• The KOKO Show Minus Sicky Swoop Penalises The RC for Being too Tangy and too Tight

  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.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 00:36 - The boys are missing Swoop 01:19 - Intro to the show 03:56 - KOKO learnings 16:02 - WALLABIES V LOS PUMAS REVIEW 24:31 - Refereeing discussion 29:37 - Should the Wallabies start their bench players?32:57 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS REVIEW 39:53 - PREDICTIONS FOR THE RC41:25 - The lads chat Super Rugby AUS47:09 - The boys try to facetime Swoop 47:53 - The KOKO Quiz 53:05 - The Wallaroos’ World Cup Campaign 57:19 - Semi-Final predictions 01:00:28 - Other Rugby News 01:03:27 - KOKO is looking to use Patreon 01:05:30 - 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 [email protected].

• Will Skelton Gives KOKO a Big Bled Scoop! Plus, Two of the Best Wallaroos Join us from England

  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 [email protected].

• KOKO Previews Round 3 of ‘The RC’ and Wallaroo Michaela Leonard joins us from York!

  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 [email protected].

• Castrogiovanni and Lori Cramer Join KOKO to Chat World Cup Wins and a Topsy Turvy TRC

  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 [email protected].

• The Wallabies Break a 62 Year Drought and KOKO lets Shimmy Hear all About It!

  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 [email protected].
