnt over the weekend, in a brand new segment we like to call ‘KOKO’s Weekend Wake Up Call’. The second sinking ship to depart the port of Kick Off and Kick On was a comprehensive sweep of the sad news that Joe Schmidt will be hanging up his green and gold whistle at the conclusion of the TRC. The KOKO Crew touch on all the noble reasons for his departure, the work he has done so far and the work he will continue to do up until the end of his tenure to put Australian Rugby back on the International radar. Plus, the boys get BOLD once again, as they outline possible suitors in the rugby stratosphere that cut the mustard as Joe Schmidt’s replacement. We know what you are all thinking up north these Aussies are so bloody self-centered, but fret not my winter withered wise arses, we have once again served you up a delicious helping of the ‘Six Nations Summation’, as we highlight England’s upset over the French and Ireland’s renewed quest for that always elusive Grand Slam. So spark up a durrie because vaping is so 2024 and let this next gen rugby ruckus fill your every orifice with life, laughter and the pursuit of some fucking sponsors. It is time for week 2 of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we come to your eyes and ears by way of the Central Tablelands in NSW as the fellas finish off our inaugural season of KOKO in Orange. Despite the boys being of weary body and mind, they bound their Northern Hemisphere inflicted wounds, popped a couple Nurofen plus and got back on this bucking bronco of a show to finish the year off in grassroots style. When we started this show, all we wanted to do is help the average Aussie footy fan fall back in love with rugby again, whilst giving back to the OG footy fans in our rural and regional communities. Oh Boy! Let us bloody tell you rugby union is alive and well if northwest NSW is anything to go by and we can’t thank The Saltbush Hotel, Orange and the surrounding areas enough for their support of the show in our final episode of season one. In this week’s episode we put a pretty little Chrissy bow on what was a whirlwind debut season for Kick Offs and Kick Ons, discussing the year that was 2024 in both the contexts of our show as well as the World Rugby landscape as a whole. The lads breakdown their highs and lows of the year, who and what caught their eye on the field and what 2025 has in store for all of us. We would like to give a big thank you to our headline sponsor MYER for all of their support this year and allowing us to create a show that accurately conveys the light and shade of Australian Rugby. Plus, we would also like to show some love to all of our sponsors throughout 2024 for being vital cogs in the wheel of success that was KOKO 1.0. In a year that has seen us laugh, cry, sit on milk crates and then travel to all corners of the globe, it is you our fans that deserve the final thanks. Without your support week in and week out, we wouldn't be able to put this poor excuse of a podcast together and for that we are eternally grateful. So, for the final time in 2024 lather yourself in baby oil, put on your comfiest lounging around g-banger and let the buttery tones of KOKO take you on a journey. It is time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads leave their luggage-less European odyssey behind to take on the delicious yet dangerous deserts of Dubai. As we all know December signals the end of the International Test season down under, with the resurgent Wallabies going down in a tight tussle against the intoxicating Irish in Dublin. With that being said the KOKO Crew breaks down all the ins and outs of that encounter and how Aussie fans should be buoyed by what we saw in Joe Schmidt’s heartbreaking homecoming. However, as we close the book on 2024’s Test Match madness, the lads open up the sensational sevens scrapbook as we look at all the action from the Emirates Dubai Sevens. We trade in the slush and sleet of soggy Europe for the sun and sand of the UAE, to bring you a cracking show from the comfort of the Emirates Dubai Sevens Sunroom, as we celebrate the Aussie women and the Fiji men for claiming their respective titles over the weekend. Plus, the gang are joined by two of the all time greats who are now part of the HSBC red polo stable raking in that global dollar, so please get ready to enjoy the stories and world class banter from Bryan Habana and Michael Hooper. To cap off a cracking episode we express our love and support for all the people and entities involved in putting together this KOKO Tour and of course we show our appreciation for the beautiful people at MYER with an all time mixed bag Match Fit all they from the Dubai desert. As we near the end of our inaugural season as The KOKO Show we encourage you not to worry and be happy because we promise to be back bigger and better next year. It is time now for Kick Offs and Kick Ons The Emirates Dubai Sevens Editions.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads are coming to you from the billionaire's backyard, Monaco. In a nation known for its tangy tax breaks, OTT opulence and a general intolerance for Aussie ‘riff raff’, there are four bog standard blokes with no voices, peaking anxiety levels and rented tuxedos leaving their mark on this really tidy town. We are in Prince Albert’s country for the World Rugby Awards and after dragging Holiday Swoop away from the open bar, Drew away from stalking Dupont and putting Goit’s shirt back on for the red carpet, we found ourselves just a little sliver of time to bring you a truly luxe podcasting presentation of perfection. As the Autumn Internationals come to close with only one match remaining next weekend, with the Aussies taking on the Irish, we give you a full breakdown of all the action from week three of the November Test Match madness. Moreover, despite the panel being down in the dumps after watching the Wallabies’ Grand Slam hopes get murdered at Murrayfield, we run through all the ins and outs of Scotland’s sublime sinking of HMAS ‘Schmidt Hot’ and how the Aussies will bounce back against the Irish. Plus, we will give you a little taste of all the matches from across the weekend, as well as all the winners and grinners from World Rugby’s night of nights. I mean it aint the Logies or the RSL’s mega meat tray raffle, but Monaco is pretty cool I guess. So, get yourself squared away as we bring you MYER’s first Monaco mixed bag Match Fit and some seriously sensational ‘Super Sizzlers’ brought to you by BeefEater and Appliances Online. This show will certainly bring you vacay vibes, as boys go full ‘maxo relaxo’ in the middle of the Med. Despite our show standing out like dogs balls in such a serene setting, we promise to deliver you a demure dictation of the most distinguished debauchery in all of rugby. It is time now for Kick Offs and Kick Ons the Monaco edition.

This week on The KOKO Show we come to your eyes and ears from foggy old London, where people come to complain and sun tans come to die. The Special guest this week on KOKO does not have a long neck nor feathers, but boy he is a bit of a goose. He is England’s most capped player of all time and from all accounts one of the best blokes to ever grace a footy field. We apologize you have to listen to this pint-sized pain in the ass for a whole episode, but we are truly grateful that Mr. Ben Youngs dropped by for a chat. The boys run through the whole slate of Test Match footy from week 2 of the November Internationals, starting with the Wallabies record-breaking win over the woeful Welsh, England falling short once again to their Southern Hemisphere counterparts, Les Bleus bouncing the big boy All Blacks and plenty more from around the grounds. Thanks to our dear friends at MYER we bring you some silky summer threads from the dullest place on earth in a confusingly beautiful mixed bag ‘Match Fit’ and we fire up the grills to deliver our ‘Super Sizzlers’ from the weekend’s action, brought to you by BeefEater and Appliances Online. So lock up families, chain up your pets, and clear out your safety deposit boxes. The KOKO Contiki Tour is in full swing and Holiday Swoop has been let out of his cage. As we have always said on this show, when the Wallabies ‘Schmidt It In’, KOKO ‘Schmidts’ alongside them but one thing is for sure our boys turn that ‘Schmidt’ up to a ten. So, sit back and enjoy as we lock in on those kilt-wearing caber tossers, that's right Scotland you’re next!

