THE WALLABIES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT CRASHING BACK TO EARTH!

After all the hype, hope and belief that this could finally be Australia's year, the All Blacks delivered a brutal reality check at Eden Park in Bledisloe 1. The Wallabies were blown off the park, and now the big question is whether they can pick themselves up, dust themselves off and bounce back in Sydney for Bledisloe 2.

The KOKO Show is back for Episode 34 as Gits, Drew, Swoop and Prof dissect the Eden Park demolition, uncover where it all went wrong for the Wallabies and debate what needs to change if Australia is any chance of turning the tables on the All Blacks in Sydney.

We're also joined by former All Black Brad Weber, who gives us the Kiwi perspective on the Eden Park smash job, reveals what New Zealand really thinks of this Wallabies side and shares his predictions for the second Bledisloe showdown.

The boys crown Jordie Barrett this week's Cape Mentelle Uncompromising Character, while the All Blacks' ruthless ability to turn pressure into points from anywhere on the park earns the Santos Energy Where It Matters Moment of the Week.

PLUS, thanks to Rugby World Cup Experiences, we tackle one of rugby's biggest debates: Is Australia v New Zealand REALLY rugby's greatest rivalry? Or has a quarter-century of All Blacks dominance taken the shine off one of the game's most iconic contests?

And the KOKO family is getting BIGGER! We're absolutely stoked to welcome Hahn and Pillar Performance as brand-new sponsors of the show. Two cracking brands joining the KOKO madness — welcome to the family, legends!

Plenty of rugby, plenty of arguments and absolutely no shortage of Kiwi smugness.

It's all happening on Episode 34 of The KOKO Show!

LET'S GET INTO IT!

24 YEARS OF PAIN. ONE MASSIVE CHANCE TO END IT.

The Wallabies haven’t lifted the Bledisloe Cup since 2002. They haven’t beaten the All Blacks at Eden Park since 1986. But after knocking off the back-to-back World Champion Springboks, could THIS finally be the Wallabies side that rewrites history?

The KOKO Show is back for Episode 33 with the ultimate Bledisloe Cup preview. Gits, Drew, Swoop and Prof break down the Wallabies’ chances, the Eden Park hoodoo, where the All Blacks can be beaten and whether Australia can finally bring the Bledisloe Cup home after 24 long years.

The boys also take a walk down memory lane, revisiting some of the greatest Bledisloe performances of years gone by to crown this week’s Cape Mentelle Uncompromising Character.

Back home, the Western Force are Super Rugby AUS Champions after taking down the Waratahs in the Final. The boys unpack the decider, while the Force’s BIG THREE — Kurtley Beale, Nick Dolly and Dylan Pietsch — earn the Santos Energy Where It Matters Moment of the Week after huge performances when it mattered most.

Then things get loose with Prof’s Big Rugby Questions, before another edition of KOKO’s Audiobook Club thanks to Audible.

And finally, it’s time for THE FINALS BRACKETOLOGY thanks to Rugby World Cup Experiences. The boys work their way through the potential 2027 Rugby World Cup knockout stages and, through a completely unbiased and highly scientific process, officially crown the WALLABIES 2027 RUGBY WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS!

BLEDISLOE. EDEN PARK. 24 YEARS OF PAIN.

IS THIS FINALLY THE YEAR?

Enjoy the show, you absolute legends!

The Wallabies have done the impossible!

The KOKO Show is back after one of the wildest Test matches we’ve ever seen, as the Wallabies take down the back-to-back World Champion Springboks in absolute chaos! The boys break down the madness, including the TMO PHONE DISASTER and an unbelievable final 10 minutes that saw Australia reduced to just 11 men against 15. Somehow, the Wallabies dug in, refused to break and produced one of the gutsiest finishes you’ll ever see. Aussie spirit at its finest — and our Santos Energy Where It Matters Moment of the Week.

We’re also joined by Wallabies and Western Force flyer Dylan Pietsch! Dylan chats about his journey, his footy, life at the Force and the speed, power and physicality he brings to Australian Rugby.

There’s plenty more Aussie rugby to celebrate, with the Wallaroos getting the job done against Scotland, while the boys wrap up all the Super Rugby AUS action and look ahead to a HUGE Western Force v Waratahs FINAL this weekend.

Ryan Lonergan takes home our Cape Mentelle Uncompromising Character of the Week before the lads pull out the crystal ball and make their WAY TOO EARLY Rugby World Cup Round of 16 predictions — all thanks to Rugby World Experiences.

GO ALL OUT!

Enjoy you beautiful KOKO-Nutters!

WALLABIES CAPTAIN HARRY WILSON joins The KOKO Show ahead of Australia’s massive showdown with the SPRINGBOKS in Perth!

With the Wallabies preparing to take on the best in the world, Harry takes us INSIDE WALLABIES CAMP to reveal how the squad is feeling, how they’re preparing for the Boks and what Australia needs to do to knock off the world champions on Sunday.

