    Tom Wright Carves Up KOKO and the French are Crowned Champions of Europe

    This week on The KOKO Show we are taking it back to the old school and dishing up only one succulent rugby meal for week 7 of the show. You guys have begged and bartered for us to take it back to the old form and we have listened. But fear not our ‘Ra Ra’ infected rugrats we have not deprived you of any awesome footy flavoured goodness. In this week's show the lads drape themselves in blue and start a second revolution to celebrate the very French finish to this year's Six Nations title, illuminating where 'Les Bleus' got it right and how the rest of the pack just fell short. Plus, our beautiful battlers are joined by a very special guest this week, he was one of the Wallabies most impactful players in 2024 and this year for the Brumbies he is stealing the show. Please welcome the rugby union renegade who is waxed from top to toe and lasered everywhere in between, he is the hairless boy wonder and friend of the show Mr Tom Wright. The lads get down and dirty with Tom Wright, talking about the Brumbies in 2025, his personal growth at the international level and why his very own brother dropped him in Fantasy Super Rugby. Finally, the KOKO Crew give you their ‘ Top 5 Takeaways’ from week five of the Superb Rugby competition, as well as honouring a brand new batch of ‘Locked In Lions’. So book in for your fortnightly mani/pedi, throw some cucumber over the windows to your soul and just let the decadent tones of four grown men talking absolute garbage cleanse your being.

    Super Rugby is Flying in 2025 and the Six Nations is Coming Down to the Wire

    This week on The KOKO Show we put all our shit aside and moved footy to the fore, breaking down all the round 4 action from both the Superb Rugby and Six Nations. The lads can't resist hooping and hollering at the hot throbbing product that is Super Rugby Pacific 2025, as they discuss a week of footy that was packed full of upstarts, uprisings and upsets. Within our new segment ‘KOKO’s Top 5 Takeaways’ the crew highlights how the Waratahs have found their fire, the Brumbies have built themselves a backbone and just how beautiful a weekend is when only one Kiwi team wins. Plus, these pheromone sodden phenoms take a little walk on the wild side as they unpack all the action from up north in the ‘Six Nations Summation’, bringing light to the fearless French, interrogating the incompetent Irish and somewhat extinguishing the excitable English. Moreover, with only one round left in the greatest rugby competition in the world, the boys have a little look and spirited debate about who holds poll position heading into their final 80 minutes. Lastly, we are joined briefly by the Aussie breaker of English hearts and Waratahs young gun Mr Max Jorgensen (full interview on Thursday) for a little chinwag about his red hot form in Super Rugby and the guys get down and dirty as they immerse themselves in a Quiz. So, throw the kids on the ipad, leave everything in the sink, pop a couple xannies and melt into your well weathered lazy-boy, it’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

    KOKO goes LOCO for Super Rugby and Carlo Tizzano Stirs up some Beef with Curry.

    In this week’s first spoonful of The KOKO Show you all get treated to a tasty charcuterie board of fine footy yummies. This week the lads decided to do the ‘Superb Rugby Roundup’ a little differently, instead of winding their way through every game one by one, they decided to tackle another cracking week of domestic footy by illuminating their ‘Top 5 Talking points’. Moreover, with this new found angle and creative direction, the fellas have conjured up some of the best and most beautiful rugby punditry money can buy, as they deep dive on how all the Aussie teams are shaping up after three weeks, as well as establishing a mutual agreement that no Super Rugby team has hit their straps just yet. Plus, after the boys clean themselves up from that sensual Super Rugby session of common sense, they add to their tally of ‘Locked in Lions’ and finally they finish with a truly edge of your seat installment of the KOKO Quiz. So sheer your sheep, milk those cows and collect the eggs, because Old MacDonald has a f*****g good podcast for you to listen to. It is time for episode nine of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

    Finn Russell Breaks Down the Loss to England and Chats all Things The Lions Tour

    This week on The KOKO Show our first instalment is jam packed wall to wall with the game they play in heaven as we break down all the action from across the Six Nations and Super Rugby. With so much ‘ra ra’ to rummage through we thought it would be sensible to enlist a very special guest to make sense of it all. Our guest this week is such a big deal in the world of rugby the fact he is on our dinky little show either means there was an administrative error or he is just straight up crazy. This fella is without a doubt one of the best number 10’s in the world, he hates an untidy house, his favourite film is anchorman and boy he can whip up a mean carbonara, so please put your hands together for Mr Finn Russell. With Finn in toe, we discuss and dissect all the Six Nations action from over the weekend which saw England win back the Calcutta Cup, the Irish down the resilient Welsh and the French flog the abysmal Azzurri. Furthermore, Mr Russell talks about his excitement surrounding the upcoming Lions Tour and he has promised the KOKO Crew a couple of big nights out on him. Plus, the lads also get silky with a sublime second round of Super Rugby, illuminating all the reasons as to why it is the best domestic competition in the world. So slip on your kilts, pour yourself a Scotch and let the breeze blow between your cheeks, because this show will be a super sensual yet very Scottish sensory overload.