This week on The KOKO Show we take a minute as a nation to bask in the radiant light of victory and the glorious healing properties of ‘Schmidting it in’ over the old foe. The lads whisk you away on an all expenses paid trip in and around how the Wallabies managed to win their first match against England at Twickenham since 2015, keeping the hopes of breaking the 40 year Grand Slam drought well and truly alive. To help us navigate this titanus tussle at ‘Twicks’ we tried to think of a former English great that would willingly allow us to rub his nose in the fact that Australia is simply just better as a country, so we landed on Gits’ big burly and often baked bear of a best mate, Mr Alex Corbisiero who gives the show some much needed direction pointing out the areas of the game that caught his eye and the importance of professional identity. Furthermore, to put a bow on this vital victory for the mighty men in gold we dish up our ‘Super Sizzlers’ brought to you by BeefEater and Corbs generously graces us with a ‘phat rap’ dedicated to our show. Plus, we also cover all the other big dog bouts including the All Black’s upset of Ireland, the Boks silencing the Scots and of course Fiji whaling on Wales. We know what you are thinking, what are you guys wearing whilst you piece together this rugby roundtable of awesomeness? Well thanks to MYER the fellas are fashionably on point and they show you just what to buy for summer in the newest instalment of the always wonderful mixed bag ‘Match Fit’. So lie back and get comfy as we tell you a raunchy tale from the weekend entitled ‘The Grand Slam’, where the Northern Hemisphere wined and dined the South, then we rolled around in their fields a little, used their shower, sullied their tooth brush and never called them again, leaving the North’s ego bruised, used and confused heading into week 2 of the tour. It’s time for an all new Kick Offs and Kick Ons. TIMECODES: 00:00 - Start 02:29 - Introductions 06:56 - ‘How Was Your Weekend Swoop?’ segment 10:13 - Swoop’s return to the ‘KOKO Match Review’ 14:31 - Movember 16:00 - London City Sevens 16:35 - Introduce Alex Corbisiero 21:28 - San Diego Legion doco 25:00 - ENGLAND V WALLABIES MATCH REVIEW 44:06 - Super Sizzler brought to you by BeefEater 51:09 - Corb’s special rap for The KOKO Show 55:16 - KOKO European Tour 56:00 - Dubai Sevens 56:42 - IRELAND V ALL BLACKS MATCH REVIEW 01:03:30 - SCOTLAND V SOUTH AFRICA MATCH REVIEW 01:06:26 - WALES V FIJI MATCH REVIEW 01:08:51 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER 01:16:58 - KOKO Final Show in Orange 01:18:24 - Easy Times Brewing Co KOKO Christmas collection 01:21:26 - Dear Drew 01:25:19 - Close of the show Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.au Cheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.

This week in the ‘KOKO Match Review’ the boys celebrate an amazing Wallabies win against the old foe England in the dying moments at Twickenham. The ‘Gladiators of Gold’ showed a new identity of grit and determination to claim only their second Test Match win over the motherland in their last twelve matchups. The gang analyzed Aussie debutant Joseph Sua’ali’i’s performance as he became only the second Wallaby behind our very own Matt Giteau to play their first professional rugby union match on the international stage. Although Joseph’s bank balance might have a few less commas than Goits, he did however manage a feat that our little legend couldn't by claiming player man of the match honours in his very first outing. In a game where both sides landed punches and weathered storms, the lads highlight that for the Wallabies Len Ikitau had a formidable performance in every facet of the game and for the English it is fair to say Marcus Smith has put a stake in the ground as a premier fly half in world rugby. However, it was Joe Schmidt’s men who dug deep for the full eighty minutes and ensured that the always elusive Grand Slam title was still alive and kicking for the Wallabies in 2024. The lads will cover every square inch of this cracking Test Match documenting the emotional ebbs and flows of International rugby and how the mighty Wallabies took a Schmidt on England’s parade. So wake the fuck up and smell the roses that we just stole from those pesky primadonna Poms. Australia it is time to stop checking your blood pressure, pop a ‘xanny’, pour yourself a spritz and just bathe in the warm and fuzzies that a win over England provides. Please enjoy another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’.

This week on The KOKO Show the boys are joined by a Wallabies Test Centurion, pint sized powerhouse and just all around great bloke. This fella was known for his delicious service from the base of the ruck and the amazing ability to live on a steady diet of self confidence and Pepsi Max. That is right, Will Genia drops by to impart his wisdom, footy insights and humour on our delightful panel of dullards. In this episode the boys break down the All Black’s nail biting victory over England, as well as Scotland's schooling of a feeble Fiji at Murrayfield. Fret not ye KOKO cool cats, this is not where the ‘ra ra’ ramble ends, as the fellas fine tooth comb their way through week 1 of the November Internationals giving you personalised previews of all the hot tips and count flips when it comes to deciding who is better between the North and South. However, we spend a little more time on how Joe’s ‘Gladiators of Gold’ are shaping up to dismantle the motherland and priming themselves to sufficiently ‘Schmidt’ on England’s parade. Plus, thanks to our beautiful friends at MYER for keeping this show on its toes, we slide out another silky yet sensual ‘Match Fit’ that promises to hit you in all the right places. Furthermore, with the mercury rising and the ocean glittering our hankering for a grilling session is coming to the surface, so thanks to BeefEater and Appliances Online the time for a BBQ is now. So sit back, plug in your iPod shuffle, flip a couple of snags and bask in the glow of KOKO, as we prepare the nation to watch our mighty Wallabies turn Twickenham into a temple of torture, whilst joyfully downing our foes that wear that silly rose. Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads are back after a much needed hiatus, filled with meditation retreats, prostate exams and day trips to their local VIP gaming facilities. All in all it is fair to say that they are back with a renewed energy for life and the sole mindset of delivering to you our beautiful fans a just above average entertainment experience. With this being our first episode back on the horse after a break we thought let's not burden our beautiful minds with the pressures of a special guest, but rather let’s see this wild beast of a ‘no guest nonsense’ show organically grow to thoroughly encompass both the joys of rugby union and the unrivalled shenanigans deep within us all. Thanks to MYER this show is able to remain on the air and this week they kept the lights on so we can give you a full preview of the upcoming spring/autumn tours where us the salty Southerners will once again pull the pants down of some Northern nobodys in dramatic Test Match fashion. In this episode we give you a full run sheet of how each team plans to ‘Schmidt it in’ north of the invisible line whilst also preparing the residence of the UK and Ireland for their impending arrival to the ‘Motherland’ for our highly anticipated KOKO Spring Tour brought to you by MIXR and the WRU. Plus, our sun kissed studs show off their exquisite summer ready loot from MYER in another masterful mixed bag Match Fit. We also sing our praises for the gorgeous humans at Easy Times Brewing Co for their delightfully delicious and drinkable drops and of course you can't have beer without a BBQ, so we give a massive thanks to BeefEater and AppliancesOnline for their continual support. So please raise your hands if you have missed us! Well we are back whether you like it or not and we are after only one thing and that is to be ‘Kings of the Noth’. As the Wallabies make tracks beyond the great divide to set the record straight, KOKO will be there every step of the way. As we have always said “When they Schmidt, we Schmidt, let’s all Schmidt it in together”.

