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.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 05:29 - Fathers Day and KOKO Learnings 13:36 - WALLABIES V ARGENTINA REVIEW 21:28 - Introduce Will Skelton 24:50 - Will’s take on the Wallabies win26:01 - What it was like for Will to watch and not play 28:33 - Will on Harry Wilson's leadership30:40 - Will on Len Ikitau 32:20 - Will on the shape variation shown by the Wallabies 34:46 - Will on signing his contract too early 35:30 - Will on returning for the Bledisloe Cup 37:40 - Will’s niggle in the Lions Series and the Sydney lightning delay 40:39 - Will’s biggest learning from playing overseas 43:34 - Farewell to Will Skelton 45:17 - Welcome Ash Marsters and Trilleen Pomare 48:01 - The Wallaroos didn't get to meet Princess Kate49:39 - The girls talk about the attitude in camp heading into the QF’s50:34 - Learnings from the England game that can be used against Canada 52:00 - How is this World Cup different from the others you have played?53:02 - How can you guys beat Canada? 53:50 - What is Ash Marsters fav position on the pitch? 54:40 - The girls chat about Brighton 56:08 - Farewell to the Wallaroos 58:17 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS REVIEW 01:05:31 - No TRC in 2026 01:07:54 - Budgy Smuggler and KOKO Merch plug 01:09:34 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf 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 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.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 02:51 - KOKO learnings 11:11 - KOKO’s Body Fat Challenge 17:24 - Rugby Round Up Segment 18:13 - WALLABIES V ARGENTINA PREVIEW34:20 - WALLABIES V ARGENTINA PREDICTIONS 36:08 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS PREVIEW42:02 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS PREDICTIONS44:52 - KOKO QUIZ 49:29 - Introduce Michaela Leonard50:55 - The boys ask about being a Vet Physio53:05 - Michaela on the draw with the USA55:05 - Michaela on how the squad has grown 56:21 - Michaela on Caitlyn Halse’s performances 57:29 - What can we expect from England?59:14 - Things to do in York 01:00:47 - The importance of defence against England 01:01:35 - How can the Wallaroos make the quarters? 01:03:44- The boys tell Michaela how to beat England 01:06:26 - BENCH, START AND DROP01:09:46 - AUSSIE CLUB RUGBY RESULTS 01:13:21 - Shane Christie tribute 01:14:34 - Budgy Smuggler Pjs 01:15:11 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf 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 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.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 02:36 - Intro Martin Castrogiovanni 05:42 - KOKO Learnings 11:44 - SPRINGBOKS V WALLABIES REVIEW 20:08 - ARGENTINA V ALL BLACKS REVIEW 25:20 - What does Castro do for work?26:15 - Castro’s time in Toulon 28:21 - Memories of playing for Italy v the Wallabies 30:00 - Castro’s start in rugby union33:01 - Castro’s run in with Richard Cockerill / the press conference 37:47 - Castro’s visits to the match tribunal 38:58 - Castro getting sacked by Racing 9245:27 - Castro’s rugby camps 48:19 - Castro’s Toulon teammates 51:16 - Troubles in Toulon 52:42 - The KOKO Quiz58:56 - The Lori Cramer interview 01:13:57 - Shute Shield Final Preview 01:15:41 - Budgy Smuggler Promo 01:16:43 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf 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 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.Sign up to get first access to Budgy Smugglers Limited Edition Wallabies Pyjamas: https://budgysmuggler.com.au/pages/wallabies-pyjamas-early-access?utm_source=KOKO&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=WallabiesPJsTIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show02:00 - Initial reactions to the Wallabies win03:18 - Introduce Shimmy04:57 - The reaction in South Africa 06:39 - South African changes for game 2 08:12 - South African fans in shock 10:12- How do South Africa nullify McReight 11:57 - What went wrong in the second half?14:05 - What did Rassie say after the game? 16:34 - the struggles of playing at altitude18:30 - Cocky SA fans at half time 21:50 - Siya Kolisi’s injury and the world rankings23:33 - Farewell to Shimmy24:56 - Best spots in Cape Town26:27 - SOUTH AFRICA V WALLABIES KOKO REVIEW35:00 - ARGENTINA V ALL BLACKS KOKO REVIEW40:45 - The KOKO Quiz 45:56 - The Bree-Anna Browne Wallaroos interview 48:11 - Wallaroos team bonding 50:00 - Prepping for match 1 against Samoa 52:37 - Wallaroos players to watch out for in England 56:39 - Bench, Start and Drop 01:01:14 - Merch Update Budgy Smuggler PJs out now 01:02:47 - Goit’s gripes with parents at Saturday sport 01:04:38 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf 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 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.