  • The Oracle Wayne Smith joins KOKO and We Can Smell The Lions Coming
    2025/06/17

    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.

  • Joe Rokocoko Comes on Board and Totally ‘Rocks-KOKO’ to its Core
    2025/06/10

    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.

The lads have a look at the last round of the Superb Rugby, whilst also previewing the upcoming Qualifying Finals, they chat about the finals footy landscape taking shape in Europe and finally who was crowned champion of the Japanese top league. In conclusion, we finish the show with another round of tough selections at the ‘Lion Tamer’ table, adding a plethora of great men to a squad who will confidently man handle those fragile feline phonies.

  • Ilona Maher Shows KOKO that She is More than Just the Biggest Name in Rugby
    2025/05/20

    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. It’s time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

  • Mack Hansen and Sione Tuipulotu Stop by KOKO to Celebrate their Lions Selection
    2025/05/13

    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.

  • Sione Tuipulotu is the Centre of Attention as KOKO Finalise their Locked in Lions
    2025/05/06

    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.

  • Ben Donaldson is a Perfect Ten, Adding a Little Credibility and Heaps of Hair to the KOKO Show

    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.