This week on The KOKO Show we say farewell to The Rugby Championship and we congratulate the Springboks on their first win in 5 years, as well as acknowledging their charmingly chunky trophy case. Soon it is our belief Rassie will need a rental space to stash all their hard earned and metabolically manifested hardware from across the globe. In order to put a neat little bow on this Southern Hemisphere slugfest of Test Match rugby we get the boys to grade all the nations in the TRC on how they performed in the past six games and where they stack up as they head north for their respective spring tours. Whilst we talk about our little friends north of the Equator, the KOKO Crew drop the dates and details for their hotly anticipated spring time tour, as the lads get ready to ruthlessly rumble with live shows in Cardiff, London, Edinburgh and Dublin. So please head to our website for all the necessary information, so you the punter can be part of this debaucherous descent on the UK and Ireland. As we take a little step back from the Test Match arena this week, we decided that there is no greater distraction from the ebbs and flows of footy than our next very special guest. If you ever need to fill a pod from whistle to whistle then this bloke is your answer, because when he gets tired talking about himself he has every expectation that you will pick up the baton and continue this self-centered lovefest. This larger than life loveable larrikin stopped by KOKO HQ for an unforgettable session and turned this once quaint and humble rugby show into the throbbing hog it has always wanted to be. So please put your hands together for this full time fucking legend and part time grumpy bastard. He is a big, bald, beautiful Brisbane boy and he is The KOKO Show’s Mt Everest, it is the one and only Mr Wendell Sailor. However, in between all these delightfully Dell infused discussions we find some time to show our major sponsor MYER some love with a masterfully manicured mixed bag ‘Match Fit’. Plus, we sucked back on a couple of lagers from Easy Times Beer Co and discussed our ‘Super Sizzlers’ for the week thanks to our dear friends at BeefEater and Appliances Online. So if you are in need for a little trip down ‘Degenerate Drive’ to really loosen the shackles and get amped for summer then this show is the one for you. It is time for another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on ‘The KOKO Match Review’ the boys are up bright and early nursing sore heads and weary eyes to give you ‘ra ra’ roundup like no other. We will fine-tooth comb our way through Bledisloe two, where the All Blacks were pushed to the edge early by a brave and willing Wallabies team in windy Wellington. After getting off to a fast start this week the Wallabies mounted significant pressure, but when push came to shove, the points came a lot easier for the big brutal boys from the land of the long white cloud. The papers and social clips will read that the Wallabies went down two to nil in the Bledisloe Cup, but it is clear to the naked eye that our ‘Gangsters of Gold’ are putting in a ‘Schmidt’ tonne effort and are progressing nicely. With the TRC on the line it would be reckless of The KOKO Crew not to address the neat little treat in Nelspruit between the Springboks and Pumas. Although the Pumas had a snowflake's chance in hell to hold the TRC title in their sassy South American hands, it was the banging Boks in the end that got up really big for Eben Etzebeth in his record breaking match. The ‘Green Goblins’ of gritty rugby proved way too strong at home for the pedestrian Pumas, claiming their much deserved place at the tippy top of The Rugby Championship. So if you are rising slowly this fine morning muttering the words “Sundays are for Swoop” then throw on your coziest crotchless pants and listen to our dulcet tones to get you really hot and heavy. It is time for ‘The KOKO Match Review’. 00:00 - Intros 02:18 - Springboks v Los Pumas 12:07 - Wallabies v All Blacks 20:49 - KOKO Beers for Sale - go to www.kickoffsandkickons.com Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.au Cheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.

This week on The KOKO Show we take a long hard look at round five of The Rugby Championship, a weekend that saw the giddy guys of gold push the All Blacks to the edge in Bledisloe one, as well as the World Champion blazing Boks getting pantsed by the prideful Pumas in a one point thriller. These games are broken down and picked apart by the KOKO Crew as if they were vultures on a sun baked Kudu carcass lying in the middle of the Serengeti. To help us through this delectable feast of footy filled fabulousness, we have called in the big guns. This fella is one of New Zealand's favourite and somewhat forgotten sons, In 2011 he was the first-five that went from whitebait fishing to World Cup winning. So, please put your hands together for the wholesome hairy Beaver, the Waikato Wizard and the only man to ooze sexy with the middle name Rexy, Mr Stephen Donald. In this week’s episode Beaver takes across the ditch to see what the classy Kiwis are saying about their side's sub-par performance over the weekend, whilst also lifting the lid on what appears to be the start of a footy fuelled national crisis in New Zealand. With all this sporting sensationalism hooked straight to our veins, the boys felt it was pertinent to spend a little time to show MYER our major sponsor some love with a perfectly fierce, flashy and spectacularly ‘sigma’ mixed bag ‘Match Fit. Plus, we go around again with our meaty mates from BeefEater, serving up some serious ‘Super Sizzlers’ and the lads issue a big thanks to our purveyor of mothers milk Easy Times Beer Co for quenching the needs of four thirsty men. On top of all this we roll out a couple of fan fables on the ‘Dear Drew’ hotline and we bring back a juicy ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ as the top-halfers go ham for footy once again. So get out your paints, don your smocks and dust off the old easel, we want you to paint us like one of your French girls, as this porous pod sinks to brand new lows.

This week in the ‘KOKO Match Review’ the boys peel back the layers on the All Blacks Bledisloe Cup victory in Sydney and they also have a little gander at top of the TRC tussle between Argentina and the Springboks. In James Slipper’s record breaking 140th cap for his country, it was the men from the land of the long white cloud that started fast against the wasteful Wallabies, stacking on the 21 unanswered in the first 15 minutes. Despite a brave and gutsy comeback from our ‘Gladiators in Gold’ in the second half, the early All Black rampage had us Aussies pushing ‘Schmidt’ uphill. It might be another ‘L’ in the results column for the Wallabies, but the KOKO Crew discuss at length the strengths and pitfalls of this young Aussie side heading into game two in Wellington. The fellas also find a morsel time to touch on the ‘Big Boy’ bout between Argentina and South Africa. In a match where the stakes were sky high for both sides in relation to their TRC title hopes, but it was the punishing Pumas that went full alpha and said “hold my Malbec”, as they tightened up the TRC race heading into the final round in Nelspruit. With the Bled locked up at Razor’s ranch and the TRC crown still up for grabs, it is time for the men of KOKO to bathe in the delicacies and nuances of our beautiful game, please enjoy another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’. Timestamps: 00:00 - Hello and welcome 00:15 - Los Pumas v Springboks 07:42 - Wallabies v All Blacks Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.au Cheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.