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 03:24 - Prof’s David v Goliath debate 04:54 - KOKO Learnings 11:08 - WALLABIES V LIONS TEST MATCH 3 REVIEW16:19 - Guinness Perfect Pour Segment 22:23 - Prof’s Sexy Stats brought to you by Active Ops 28:20 - KOKO Lions Series Awards 35:40 - KOKO Lads Tour Highlights 40:58 - Looking forward to the TRC 41:52 - WALLAROOS V WALES REVIEW AND WC SQUAD43:38 - Merch Update 44:46 - Sponsor shoutouts 46:07 - The lads sum up the Lions Series 49:30 - Socials and website49:49 - Thanking the crew 50:44 - Sydney Carnage Package 01:02:34 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf 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 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.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 03:09 - KOKO Learnings 09:42 - WALLABIES V LIONS GAME 2 REVIEW 24:28 - Guinness Perfect Pour Segment 29:12 - Guinness Sydney Live Show plug 29:28 - KOKO welcomes George Gregan 32:48 - Greegs’ take on Test Match 2 34:00 - If Greegs was captain what would he have said at halftime?35:46 - Greegs’ take on the Gordon and Lynagh combo 37:05 - Greegs on why he wont lace the boots up again 40:07 - Drew talking about how Greegs used to say wingers shouldn’t go into touch41:20 - Greegs on where Aussie rugby is at right now 46:13 - Greegs on how good this Lions team is 47:58 - Greegs on that decision 50:09 - Greegs on John Eales as a captain 54:03 - The boys on what they learnt from George 01:01:02 - BENCH, START AND DROP01:05:52 - Sexy Stats brought to you by Active Ops01:08:34 - TAB Segment 01:11:09 - MJ Bale ticket plug 01:11:02 - WALLAROOS V WALES 01:11:55 - MERCH PLUG01:14:15 - KOKO Melbourne carnage packageBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us info@shtn.com.au.

Direct to you from Melbourne the KOKO Crew breakdown all the action from MCG, merely moments after Lions have clinched the 2025 series. The lads discuss their raw emotions after the Wallabies were dramatically pipped at the post in truly heartbreaking fashion. 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. As a nation we will get back up, dust ourselves off and get ready to go again in Sydney and beyond. Get ready for the KOKO Game 2 review Victorian style!

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.

Direct to you from Caxton Street in Brisbane the KOKO Crew breakdown all the action from Suncorp Stadium, merely moments after Lions clinched a 1-0 lead in the 2025 series. The lads discuss where the Lions excelled throughout the 80 minutes and where the Wallabies need to improve in Melbourne for game 2. 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.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show02:51 - KOKO’s Learnings 09:23 - Budgie Smuggler shoot and KOKO Collection (add tag) 11:56 - Rugby Round Up Segment - WALLABIES V FIJI REVIEW26:54 - The Perfect Pour brought to you by Guinness - Waratahs v Lions28:00 - Swoop’s perfect pour - Huw Jones’ game v Waratahs 30:11 - Bernard’s perfect pour - Charlie Gamble’s breakdown work31:39 - Drew’s perfect pour - The Lions players chatting to fans 33:10 - Matt’s perfect pour - Owen Farrell’s call up 37:42 - The boys split the G39:55 - The Guinness Live Show plug (add tag)41:27 - AUNZ INVITATIONAL TEAM V LIONS PREVIEW 46:04 - Felons Barrel Hall KOKO Live Show - Brisbane (add tag)47:09 - TAB ODDS SEGMENT - BRUMBIES V LIONS51:00 - International Rugby Scores 57:57 - ‘Which Lion was it Anyway?’ Segment 01:03:24 - Close of the Show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comBUDGY SMUGGLER CALL TO ACTION - SIGN UP FOR FIRST ACCESS OF ALL THE PRODUCTS. https://budgysmuggler.com.au/pages/wallabies-early-access?utm_source=KOKO&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Wallabies2025LIVE SHOWS:Brisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Felons Barrel Hallhttps://www.sevenrooms.com/x1pJ8HnMBrisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Wests Bulldogshttps://www.trybooking.com/DCHAWMake 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 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. They are bold, brash and barely bathed, which is not dissimilar to the four lads that do our show every week. It is time for another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