We also check in on the skipper himself — how he’s handling the demands of a huge international season, what it means to lead the Wallabies and whether the boys genuinely believe they can take down the Springboks in Perth.

PLUS, the boys break down the WALLAROOS’ thrilling close call against FRANCE and why another strong performance shows Australian women’s rugby is heading in the right direction ahead of a HOME RUGBY WORLD CUP in 2029.

Then… WHAT HAPPENED IN ROMA?!

The KOKO boys are back in the studio after a huge weekend at the SANTOS FESTIVAL OF RUGBY, where the WARATAHS DUSTED THE REDS, KOKO packed out the Club Hotel for a wild LIVE SHOW and the boys enjoyed everything Roma had to offer.

We also launch our brand-new segment — THE SANTOS ENERGY WHERE IT MATTERS MOMENT OF THE WEEK — celebrating the play, decision or turning point that delivered when it mattered most.

We wrap up all the SUPER RUGBY AUS action, tell a few questionable tales from the KOKO road trip and start counting down to the CAPE MENTELLE RUGBY LONG LUNCH on the 15TH OF OCTOBER!

HARRY WILSON. WALLABIES v SPRINGBOKS. WALLAROOS. SUPER RUGBY AUS. ROMA. AND PLENTY OF KOKO CHAOS.

ENJOY, YOU BEAUTIFUL KOKO-NUTTERS!

The KOKO Show is back for Episode 30 and this week it’s just the boys on the couch getting stuck into a massive week of rugby!

First up, the Springboks have officially wrapped up Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, finishing the series 3-1 over the All Blacks after another huge showdown in Baltimore. With the Boks continuing to dominate world rugby, the boys ask the big question — are these Springboks the greatest team ever?

Then we turn our attention to the Wallabies, as the lads go through the newly announced squad and break down the big selections, who could make the difference and, most importantly… how the hell can the Wallabies beat the Springboks in two weeks?!

There’s plenty more Aussie footy to unpack, with the Wallaroos pushing the Red Roses in England, while Super Rugby Aus gets underway with big wins for the Western Force and Waratahs.

And with no guest to keep the boys under control, we finish things off with a game of ‘Who Is This Teammate?’ — putting Gits, Drew and Swoop’s knowledge of their former teammates to the ultimate test.

No guest. No filter. Plenty of footy and the usual amount of KOKO chaos.

Enjoy you beautiful KOKO-Nutters!

The KOKO Show is BACK after another massive weekend of international rugby!

The boys get stuck into the WALLABIES’ dramatic draw with ARGENTINA in Mendoza — where did Australia let it slip and what needs to change before they face the SPRINGBOKS in Perth? With CARTER GORDON sidelined through injury, the lads also dive deep into the big question facing Australian rugby — WHO WEARS THE WALLABIES NO.10 JERSEY?

Then it’s RUGBY’S GREATEST RIVALRY, as the SPRINGBOKS come from behind to beat the ALL BLACKS in an epic third Test and add another incredible chapter to this heavyweight rivalry. Moreover, the lads discuss in depth whether RGR has been a success on a global scale.

PLUS, we welcome one of the brightest young talents in Australian rugby — REDS YOUNG GUN TREYVON PRITCHARD! Treyvon chats about his rapid rise, life at the Reds and why he could be a huge part of the Wallabies’ future.

And finally… DADDY SWOOP IS GOING TO SURVIVOR! The boys celebrate Swoop being announced as a contestant on the newest season of AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR — and naturally, they’ve got a few questions about how long he’ll last!

Another huge week of footy, carry-on and KOKO chaos. ENJOY YOU BEAUTIFUL KOKO-NUTTERS!

This week on The KOKO Show, the boys dive deep into the WALLABIES’ massive win over Argentina, making it FOUR WINS ON THE TROT! We break down where the Test was won and lost, the players who stood up and why the second match on the road in Argentina is always one of the toughest assignments in world rugby.

Then we head over to Cape Town to catch up with a slightly hungover All Blacks legend and Rugby World Cup hero STEPHEN ‘BEAVER’ DONALD! Beaver joins the boys to unpack the SPRINGBOKS’ win over the ALL BLACKS in Game Two of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, the planes flying frighteningly close to the stadium roof and the bizarre post-match coaches’ disagreement over exactly “WHO WAS WALKING AROUND?”

Plus, we put our great guest to the test with a brand-new game called ‘LEAVE IT TO BEAVER’, before tackling one of rugby’s most important debates — WHO ARE THE HOTTEST RUGBY PLAYERS OF ALL TIME?

And finally, the Cape Mentelle Uncompromising Character of the Week goes to none other than FRASER McREIGHT — Australia’s HEAVYWEIGHT RED — after another enormous performance in gold.

Wallabies winning, Beaver battling a hangover, coaches arguing and rugby’s hottest men being ranked. Just another week on The KOKO Show.

ENJOY YOU BEAUTIFUL KOKO-NUTTERS!