This week on The KOKO Show we set the scene for round five of the TRC, bigging up all things Bledisloe Cup and how the Wallabies can leave a hypothetical bag of flaming Schmidt on the All Black’s doorstep. Despite the Trans-Tasman tussle being the centerpiece this weekend, we also give the Argentina v South Africa title race match a little love, debating whether the prancing Pumas have what it takes at home to pull down some silky Springbok slacks. In order to enhance all this glorious rugby chat we have enlisted the help of one of the greatest Kiwis to ever do it. He might be small in stature but boy was he big in the ‘pain in the arse’ department, he is the puny punisher from Palmerston North and the Herculean halfback who broke Aussie hearts for fun. Please welcome our favourite little deep fried delicacy Mr Aaron ‘Nuggy’ Smith. On the show, Nuggy breaks down what it's like watching the All Blacks from afar, how he sees the Bledisloe Cup panning out and lifts the lid on the terrifying fact that his International playing days might not be over. With all this manic footy preparation surrounding the KOKO Crew we spare a little time to show MYER our major sponsor some love with a perfectly curated, elegantly electric and decadently drenched mixed bag ‘Match Fit. Plus, we welcome back our meaty mates from BeefEater and the lads issue a big thanks to our new beer/mothers milk provider Easy Times Beer Co out of Brisbane. On top of all this fiscal fanfare we fill this fallow week with three new spectacular segments which include, ‘Sundays are for Swoop’, ‘Get fit with Gits’ and ‘Dear Drew: The KOKO Hotline’. So sit back, lather yourself in coconut oil, sit in the sun and sizzle in the serenity of our podcasting putridness. They say there is nothing healthy about our show, but fuck me it is always a wild ride. It’s time for an all new Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we got down and dirty with Australian content royalty, Tom and Eddy from the Hello Sport Podcast were kind enough to open up their studio and minds to be used and abused by this poor excuse of a show. We talk about everything from the seasonal nature of rosé, the correlation between sports administration and dumpling consumption and the current standing of Union in the Australian sporting landscape. There is nothing quite like talking footy fables with new friends, all while sipping on a tangy little tequila. Plus, the boys break down the medium rare Argentinian ass whooping the Wallabies received over in Santa Fe, pulling no punches as they unpack why we sucked, how we sucked and who sucked the most. However, on the other side of every World Record pride pounding there sits the victor and boy didn’t those Argies turn up the heat on our Aussie lads, until they were done like a dinner. Alas, as Australians, we get back on the horse, we go again and we try not to let the All Blacks make it 68-27. Despite being an Australian show, it would be remiss of us not to debate the big dog duel between South Africa and New Zealand. It was the footy version of Foreman v Ali, Swoop v the elusive feature and Gits v saturated fats, minute to minute this grind of a match proved in the end why the Springboks are World Rugby’s benchmark. So if you are a Wallabies fan and you are feeling a little down, a touch blue and you are onto your third bottle of Savvy B, we just say don't sweat the small stuff, the nation always needs a tidy right after the Schmidt hits the fan. So pick up the baby wipes, arm yourselves with windex and press play on the KOKO Show. Let’s clean up Australian Rugby together! It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons. TIMECODES 00:00 - Start of the show 00:50 - Introduction 05:22 - Introduce the Wallabies 07:35 - Introduction for the Hello Sports 11:29 - Hello Sport gives The KOKO Show podcasting tips 12:49 - Sports admin, dumplings and the fact that Peter V’landys is a seafood guy 15:20 - How union and league went different directions in 2003 17:36 - Rugby union pokie machine idea 20:49 - The boys talk about how Aussie rugby is growing 22:48 - Why don’t people like seeing a national rugby team do well 27:09 - The tough mentality of other teams in World Rugby 28:37 - Do we need more league players in rugby union? 36:30 - Which cartoon characters are you sexually attracted to? 40:21 - The shared love for dad jokes and the hatred for public speaking 45:22 - Sydney Live Show plug 46:04 - Hell Sport guys depart 46:13 - Reflecting on the chat with the Hello Sport guys 57:08 - The boys having a crack at Swoop for not doing the ‘Match Review’ 49:59 - Drew shows off the new merch 51:24 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER 54:42 - Rugby Roundup - Argentina v Wallabies review 01:09:55 - Rugby Roundup - South Africa v All Blacks review 01:17:49 - Other International rugby scores 01:18:56 - The KOKO Quiz 01:23:53 - Thanks to MYER 01:24:17 - Socials plug and close of the show Big thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.au BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE RIGHT NOW - www.kickoffsandkickons.com Make sure you follow us on all socials: INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us info@shtn.com.au.

The Wallabies fell a long way short in Santa Fe against Los Pumas, unable to double down on their gritty win in the rain last week. The injury embattled ‘Boys of Gold’ got completely and utterly outplayed by the hosts in the second forty, as the Pumas piled on the points for fun. Plus, we also touch on that Cape Town ‘crunch-a-thon’, as the lads from the land of the long white cloud lose two on the trot to the blistering Boks. In a week where Australia stands as one to congratulate James Slipper for tying George Gregan’s all-time Aussie caps record, the ‘KOKO Crew’ are here right after the action to give you some hot takes, juicy tips and tangy touchpoints all wrapped up in a comprehensively disappointing review of some toe tickling Test Footy. Despite the early start on our end, the lads promise they are only three bloody marys deep and they are ready to rock your rugby related senses all morning long. So if you are up at the crack of dawn buffing an chiseling that slinky summer bod or just soaking in some self-blame from a Sunday morning walk of shame, just forget the world, pop two nurofen and wash it down with a good swig of luke warm KOKO. That’s right, it’s time for another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on The KOKO Show we dive right back into the magical ecosystem that is The Rugby Championship season, nourishing our bodies with a gritty ‘Top Schmidt’ Wallabies win and nibbling on the big dog battle that saw the Springboks prevail over the All Blacks. With so much mouthwatering footy on the menu, it is only right that we pick both carcasses clean, like the analytical vultures we are. With the Wallabies well and truly back in the winners circle the lads bathe in the radiant aura of victory and boy it does it feel good. This episode Swoop was loud, Biv had his finger on the pulse, Gits was happy and Prof was Prof, giving you our beautiful fans a well rounded trip through the unforgiving yet always rewarding tundra that is International Rugby. Plus, to help us deliver this sensory overload for your eyes and ears, we were joined by one of the greatest to ever lace them up. He is the Joburg Joker, the tip-toeing tech tycoon and the only bloke that can make racing animals and planes for money look cool. It is of course our South African sidekick Mr Bryan Habana. With Spring now sprung and the mercury rising, the boys in partnership with our beautiful friends at MYER give our fashion focused fans a little taste of what to wear in warmer months in another mixed bag ‘Match Fit’. So flip out your shopping channel deck chair, get that coconut oil in all of your deepest crevices and soak up some springtime sun, with your four favourite flogs nattering in your head.

The under siege Wallabies went to South America looking to right some wrongs after two losses to the Springboks and boy did they answer their critics against the Argies. These Aussie battlers put in 80 of your toughest minutes to get back into the winners circle in La Plata.

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by a code hopping hooligan, he is one of the greatest to ever play on the wing in either code. This Fijian born flyer has a penchant for a good nap, carving up the dance floor to Usher and spear tackling Richie McCaw in a Test Match. So please put your hands together for the Sunny Bank sensation, a man who went bang at the Broncos and then titillated at the Tahs, he was alway the smoothest on the park and that's why they call him the Shark. It is the one and only Mr Lote Tuqiri. Plus, with this past week being a fallow weekend for footy, we turned our attention to bigging up the Wallabies trip to Argentina and the clash of the titans in South Africa when the All Blacks try to play spoiler against the Springboks. On top of all of that we take a little peek at the grassroots level as we preview the Shute Shield Final between Eastern Suburbs and Northern Suburbs in the NSW domestic competition. Lastly, but certainly not leastly we pay homage to the beautiful people at MYER, as we celebrate all the ‘Daddys’ out there with a little appreciation and exploration of ‘Spring Newness’.

This week on The KOKO Show we take you on a necessary journey of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. We are joined this week by a man that consistently played footy at the highest level and then after retirement decided to live at an even higher one. He has played 52 caps for the Springboks and he was the ‘legend face’ of Toulon Rugby, a man that draws you in with his warmth and unwavering energy, it is of course the father of flow and the patron of ‘pura vida’, Mr Joe van Niekerk. In this week’s episode the KOKO Crew get taken in a slightly different direction, we delve into the trials and tribulations of life after footy and what it means to find your ‘self’ post retirement. With all that being said we still found time to dish you up a “succulent Chinese meal” of TRC content as we break down the Wallabies second defeat at the hands of the Green Machine in Perthfotein. Plus, we have a little gander at how the All Blacks took Los Pumas to the Garden of Eden and showed them how the big boys play. On top of all this yummy podtent, MYER is back in the fold presenting you with another deliciously fashionable instalment of ‘Match Fit’ and our dear friends at MANSCAPED AU allowed swoop to go hammer and tong at Biv’s bits. So find your flow, open up your mind's eye and let this white light podcasting excellence fill your every orifice. This week we are aligning your chakras, whilst derailing everything else.

