• Nic White Retires for One Final Time on The KOKO Show…We Think!

  This week on the KOKO Show the whole gang is finally back together, Drew survived Perth, Goit is tucked away in Canberra and Swoop is done and dusted with his gruelling conference schedule. Plus, the lads are joined this week by the recently retired bow legged bad boy from Scone and one of the greatest Wallabies to ever lace them up, it is of course Mr Nic White. With Whitey in the wings the boys dissect the final round of the RC that saw the mighty Wallabies go down to the AB’s for the 11th time on the trot and the brave Boks claim a nail-bitting win over Los Pumas in London to claim their second title in as many years. In summation, this year’s RC will go down as one of the most competitive of all time and despite the stylish South Africans prevailing as the winners, all four sides will head into their spring tours buoyed with the knowledge they can beat anyone on their day. With the rugby on home soil all wrapped up for 2025, the lads turned their attention to Nic White’s career, giving the little maestro his flowers in celebration of everything he has done for rugby in Australia and they discuss what his plans are for the not too distant future. Finally, we finish the episode having a little look at the Waratahs’ big win over the Western Force in the Super Rugby AUS final, we have a deep dive into the world of R360 and to wrap it all up we share our fitness challenge progress as the silly season approaches all thanks to our dear friends at WHOOP. So sit back, relax and check your resting heart rate, because that SOB is about to go through the roof with an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

• KOKO is Back to Talk TRC Round 5 and it Feels so Damn (Tom) Wright

  This week on the KOKO Show we are back bigger, better and more bodacious after a much needed week off. The lads have rested their weary bodies and sharpened their footy minds in order to tackle this week's double dose of RC magic and to celebrate Mr Giteau's 43rd Birthday in style. On the show we went cover to cover on the Wallabies’ narrow loss to the All blacks at Eden Park, extending their unbeaten streak at the ‘Garden’ to 52 wins on the trot and we have a seriously deep gander at the weird and wacky result out of Durban that saw the Springboks slap the rumps of the Pumas to the tune of 67-30. Plus, the KOKO lads are joined by the Eastern Suburbs eshay and Canberra’s clippered up king Mr Tom Wright, to chat about how his ACL recovery is going, when we can expect him back on the pitch and what it was like to see James Slipper play his 150th Test Match over the weekend.With the boys getting older and the beers flowing more freely we checked back in on our KOKO Fitness Challenge to see how the lads are progressing or regressing in their goal to reach that ever elusive 10% body fat. However, thanks to our new friends at WHOOP the boys can track their journey and see in what areas they are excelling and where they need to lower the shoulders and partake in a couple of tough carries. Finally, we took some time to celebrate the mighty English Red Roses on their incredible World Cup win at Twickenham, as they took down those crazy Canadians 33-13 in some serious style. Congratulations Girls! So sit back, relax and get ready for a refreshed dose of debauchery, the boys are back with juice in the tank and love in their hearts to give you an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 02:44 - Matt Giteau gets delivered a birthday cake 05:15 - KOKO Learnings 09:15 - KOKO Weight Loss Challenge brought to you by WHOOP14:19 - ALL BLACKS V WALLABIES REVIEW24:14 - Patreon shout out 26:01 - Introduce Tom Wright 27:09 - Tom Wright’s recovery 27:52 - James Slippers 150th Cap29:00 - Tom Wright on Jorgo’s work at fullback 29:52 - The art of contested kicking 33:22 - Tom Wright on Ryan Lonergan’s debut 34:52 - Tom Wright on Billy Pollard 36:34 - Nic White is back in the squad 40:11 - Tom Wright's end of the year plans 42:58 - The KOKO Quiz 50:21 - SOUTH AFRICA V ARGENTINA REVIEW 54:56 - SUPER RUGBY AUS SCORES 56:16 - Congratulations to the English Red Roses on the RWC win57:34 - Other Rugby News 58:48 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

• The KOKO Show Minus Sicky Swoop Penalises The RC for Being too Tangy and too Tight