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.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show03:52 - Shout out to Guinness our Major Sponsor04:24 - KOKO Learnings10:39 - MJ Bale shout out for dressing the boys13:55 - The Perfect Pour brought to you by Guinness23:02 - The Guinness Live Shows plug25:02 - Introduce Sekope Kepu27:39 - Sekope on playing against the Lions28:50 - Sekope on coaching against the Lions in 202534:54 - Sekope on playing for Moana Pasifika36:54 - Bench, start and Drop41:20 - Sekope’s Lions Series Prediction49:44 - TAB Reds v Lions Watch Along Promo53:27 - CRUSADERS V CHIEFS REVIEW57:50 - KOKO’s Super Rugby Awards01:02:36 - The boys talk about the Wallabies Squad01:06:46 - Live Show plugs01:07:00 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comLIVE SHOWS:Brisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Felons Barrel Hallhttps://www.sevenrooms.com/x1pJ8HnMBrisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Wests Bulldogshttps://www.trybooking.com/DCHAWMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf 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 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 show06:30 - Announcement that Guinness is our Major Sponsor for The Lions Tour08:52 - 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 Brisbane51:49 - Rugby Round Up Segment 51:58 - CRUSADERS V BLUES REVIEW53:40 - 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 Brisbane01:16:00 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comLIVE SHOWS:Brisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Felons Barrel Hallhttps://www.sevenrooms.com/x1pJ8HnMBrisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Wests Bulldogshttps://www.trybooking.com/DCHAWMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf 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 band is back together to celebrate the fun, frivolity and fineries that finals footy has to offer. 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. So, book yourself a Swedish hot stone massage, sip on the complementary ice cold cucumber water and bluetooth your way into some KOKO bliss. It is now time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show03:15 - KOKO Learnings - The boys are playing footy again07:55 - Live Show dates are coming 08:34 - Swoop’s unregistered car story 11:00 - Drew meeting his rugby mentor in the Gold Coast 12:46 - Drew and Gits headed up to Brisbane to promote KOKO18:48 - Congratulations to Carlo Tizzano and Emma on their engagement 20:46 - Rugby Round Up Segment 21:04 - CRUSADERS V REDS REVIEW 24:04 - CHIEFS V BLUES REVIEW 26:00 - BRUMBIES V HURRICANES 29:06 - Super Rugby Semi Finals Predictions 32:55 - Introduce the Joe Rokocoko interview 34:43 - Joe talks about playing the KOKO boys 36:23 - Joe’s time in France 38:54 - Joe’s fondest memories in his career 40:15 - Joe’s biggest mentors 42:56 - Joe on playing against Wendell 45:31 - Joe’s try celebrations 48:28 - Best winger Joe ever faced 50:44 - Bench, Start and Drop 55:14 - Joe’s take on the current Blues side 55: 51 - Joe’s All Blacks back 3 58:08 - Joe’s take on the Wallabies v ABs59:13 - Joe’s prediction of the 2025 Lions Series 01:01:03 - Northern Hemisphere Legends Segment 01:05:22 - The Lion Tamers 01:07:22 - Other Rugby News 01:11:51 - One KOKO Quiz Question 01:13:01 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake 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 have pulled together an absolute humdinger of an episode for y’all, it has the perfect balance of flair, footy and funnies that will get the blood pumping to all your important places. To help us on that quest we enlisted the services of some Rugby Royalty, that is correct we have the Kiwi rig that every man and his dog could dig, a man with an aged pornstar handle-bar MO that would make even the most mild mannered spectator GO! Oooo baby please welcome our divine ruler Mr King Carlos Spencer. With the almighty ‘Los’ in toe, we discussed his playing career, his Mount Rushmore of teammates and what excites about his new coaching job in Ireland. Plus, we deliver you a full deluge of rugby takeaways from round 15 of the Superb Rugby, the conclusion of the Pac 4 Women’s Championship