The embattled Wallabies went down swinging once again at the hands of the big bad Boks in weather more fitting for a day at ‘Wet n Wild World’ rather than a footy match. The KOKO Crew are back once again like a pack of hungry news reporters with absolutely no journalistic integrity to give you all their spicy takes and tasty touch points from Saturday's game. Although, we can't promise 100% accurate information, we can deliver unwavering charisma and unapologetic Aussie bias. So if you are stuck in a Wallaby induced mine shaft of depression, climb back out and soak up some Aussie spirit, swim with a whale shark and chug some of Margaret River’s finest. Just remember it is always darkest before the Wallabies ‘Schmidt it in’ again. It’s time for another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we bring you a match made by the game they play in heaven. This collaboration has one rugby podcasting powerhouse…and us. When we talk of amazing combinations, we think of wine and cheese, latex and fun and sriracha on anything.

This week on the KOKO Show the crew headed down the Hume Highway to surprise our little leader upon his return from the land of the free and the home of the brave. That is right, we went full bloody stealth mode to ensure the unofficial King of Canberra got the serenade he deserved fresh off his business class flight home. Thanks to our special guest and former Wallaby Ben Alexander and his team at ‘The Dock’ in Canberra we had a fun little get together in front of Goit’s family and friends. We cover all things ra ra in the lead up to the start of the TRC focusing on the Wallabies matchup against the Springboks and touching on the All Blacks v Argentina clash. Gone are the ghosts of July series past and now it is time for the big dawgs to eat, woof, woof, woof baby. Plus, in partnership with our headline sponsor MYER we serve up another mouth watering ‘Match Fit’ segment and this time it comes with undertones of capital chic, parliamentary poise and world leader wonderment.

This week on The KOKO Show we travel back to Ancient Greece, in order to rock the fuck out of a toga and understand what it is about the Olympics that gets the boys a smidgen hot under the saddle blanket. In a quest for experimentation and self-growth this show is going to try something a little different this week and tackle the giant that is the Paris Olympics. We touch on all the Rugby Sevens news from the first few days of competition, highlighting the valiant efforts of the ‘Golden Guys’, the role of Dupont in France’s golden glory and how the Aussie Women are shaping up for world domination. Plus, the boys get out of their comfort zone as we dissect plenty of other amazing Olympic performances and the fellas pick their favourite moments from the 33rd games so far. We know Paris is famous for angry waiters, a metal tower and bloody big roundabout with an arch, but Mr Holiday Swoop lifts the lid on his must hits and naughty nooks you have to see when you visit the ‘City of Love’. To cap off this très bien episode we get the competitive juices flowing with an Olympic sized quiz, filled to the brim with gold standard questions, as the boys fight it out for spots on the podium. So heat up your croissants, chalk up your mits and get your hands off ya batton, we are about to go full send on this triple pike of a podcast and of course we always stick the landing. It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we celebrate the mighty Wallabies going back to back to back in 2024, as we dive deep into the weekend's footy, throwing ‘Schmidt’ at the wall and seeing what sticks. With Mr Matt ‘Goitan’ Giteau sunning his bits and pieces in the SoCal summer, we have brought in a superstar replacement to adequately fill the void left by the richest man in Canberra. Our panelist this week is the fleet footed frontrower that cuts defenses up like a rusty old lawnmower, a baby faced bulldozer who will never hinge whilst getting off on a scrummaging binge. That is right, please welcome the bloke known as the Newington nightmare, he is all bells and no whistle and boy does he jingle all the way, it is the one and only Mr Angus Bell. In this week's episode we cover all the games from the weekend’s inter-tier bonanza of beat downs, we touch on San Diego’s disappointing exit from the MLR finals in our ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ segment and we have a little look at what the Wallabies need to work on moving into the upcoming TRC. Plus, it wouldn't be the KOKO spirit, without showing our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren some love, so we deliver you a ‘Match Fit’ straight from the catwalks of Milan, dripping in luxe living and dapper decadence. So pour yourself a double, spark up a winnie red and get cozy on your industrial strength water bed. This KOKO conniption is going to be a bumpy ride.

This week on The KOKO Show the boys bask in the ethereal light of back-to-back Wallabies victories over the willing Welsh, with the main focus being getting lit and talking Schmidt. As the Wallabies remain on pace for complete rugby world domination, the crew also find some time to break down the other ‘BIG DAWG’ Internationals from across the weekend, which saw the All Blacks pants England, Ireland put the Boks on the rocks and the Arigies fry up the French. With all this global footy lovin’ going on, we thought it would be fitting to bring in a guest that has faced all these foes and has come out the other side still baby faced and bushy tailed. This fella has played over 90 caps for Wales, he is a Six Nations Champion and has represented the Lions on six occasions. He is the headgear wearing hottie, the Bancyfelin bruiser and the vixen from the Valleys, it is of course Jonathan ‘Fox’ Davies. Plus, thanks to our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren brought to you by our beautiful friends at Myer, the lads are looking luminous, luscious and quite simply lovable in another stylish installment of ‘Match Fit’. We know we are too generous, but when you think we couldn't fit any more into this bloody show, we somehow find enough room to squeeze in the world's greatest pie and a little bit of Quiz action. That's right thanks to Four’N Twenty for sponsoring the KOKO Quiz and not only do they make pies that are 100% Aussie Beef, they are also 100% bloody delicious. So, instead of taking a long walk off a short jetty, just throw on your most luxurious activewear, Fosbury flop onto your favourite ottoman and just let the dulcet tones of four half pissed lunatics try and tell you what happened this week in the world of rugby. That’s right, it's time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

As you all know The KOKO Show always goes above and beyond for its fans and for a little extra content snack this week Mr Moneybags Giteau sits down with the fearless leader of the San Diego Seals team, and Legion tighthead prop, Mr Darcy Breen. Not unlike Bigfoot or the abominable snowman, we have been tracking down this big bopper for ages and now we have finally landed the man with more vertebrae than Healthy Harold the Giraffe. Gits picks his brain about a myriad of topics, such as, where his footy journey began, how to perfect the art of scrummaging, the benefits of a death-shake for bulking and why Mrs Incredible’s flexibility is so bloody attractive. So please sit back, keep your posture on point and the core engaged, as we wouldn't want anyone to slip a disc whilst listening to this neck roll of an interview. It’s time for the newest instalment of ‘Bits with Gits’.

This week on The KOKO Show we unshackle ourselves from the world of high-end rugby guests to get down and dirty with the majestic temptress that is International Rugby. Prof and the boys peel back the layers on all of the big matches from the weekend, with special attention placed on the Wallabies' big win over the luckless Welsh. The crew give their in depth opinions and hard hitting analysis of Australia’s new era of rugby, as the men in gold successfully started the ‘Schmidting It In’ process with a gritty win in game one of their July Series. Plus, we unpack all of the big DAWG duels that certainly lived up to their hype, with South Africa downing a gallant Ireland, New Zealand edging out a persistent England and France beating the Argies with the blunt end of a baguette. With week one of global games coming to a close it was a dominant display by the teams from the Southern semicircle of the world, which led the lads to renaming this week's juicy dose of ‘Northern Hemisphere Losers’ in order to be more accurate. Also in the show, we dish up a classic case of ‘What’s Drewing’, Prof is the target of his first ‘Social Snitch’ and finally Adam ‘Pieman’ Ashley-Cooper goes for a three peat in the Four’N Twenty KOKO Quiz. Last, but certainly not least, thanks to our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren the boys are literally wearing too many threads to count and boy do they look sexy in this week's installment of ‘Match Fit’. So put on your cork hats, firmly re-plug your double pluggers and throw on your going out footy shorts, because the bloody Wallabies are back in the winners circle and it is time to celebrate with your favourite ra ra ramblers.