  This week on The KOKO Show we unshackled our chains, cut the bow lines loose and unloaded the dead weight, that is right Swoop is sick and there isn't a bloody guest within cooee of our glorious studio. Our thoughts and prayers were dispensed to a sick little boy on the couch called Swoop, whether it is the spring time sniffles, his hayfever ramping up or two cracking nights on the lash, a sick little puppy is a sick little puppy. Despite being down one of our valuable foot soldiers, Matt Giteau, Drew Mitchell and The Prof really stepped up to the plate and took some ‘big ole’ swings at analysing this topsy turvy, curly wurly and herky jerky RC competition. The lads cast their educated eyes over all the ra ra action from across the weekend, shedding light on how the Wallabies were a pack of naughty boys against the Pumas in Sydney and how the All Blacks got slapped silly in record setting style by the surging Springboks. Moreover, the boys armed with their footy IQ’s and a belly full of beer threw the proverbial leg over all the possible RC machinations in the hope of finding some clarity in this Even Steven season. Plus, we say farewell to the valiant Wallaroos from the 2025 Rugby World Cup, applauding their efforts and achievements in reaching the quarter-finals and showcasing the progress women's rugby has seen both on the pitch and in the stands. Congratulations girls, we couldn't be more proud! Finally, our Swoopless trio of heroes had a little look at the Super Rugby AUS matches from the weekend, expressing their highlights and low lights from the two matches that showcased the next generation of Aussie stars. It is clear due to the mercury rising that spring is springing and souls are singing for some of that rock hard Aussie vitamin D. So kick off your well oiled Chelsea boots and slide on those Positano purchased driving loafers, it is time for an all new episode of Kick Off and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 00:36 - The boys are missing Swoop 01:19 - Intro to the show 03:56 - KOKO learnings 16:02 - WALLABIES V LOS PUMAS REVIEW 24:31 - Refereeing discussion 29:37 - Should the Wallabies start their bench players?32:57 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS REVIEW 39:53 - PREDICTIONS FOR THE RC41:25 - The lads chat Super Rugby AUS47:09 - The boys try to facetime Swoop 47:53 - The KOKO Quiz 53:05 - The Wallaroos’ World Cup Campaign 57:19 - Semi-Final predictions 01:00:28 - Other Rugby News 01:03:27 - KOKO is looking to use Patreon 01:05:30 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

• Will Skelton Gives KOKO a Big Bled Scoop! Plus, Two of the Best Wallaroos Join us from England

  This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by three whopping guests, that is right we are bringing you a smorgasbord of footy talent that can only be found on a podcast hosted by three Wallabies has-beens and one footy wannabe. With the RC completing its third lap around the sun the boys are joined by everyone's favourite moustachioed mountain big Willy Skelton to chat about the Wallabies massive comeback against Los Pumas, as well as the Boks coming up short at Eden Park against the All Blacks. Plus, big Willy gives us an exclusive scoop as to whether or not this large lump of loveable energy is available for selection when the Bledisloe Cup comes around. As the RC hits its midway point the results have never been closer and the stakes have never been higher, thus the KOKO lads unpack all the machinations that could possibly unfold in what is shaping up to be a magical final three matches. Plus, we are joined all the way from Brighton by two of the best Wallaroos that have ever laced them up. Both of these ladies are part of the fantastically fabulous 40 Cap club and they are both playing in their third World Cup, so please welcome the formidable pairing of Ashley Marsters and Trilleen Pomare. As the Wallaroos head into their Quarter-Final match-up against the clinical Canadians the girls shed some light on what it will take to beat the 2nd best team in the world and progress even further into the tournament. Plus, Ash and Trill have a little bone to pick with the Royal Family as a certain majesty had a little more time for the rampant Roses compared to our wonderful Wallaroos. With that all being said, it is time to practice your bow and work on your curtsey, as we serve up a new King sized episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 05:29 - Fathers Day and KOKO Learnings 13:36 - WALLABIES V ARGENTINA REVIEW 21:28 - Introduce Will Skelton 24:50 - Will’s take on the Wallabies win26:01 - What it was like for Will to watch and not play 28:33 - Will on Harry Wilson's leadership30:40 - Will on Len Ikitau 32:20 - Will on the shape variation shown by the Wallabies 34:46 - Will on signing his contract too early 35:30 - Will on returning for the Bledisloe Cup 37:40 - Will’s niggle in the Lions Series and the Sydney lightning delay 40:39 - Will’s biggest learning from playing overseas 43:34 - Farewell to Will Skelton 45:17 - Welcome Ash Marsters and Trilleen Pomare 48:01 - The Wallaroos didn't get to meet Princess Kate49:39 - The girls talk about the attitude in camp heading into the QF’s50:34 - Learnings from the England game that can be used against Canada 52:00 - How is this World Cup different from the others you have played?53:02 - How can you guys beat Canada? 53:50 - What is Ash Marsters fav position on the pitch? 54:40 - The girls chat about Brighton 56:08 - Farewell to the Wallaroos 58:17 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS REVIEW 01:05:31 - No TRC in 2026 01:07:54 - Budgy Smuggler and KOKO Merch plug 01:09:34 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

