    Ma’a Nonu is the Larger than Life Centre of attention this week on The KOKO Show

    Ma’a Nonu is the Larger than Life Centre of attention this week on The KOKO Show

    This week on The KOKO Show the lads go wall to wall footy with a couple of cheeky yarns sprinkled into the mix. We deliver a comprehensive ‘Rugby Roundup’ segment unpacking and unfurling Round 12 of the Super(b) Rugby, illuminating the teams that are in the hunt for glory and the others that can start preparing for a debaucherous Mad Monday.
    With this in mind the lads don their outdoor aprons armed with their lucky tongs and serve you guys a smokey and saucy selection of ‘Super Sizzlers’, thanks to our friends at BeefEater and AppliancesOnline. We also dive into the unfortunate result for the Wallaroos in their first test match of the year, as they went down to the maple syrup crushing Canadians in Sydney.
    However, this week our piste de resistance is currently considered a ‘Northern Hemisphere Legend’, but really is a Southern Hemi Sensation. This man is widely considered as one of the greatest centres the rugby world has ever seen, a man so bold he refuses to get old, with nicknames like ‘The Tank’ and ‘The Rock’ opposing player often felt liquid filling their sock. This man is a gentleman and a scholar so please stand up and holla, yes of course, it is the one and only Mr Ma’a Nonu.
    So sit back, get yourself a plate with all the fixings and slip into your Sunday best as we spread another ‘Two-Time’ RWC champ across your soundwaves. That's right, it’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

    Cheslin Kolbe chats to the KOKO Show about Winning World Cups and What Wingers really do.

    This time around on The KOKO Show the boys have a special treat with an all-time Northern Hemisphere Legend and Springbok speedster, a man with fast feet and an even faster car collection. You better bloody believe it, we chat to the king of the Cape and a hero in headgear Mr Cheslin Kolbe.
    The boys also dish out an all you can eat serving of the Rugby Roundup, topped with an extra spicy Suber(b) Sizzler garnish thanks to our mates at BeefEater and AppliancesOnline. We then round out this mouth watering walk through the rugby world with a couple of new segments entitled ‘What’s Drewing?’ and the boys ‘Debate the Top Eight.’
    So sit back, relax and drink in the serenity as we go on a footy safari to see ‘The Big Five’ loose units in their natural habitat. We beg you to be chipper for Cheslin, fabulous for footy, nuts about the North and hit a long smoko for KOKO. It's time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

    This Week Noah Lolesio floods The KOKO Show with fun and footy.

    This Week Noah Lolesio floods The KOKO Show with fun and footy.

    This week on The KOKO Show the lads are horsing around and bathing in the sweet sweet nectar of the Brumbies win over the previously undefeated Hurricanes. Much like a pack of hungry ‘Junkyard Dogs’ we forage through another spectacular round of Super(b) Rugby and thanks to our friends at BeefEater and AppliancesOnline we have a tender little lineup of ‘Super Sizzlers’ fresh off the grill.
    The fellas also have a deep dive into the triumphant Super(b) Rugby W final, breaking down how the Waratahs dismantled the Drua to run the board in a spectacular undefeated winning season. Obviously, we understand that we have fans from both sides of the equator that join us week in and week out to bloody ‘Schmidt this thing in’, so we have served up an extra juicy NHL’s segment this week with flavours from Japan, England and the self-proclaimed leaders of the free world.
    Plus, it would be completely LOCO if KOKO didn't have a special guest, so we have lined up a Brumbies young blood that is on his way back to the promised land. A man that has more footy smarts than Gits has gold bullion buried under his house, the fresh faced flyhalf of the future, the Ken amongst us mortal men, the one and only ‘bad boi Brumby’ himself Mr Noah Lolesio. So dust off your chaps, tighten your bridal and tip your Akubra to another real roughie of a podcast.
    It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

    Danny Care and an exclusive interview with Kurtley Beale on The KOKO Show

    This week on the KOKO show we give you the old school two guest turnaround, that's right more bloody exclusives than the humble rugby fan can poke a stick at.
    First up the lads run you through a hilarious Goit inspired ‘Social Snitches’ from fourteen years ago, we also dive into everything Super(b) Rugby with another lashing of ‘Super Sizzlers’ brought to you by our friends at BeefEater and Appliances Online.
    Then we really turn this mofo up to a ten, the KOKO crew have an exclusive first time interview with a dear friend of the show and new Western Force recruit, the one and only Mr Kurtley ‘KB’ Beale. But as wise men have always said, one guest is cute, and two guests are totally SLAY.
    That is right we have doubled up for all our NHL’s (Northern Hemisphere Legends) and we have brought you the little legend from Leeds and the hottest half in the business, so please get your pump on and quaff your hair for the lightweight lothario that is Danny Care.
    So kick back and relax as we wrap up the world of rugby like a delicious midnight kebab after a session with Holiday Swoop.

    The KOKO Show is trampled by All Black flyer Caleb Clarke

    The KOKO Show is trampled by All Black flyer Caleb Clarke

    This week on the KOKO show the boys lick their wounds from our Hong Kong bonanza as they detail the ups and downs of returning to normal non ‘holiday Swoop’ life. The crew also unpack a cheeky way to rehab an injury in this week's instalment of ‘Social Snitches’, plus we delve into another smashing dose of the Rugby Roundup and the lads also give their Super Sizzlers brought to you by BeefEater, from week 8 of the Superb Rugby Season. The KOKO Show isn't known for much, but one thing we hang our hat on is innovation, and this week we bring you two brand new segments, ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ - where we take a deep dive into all the rugby news North of the equator. The second new segment is a little gem entitled ‘The Halfway Wallabies Starting XV’, where the boys are given five positions each and they name their team as if it were picked tomorrow. This week we are joined by another very special guest, a gentle giant from across the ditch, a man known for his delectably destructive derriere, he might be all glute but his stardom is absolute, it is the one and only Mr Caleb Clarke. So, as the days get shorter and the nights cooler, slip into our warm cup of KOKO and let this episode massage all your stress away.

    KOKO Show’s Hong Kong Extravaganza with Carter, Matfield, Burger, Caslick, Levi, Hooper & Vermeulen.

    KOKO Show’s Hong Kong Extravaganza with Carter, Matfield, Burger, Caslick, Levi, Hooper & Vermeulen.

    As promised, the KOKO Crew took on the Hong Kong Sevens and some may say we lost, but we maintain the dragon is slain. Thanks to the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Cathay Pacific and Ovolo Hotels for giving the show an experience of a lifetime, we went to the Sha Tin Racecourse, saw the city lights on a Aqua Luna Junk Boat, enjoyed some delicious food at the Stanley Street Dai Pai Dong, took in the views from The Peak and drank in all the red hot rugby action from the 10s and the 7s.
    With the Hong Kong Sevens being one of rugby’s Meccas we were inundated with hall-of-fame guests including Dan Carter, Victor Matfield, Schalk Burger and Duane Vermeulen. Plus, we also jagged a few current superstars Maddi Levi, Charlotte Caslick and Michael Hooper throughout the course of the weekend for a chat.
    This show is cover to cover action, laughs and a smattering of debauchery, as the lads tackled the Vertical City. To cap off the show we have delivered a second instalment of ‘KOKO Carnage’ that will leave our Melbourne adventure in its wake.
    So please sit back, relax and pour yourself a stiff drink, as this will leave your nerve endings fried.
    We present the life and times of Holiday Swoop featuring the KOKO Crew, it’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