This week our extra content comes from you, our beautiful big brained brilliant fans. That is right we are debuting our new segment KOKO Kwestions where one of the boys answers viewer questions while Prof sits there and mocks them endlessly. Once again Swoop managed to duck and dive the extra work, so this week Prof sits down with Drew ‘no budget’ Mitchell and they filter through a few listener questions, covering topics from Biv’s Wallaby debut all the way through to how athletes can deal with anxiety and the stresses of playing professional sport. So sit down and keep quiet and who knows you might bloody learn something for once. It’s time for you to gnaw on the bonus morsel attached to our content bone, this is ‘KOKO Kwestions’. If you have any questions that you would like answered by one of these highly decorated neanderthals please send them through to our email: info@shtn.com.au or DM us on insta @kickoffskickons.

It is of course our number one Wallabies halfback born in a place named after a baked good, the one and only Mr Nic William White. With Nic in tow we submerge our souls deep down into the inner workings of Wallaby Camp, getting all the tea from our little mate as the Wallabies shape up to shatter the will of Wales. As aforementioned, the boys get stuck into the majestic galaxy that is test footy as we build up and break down all the big International series that will be pleasuring your eyes and ears in the coming months. There is of course a little taste of home for those in the top half of the globe with a juicy ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ segment.

This week on the KOKO Show we give you a double guest charcuterie board filled to the brim with Olympic sized treats. We are joined by the one woman wrecking crew who prefers flattening opponents than crossing the whitewash, she is known as the Narrabeen Knuckle Duster, but we just like to call her Miss Sariah Paki. On top of having one of the star players, we thought let's also get the gentleman that puts these gold medal gurus through their paces. He is the Russel Crowe of the Women’s Sevens set up and boy does he have a beautiful mind, it is the mercurial messenger, Mr Tim Walsh. With the KOKO torch lit and the ceremony over, Sariah and Tim dove deep into their Olympic preparations, discussed the sacrifices for success and illuminated the best path for their gold medal domination in Paris. Plus, the boys most certainly jumped through all the Olympic rings to bring you your favourite KOKO segments including a full ‘Rugby Roundup’ where we breakdown the Blues v Chiefs final, we had a quick visit to Dr ‘What’s Drewing?’ to discuss Joe Schmidt’s first Wallaby Squad, as well as a little squizz at the winners and losers out of the All Blacks selection session. The boys then took a little jaunt North of the Equator to unpack all the footy action over the weekend which included England pounding Japan, the Springboks emasculating the Welsh, the Top 14 Semis and finally the URC Final. Just kick back in your comfy, stylish and durable threads from our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren and let’s bloody manifest about living out our Olympic dream of being higher, faster and stronger together. So, all that is left to do is take your favourite Matt Giteau gummy, run to the fridge for snacks and hammer-curl a glass of crisp Savvy B, it’s time for another session of Kick Offs and Kick Ons. 00:00 - Start of the show 00:33 - Polo Ralph Lauren Plug 01:07 - Show intro 02:24 - The boys intros 04:00 - Recap of the boy’s weekends 07:42 - ‘Match Fit’ segment brought to you by Polo Ralph Lauren 13:16 - Socials and website plug 14:22 - Daniel Ricciardo loves the KOKO merch 15:21 - Social Snitches segment 17:39 - Introducing Tim Walsh and Sariah Paki 37:09 - Who are the Aussie Women's Sevens biggest rivals 40:01 - Tim Walsh almost got Gits to play sevens 41:51 - Bringing fifteens players into the sevens last minute 45:09 - The KOKO Quiz 59:08 - Rugby Roundup Segment 59:18 - Super Rugby Final 01:04:18 - What’s Drewing? - Discussing the Wallabies and All Blacks squads 01:10:43 - Northern Hemisphere Legends 01:29:02 - Top 14 Semi-Finals 01:33:53 - Super Sizzler brought to you by BeefEater and special KOKO ‘Beef10’ discount code 01:38:49 - Thanks to Polo Ralph Lauren our headline sponsor 01:39:33 - Signing off the show Big thanks to Polo Ralph Lauren for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.au/b/Polo%20Ralph%20Lauren Get yourself 10% off with the code 'Beef10' and also support the show!

The pair get into the weeds about the strengths and weaknesses of each team in the tournament and areas where growth is needed for 2025. In this segment we give you guys a comprehensive health check post the 2024 season and also how each of these teams may shape up heading into a new year. So please sit back and listen to every bloody word these buffoons say because they know their Aussie footy and they only deliver sage analysis. It’s time for Prof’s Pick And Let's Effing Go’.

This week on The KOKO Show, the lads go free solo on another ‘No Guest Nonsense’ episode. We felt it was time to once again serve up a raw and glam-free helping of footy, fun and complete fuck-wittery. With Mr Muscles Matt Giteau joining us from the Midwestern utopia that is Chicago we had to get straight to business, whilst still treating you to a full KOKO buffet and still ensuring that the ‘Imposing Imp’ was early to bed and well rested for his big game. Thanks to our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren, in partnership with MYER, the fellas are looking on fleek and are dripping with sumptuous style, for another installment of the always fashionable ‘Match Fit’. Plus, we give you a wall to wall ‘Rugby Roundup’ segment, breaking down what happened in the Super(b) Rugby Semi Finals, previewing the final between the Blues and the Chiefs, as well as a healthy dose of medicinal madness from Dr ‘What’s Drewing?’. However, the fun doesn't stop there as we keep chillin’ and grillin’ with our dear friends at BeefEater and Appliances Online, throwing a couple of grassfed ‘Super Sizzlers’ on the barbie for you all to enjoy. As you all know the boys threw together a ‘Halfway Wallabies XV’ mid-way through the season and now that all the Aussie teams are out and Schmidty has his silky hands all over his cattle, we thought it was pertinent to make it official with The KOKO Show’s ‘Full-Way Wallabies Starting XV’. So throw in your earpods and crank up that sound cancellation, drown out life and just bask in the beauty that is ‘No Guest Nonsense’, then get on the Internet and buy some Polo Ralph Lauren garb and a bloody BeefEater, so we can keep making your Tuesday’s tangy. It's time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we deliver you an episode with a Royal seal of disapproval, full of finals footy, funny yarns and a sensational guest. As part of our NHL’s segment this week we bring you all the action from the Gallagher Premiership Final between the Saints and Bath, but to cap it off we bring you some serious style from the Emerald Isle. This guest is slick, quick and we are pretty sure has bever been called a dick. He can sing, he can dance and boy can he play footy, this fella is the definition of triple threat. So, please welcome the crack-up from Cork, the Baron of Blackrock and the madman from Munster, the one and only Mr Simon Zebo. In other news, the KOKO Crew dismantles the Super(b) Rugby Quarter Finals, whilst also preparing you for the Semis, we allow Biv to get a little bee out of his bonnet in ‘What's Drewing?’ and thanks to BeefEater and AppliancesOnline we drop you cheeky devils some ‘Super Sizzler’ action in the Rugby Roundup. Finally and most importantly, we get the lads to spruce up, look fresh and get on the ‘Ab-Blaster 5000’ for another stylish yet svelte serving of ‘Match Fit’, brought to you by our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren and in partnership with MYER. So sit up straight and suck in your core you lazy pricks, as we dish up a Royal inspired footy feast for your eyes and ears and trust us we SPARE no one.