and the two European finals over the weekend that saw Bordeaux and Bath emerge the victors. That is right there is more rugby that you can poke a fucking stick at, as well as some more cracking Mad Monday yarns and finally, the lads lock down some locks in our newest installemt of the ‘Lion Tamers’. So brush your teeth and don't forget to floss, because much like gingivitis and oral plaque build up this episode is going to STICK! It is time now for an all new rendition of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 03:24 - KOKO Learnings 08:37 - Rugby Roundup Segment - Moana dropped the ball v the Chiefs10:51 - WARATAHS V FORCE REVIEW 15:05 - Are the Reds slipping? 17:00 - Super Rugby finals roadmap18:19 - Western Force season review 19:54 - John Mitchell Western Force story 24:55 - WALLAROOS V CANADA REVIEW 26:50 - BLACK FERNS V USA REVIEW 28:24 - EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS CUP REVIEW 32:54 - Introduce Carlos Spencer 35:00 - What is Carlos up to now? 36:03 - Carlos discusses the difference between NZ and AUS in women’s rugby38:40 - Carlos on why he likes coaching the women’s game 41:11 - Carlos on why he played with no fear 42:50 - Carlos on THAT try for Blues v Crusaders in 2004 45:27 - Carlos on playing with Rupeni Caucaunibuca47:58 - Bench, Start and Drop50:07 - Carlos v Larkham 51:43 - Carlos on his boxing career 55:59 - Carlos on his favourite player and favourite teammates 01:00:26 - Farewell to Carlos Spencer01:01:01 - EUROPEAN CHALLENGE CUP REVIEW - Finn Russell video 01:02:46 - Other Rugby News 01:05:00 - The Lion Tamers - The Locks 01:07:16 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf 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 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.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show01:29 - Gits explains why he is in London 02:45 - Intro to the show 06:01 - KOKO Learnings around Mothers Day09:22 - The KOKO boys discuss the Lions squad 13:57 - Sione Tuipulotu is back to talk about his Lions selection 14:41 - Sione talks about the moment his name was called out 20:51 - Sione talks about meeting the squad the squad for the first time 22:32 - Sione v Bundee Aki at training 23:11 - Sione on Mack Hansen 24:16 - Sione talks about the media attention about being and Aussie Lion 27:26 - Mack Hansen arrives on the KOKO Show 28:58 - Mack talks about when he found out the exciting Lions news 31:33 - Mack’s celebrations after the news 32:33 - Mack addresses the rumors his injury had him out of the tour 34:38 - Mack talks about what excites him about going on tour 35:34 - Mack talks about KOKO making him Tour Captain37:04 - Mack talks about his days touring with the Brumbies 38:37 - Mack will be single on tour with Drew 41:13 - Farewell to Mack 41:46 - The KOKO boys select their first four Lion Tamers 43:47 - The Rugby Round Up Segment - The boys talk about Taniela’s form48:17 - Joseph Suaalii injury and the Reds’ performance 49:44 - DRUA V BLUES REVIEW 51:07 - Brumbies and Reds are both peaking at the right time 52:16 - Western Force 20th Anniversary Celebrations 55:11 - The injuries in Australian Rugby 57:44 - WALLAROOS V BLACK FERNS REVIEW01:02:45 - Gits’ chat with Jamie Roberts 01:04:57 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf 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 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!TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 01:24 - Intro the show 03:00 - intro the boys 04:17 - Goits surgery 05:06 - Easter chat 07:20 - Other Rugby News: Spain bidding for RWC10:13 - Johnny Sexton in the Lions coaching staff 13:08 - RUNIT Straight competition 19:16 - Rugby Round-up - Top takeaways from week 10: James O’Connor 24:35 - The weather in NZ over the weekend 26:29 - The Super Point in Force v Hurricanes 28:17 - DRUA V WARATAHS REVIEW 35:03 - Introduce Billy Pollard 38:43 - Brumbies current form with Billy 39:15 - Billy’s try scoring form 44:50 - Billy on throwing lineouts 46:20 - The Billy Pollard story - in love 48:52 - Billy’s cartoon crush 50:35 - Billy on the Lions Series and chatting with coaches 52:06 - Billy on goal setting 57:03 - Bench, start and drop / Deserted Island question 01:00:35 - James Slipper is a bully 01:01:57 - Locked In Lions 01:06:46 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake 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 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.