• KOKO Previews Round 3 of ‘The RC’ and Wallaroo Michaela Leonard joins us from York!

  This week on the KOKO Show the lads get down and dirty with their ‘ra ra’ previews this week, as they wine, dine and come off the pine for the upcoming third round of The ‘RC’. With all four nations sitting on one win each, this year’s ‘RC’ is as tight as a mouse’s waistcoat and it is anyone's for the taking. Thus, to summarize the upcoming weekend of footy frivolities, the Wallabies are in their “Building phase” and taking on Los Pumas who are in their “Record Breaking Phase”. Whilst those crafty Springboks are in their “no longer world number 1 phase” and are hoping to break an 88-year hoodoo at Eden Park against the All Blacks who are in their “our local community hates us again” phase, so as the classics say, rugby will be the real winner. Moreover, the fellas once again set alight their competitive spirits as they ‘mano a mano a mano’ in an Argentinian flavoured KOKO Quiz. Plus, we are joined by Wallaroos enforcer, lineout specialist, veterinary physio and most importantly the latest member to join the 40 cap club, the one and only Vi-queen Michaela Leonard. The lads with Michaela in tow unpacked all the happenings from the Women’s RWC in England, focussing on the Wallaroos’ draw with the USA and what the girls have to do against England to clinch that last finals spot. With the whole nation at their backs the Wallaroos have highlighted that a fast start, brutal defence and quietening the crowd is the secret sauce needed to take down the world number one English Roses on their own turf. So rise up Australia and get behind the Wallaroos as they fight for the final spot in the quarter-finals this weekend. So, sit back, relax, kick off your pristine RM’s and take a double dose of your gout medicine, this episode is going to be as fun as 4am finish at your favourite watering hole. It’s time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 02:51 - KOKO learnings 11:11 - KOKO’s Body Fat Challenge 17:24 - Rugby Round Up Segment 18:13 - WALLABIES V ARGENTINA PREVIEW34:20 - WALLABIES V ARGENTINA PREDICTIONS 36:08 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS PREVIEW42:02 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS PREDICTIONS44:52 - KOKO QUIZ 49:29 - Introduce Michaela Leonard50:55 - The boys ask about being a Vet Physio53:05 - Michaela on the draw with the USA55:05 - Michaela on how the squad has grown 56:21 - Michaela on Caitlyn Halse’s performances 57:29 - What can we expect from England?59:14 - Things to do in York 01:00:47 - The importance of defence against England 01:01:35 - How can the Wallaroos make the quarters? 01:03:44- The boys tell Michaela how to beat England 01:06:26 - BENCH, START AND DROP01:09:46 - AUSSIE CLUB RUGBY RESULTS 01:13:21 - Shane Christie tribute 01:14:34 - Budgy Smuggler Pjs 01:15:11 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].