On this week's dose of extra KOKO content we crown the winner of the ‘Debate the Top Eight’ competition. Four weeks ago the lads laid out their predictions of the final eight teams left in the Suber(b) Rugby Playoffs and now the results are in, and not unlike an episode of The Jerry Springer show two of the boys will be told “you are not the winner”. Through a myriad of complex algorithms and Mensa level math, our team of number crunching boffins have come to the conclusion there is only one daddy of the ‘Debate the Top Eight’ title. So sit on the edge of your futon, throw on your UGGs and chew your nails down to the quick, as we go through the results to crown The KOKO Champion. Hosted on Acast.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads bring you two legendary rugby guests, one from yesteryear and the other currently doing his thing in the world of footy. Our first guest that joined us live in the studio is a long streak of pelican you know what, one of the greatest Kiwi players of all time and for over ten years was a real pain in the Wallabies’ butts. He is the know-it-all from the North Island, New Zealand's lanky lineout lothario and he is the man that got bail after one too many an ale, it is the one and only Mr Ali Williams. It has always been this show's mission statement, what is better than one big bastard? That's right, two massive bastards. So, all the way from the Queensland Reds inner sanctum we bring you the Gunnedah Goliath, one half of the ‘Brisbane Bash Brothers’ and a man that has more try assists than hairs on his head, it is of course Mr Harry ‘the future’ Wilson. We know what you are thinking, what else can these pricks pack into one show? Alas, not only do we shower you with wagyu grade talent, we serve up a full Rugby Roundup, a smattering of news from north of the invisible line and we preview the Super(b) Rugby Quarter-Finals. Last, but certainly the most important, thanks to our new headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren brought to us by MYER we get the lads and their sloppy rigs to hit the catwalk for another edition of our new and very dapper segment ‘Match Fit’. So sit back and relax, slip into your favourite preppy yet sporty fit, adorn your shoulders with a glorious knit and tune into KOKO as we talk footy and shit. It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week The KOKO Show’s extra content comes in the form of a sit down interview between roommates. That's right all the way from San Diego we have a new little segment entitled ‘Bits with Gits'. Matt ‘Goitan’ Giteau sits down with Former English frontrower, emerging grime rapper and one of the Legion’s assistant coaches, Mr Alex Corbisiero. We know what you are thinking, what do a fly half and prop talk about when stuck in a studio together, just watch as we unearth the perfect odd couple. They chinwag about Corb’s career, his musical prowess, the art of scrummaging and there are some COSMO questions to round it out. So put up your hammock, kick off your flip flops and fix yourself a spicy marg, get ready for the first, but certainly not the last installment of ‘Bits with Gits’.

This week on the KOKO show we are proud to announce our new headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren in connection with our dear friends at MYER. With the lights burning bright on the show we are now able to afford some A-grade guests, so this week we have lined up an absolute cracker. This man is one of Aussie Rugby’s most exciting players, with footwork and ball skills that leave opposing players tied up like German soft pretzels. He burst onto the scene in the mid 2000’s as the prodigy to end all prodigies, and boy he didn’t disappoint. That is right, this week we are joined by Brissy’s boxing bad boy, the quick, the quiet and the quirky, Mr Quade Cooper. Plus, with Polo Ralph Lauren as our new sponsor we are rolling out a brand new segment called ‘Match Fit’, where we break down the boy’s looks for the show and have a deep dive into their aesthetic choices and fashion forward vibes. We also deliver all the fan favourites, as we unpack the penultimate round of the Super(b) Rugby regular season, we debrief on another disappointing Wallaroos showing, we have a ‘Social Snitches’ that turns back time and finally we give some love to our Northern Hemisphere legends after an epic Champions Cup Final. We are the gift that can now give more, as we have a true blue chip headline sponsor to back our shenanigans, so sit back relax and ask yourself the age old question “Do you think I can rock a turtleneck sweater this winter?” It’s now time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we are coming to you from all corners of the globe, Prof and Biv are in the studio in Sydney, Gits is lighting it up in San Diego and Holiday Swoop is bringing the heat all the way from Positano in Italy. Much like a sunset kissing the top of an Amalfi village, this episode will make you feel things in the deepest and darkest corners of your pleasure department. Without a guest this week we welcome you inside the KOKO Dojo of Chaotic Mojo for some serious laughs and hardcore banter. We break down all things Super(b) Rugby in the ‘Rugby Roundup Segment’, the lads serve you up a beautifully al dente ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ segment and there is of course a signature slice of ‘Social Snitches'. For all you massive rugby nerds in the ‘KOKO-sphere’ the boys give you their hot-takes on the new law changes coming into the game in July, as we give you a very comprehensive dose of ‘What's Drewing?’ To finish the show we give you the fight you have all been waiting for, so throw out Fury v Usyk and disregard Ali v Frazier, as we present Tommy v Hugo in the Powerhouse Production Knee Wrestle of the Century. So please sit back and enjoy this limoncello fueled mechanical bull ride of a show with some fava beans and a bottle of Chianti, because it is time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads go wall to wall footy with a couple of cheeky yarns sprinkled into the mix. We deliver a comprehensive ‘Rugby Roundup’ segment unpacking and unfurling Round 12 of the Super(b) Rugby, illuminating the teams that are in the hunt for glory and the others that can start preparing for a debaucherous Mad Monday. With this in mind the lads don their outdoor aprons armed with their lucky tongs and serve you guys a smokey and saucy selection of ‘Super Sizzlers’, thanks to our friends at BeefEater and AppliancesOnline. We also dive into the unfortunate result for the Wallaroos in their first test match of the year, as they went down to the maple syrup crushing Canadians in Sydney. However, this week our piste de resistance is currently considered a ‘Northern Hemisphere Legend’, but really is a Southern Hemi Sensation. This man is widely considered as one of the greatest centres the rugby world has ever seen, a man so bold he refuses to get old, with nicknames like ‘The Tank’ and ‘The Rock’ opposing player often felt liquid filling their sock. This man is a gentleman and a scholar so please stand up and holla, yes of course, it is the one and only Mr Ma’a Nonu. So sit back, get yourself a plate with all the fixings and slip into your Sunday best as we spread another ‘Two-Time’ RWC champ across your soundwaves.

This time around on The KOKO Show the boys have a special treat with an all-time Northern Hemisphere Legend and Springbok speedster, a man with fast feet and an even faster car collection. You better bloody believe it, we chat to the king of the Cape and a hero in headgear Mr Cheslin Kolbe. The boys also dish out an all you can eat serving of the Rugby Roundup, topped with an extra spicy Suber(b) Sizzler garnish thanks to our mates at BeefEater and AppliancesOnline. We then round out this mouth watering walk through the rugby world with a couple of new segments entitled ‘What’s Drewing?’ and the boys ‘Debate the Top Eight.’ So sit back, relax and drink in the serenity as we go on a footy safari to see ‘The Big Five’ loose units in their natural habitat.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads are horsing around and bathing in the sweet sweet nectar of the Brumbies win over the previously undefeated Hurricanes. Much like a pack of hungry ‘Junkyard Dogs’ we forage through another spectacular round of Super(b) Rugby and thanks to our friends at BeefEater and AppliancesOnline we have a tender little lineup of ‘Super Sizzlers’ fresh off the grill. The fellas also have a deep dive into the triumphant Super(b) Rugby W final, breaking down how the Waratahs dismantled the Drua to run the board in a spectacular undefeated winning season. Obviously, we understand that we have fans from both sides of the equator that join us week in and week out to bloody ‘Schmidt this thing in’, so we have served up an extra juicy NHL’s segment this week with flavours from Japan, England and the self-proclaimed leaders of the free world. Plus, it would be completely LOCO if KOKO didn't have a special guest, so we have lined up a Brumbies young blood that is on his way back to the promised land.

