    The Lions are Here and the KOKO Crew are Getting Excited as Test Match Time Rolls Around

    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.

    Sekope Kepu Packs in Tight with KOKO as the Lions Arrive in Perth

    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.

    The Oracle Wayne Smith joins KOKO and We Can Smell The Lions Coming

    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. So, book yourself a Swedish hot stone massage, sip on the complementary ice cold cucumber water and bluetooth your way into some KOKO bliss.

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.

    Mack Hansen and Sione Tuipulotu Stop by KOKO to Celebrate their Lions Selection

    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.