This week on the KOKO show we give you the old school two guest turnaround, that's right more bloody exclusives than the humble rugby fan can poke a stick at. First up the lads run you through a hilarious Goit inspired ‘Social Snitches’ from fourteen years ago, we also dive into everything Super(b) Rugby with another lashing of ‘Super Sizzlers’ brought to you by our friends at BeefEater and Appliances Online. Then we really turn this mofo up to a ten, the KOKO crew have an exclusive first time interview with a dear friend of the show and new Western Force recruit, the one and only Mr Kurtley ‘KB’ Beale. But as wise men have always said, one guest is cute, and two guests are totally SLAY. That is right we have doubled up for all our NHL’s (Northern Hemisphere Legends) and we have brought you the little legend from Leeds and the hottest half in the business, so please get your pump on and quaff your hair for the lightweight lothario that is Danny Care. So kick back and relax as we wrap up the world of rugby like a delicious midnight kebab after a session with Holiday Swoop.

This week on the KOKO show the boys lick their wounds from our Hong Kong bonanza as they detail the ups and downs of returning to normal non ‘holiday Swoop’ life. The crew also unpack a cheeky way to rehab an injury in this week's instalment of ‘Social Snitches’, plus we delve into another smashing dose of the Rugby Roundup and the lads also give their Super Sizzlers brought to you by BeefEater, from week 8 of the Superb Rugby Season. The KOKO Show isn't known for much, but one thing we hang our hat on is innovation, and this week we bring you two brand new segments, ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ - where we take a deep dive into all the rugby news North of the equator. The second new segment is a little gem entitled ‘The Halfway Wallabies Starting XV’, where the boys are given five positions each and they name their team as if it were picked tomorrow. This week we are joined by another very special guest, a gentle giant from across the ditch, a man known for his delectably destructive derriere, he might be all glute but his stardom is absolute, it is the one and only Mr Caleb Clarke. So, as the days get shorter and the nights cooler, slip into our warm cup of KOKO and let this episode massage all your stress away.

As promised, the KOKO Crew took on the Hong Kong Sevens and some may say we lost, but we maintain the dragon is slain. Thanks to the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Cathay Pacific and Ovolo Hotels for giving the show an experience of a lifetime, we went to the Sha Tin Racecourse, saw the city lights on a Aqua Luna Junk Boat, enjoyed some delicious food at the Stanley Street Dai Pai Dong, took in the views from The Peak and drank in all the red hot rugby action from the 10s and the 7s. With the Hong Kong Sevens being one of rugby’s Meccas we were inundated with hall-of-fame guests including Dan Carter, Victor Matfield, Schalk Burger and Duane Vermeulen. Plus, we also jagged a few current superstars Maddi Levi, Charlotte Caslick and Michael Hooper throughout the course of the weekend for a chat. This show is cover to cover action, laughs and a smattering of debauchery, as the lads tackled the Vertical City. To cap off the show we have delivered a second instalment of ‘KOKO Carnage’ that will leave our Melbourne adventure in its wake. So please sit back, relax and pour yourself a stiff drink, as this will leave your nerve endings fried.

Plus, we delve into everyone’s Supper Sizzlers brought to you by BeefEater from week six of ‘Superb’ Rugby, so stay tuned to see who sizzled and seared in the eyes of the KOKO Crew. As is the motto of our show, one guest is fun, but two guests is a bloody great time.

His big boy energy will fill your eyes and ears for a ripper of a time, we guarantee an episode full of great yarns, belly laughs and a quiz to end all quizzes.

This week on The KOKO Show we rounded all the boys up after a big weekend of celebration as two of our wonderful Wallabies turned 40. As we nurse sore heads and bruised egos we are also joined by one of the best fly-halves to pull on the gold jersey, the one and only ‘Iceman’, Mr Bernard Foley. Once again we welcome back the “Super Sizzler” brought to you by our new friends at BeefEater, where the lads break down who sizzled for them in the week of Super Rugby. The lads have dissected and pulled apart the whole weekend of rugby to find their hidden gems within the 5th round of ‘Superb Rugby’. We then put the ‘Nard Dog’ on the hot plate grilling him about his highlights and lowlights from what continues to be a very successful career. He talks about all the success he is having in Japan, what it was like to win the Super Rugby with the 'Tahs and he leaves the door open for a 2024 Wallabies call up. So forget about Maverick and throw away Goose it is time to fly solo with our very own ‘Iceman’. Pour yourself a double rumbo, order a succulent Chinese meal and crawl into your favourite snuggie as we get into the swing of Spring.

For guest number two, we stayed in ‘Burn City’, as we were joined by Super(b) W superstar and former Wallaroos captain Grace Hamilton, to discuss her return to Australian rugby and what we can expect from the women's game in 2024 and beyond.

Ladies and gentlemen we have arrived. It is safe to say that ‘Kick Offs and Kick Ons’ has launched with a bang. Prof and the boys clean out the cobwebs from a big off-season and are ready to run the ball straight into the upcoming rugby season. On ‘The KOKO Show’ this week we unveil our brand new ‘less is more’ set and outline our never ending quest for that rugby union sponsorship dough. Just as Australian rugby hits rock bottom we are there to catch them, as we cleanse the soul of the last 12 months and get excited for the appointment of new Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt and the Wallaroos’ hiring of Joanne Yapp as the first full time Australian women's head coach. We have saged off the evils of Eddie and now we are ready to ‘Schmidt it in’. Although we are an Australian show, from time to time we like to take a little sojourn north of the Equator. That's right we are bringing you a brand new segment to start the season called ‘The Six Nations Summation’ with the help of a rugby Immortal, the one and only Jonny Wilkinson. We also delve into his rich rugby career and the time he spent tearing up Toulon with Gits and Drew. As always, if it ain't broke don't fix it, we are bringing back the Quiz in 2024 and let’s see if Jonny knows more about himself than the boys do. So dust off your RM’s, steam your favourite polo shirt then sit back and enjoy as the KOKO show brings you all you need to know about the beautiful game of rugby. 00:00 - INTRODUCTIONS 02:40 - WELCOME BACKS 04:40 - WHAT'S COMING UP ON THE SHOW THE SHOW 06:04 - NEW SET DESCRIPTION 09:04 - SPONSOR UPDATE AND OPPORTUNITY 10:18 - SOCIALS PLUG 10:52 - PERTH SEVENS RECAP 14:05 - SUPER ROUND PLUG WITH THE KOKO SHOW (LINK BELOW) 16:00 - WALLABIES 2024 FIXTURES AND NEW CATCHPHRASE 19:59 - GITS PRESEASON, ARMY CAMP AND COMEDY SET 20:59 - AUSTRALIAN COACHING APPOINTMENTS (SCHMIDT AND YAPP)/ HIGH PERFORMANCE 26:13 - SIX NATIONS SUMMATION 29:11 - INTRODUCE AND WELCOME JONNY WILKINSON 29:50 - ITALY V ENGLAND REVIEW 33:57 - WALES V SCOTLAND REVIEW 40:37 - FRANCE V IRELAND REVIEW 44:09 - SIX NATIONS ROUND 2 PREDICTIONS 45:09 - DREW AND GITS PLAYING WITH JONNY AT TOULON 58:48 - JONNY BOOK STORY 1:00:25 - THE GOLDEN CHILD 1:04:56 - WILKO'S MENTAL AND PHYSICAL STRUGGLES 1:15:55 - JONNY’S TRAMPOLINING MISHAP 1:21:37 - THE 2003 WORLD CUP FINAL AND LIFE AFTER THE KICK 1:33:29 - ADVICE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER 1:37:17 - QUIZ Who knows what the future holds but this is going to be a hell of a lot of fun!
