Kick Offs and Kick Ons

This week on the KOKO Show we got down and dirty with the buff, broad and beautiful captain of the NSW Waratahs Mr Matt Philip. With Matt riding comfortably in our side-car of craziness, the lads chat about the Tahs hot start to 2026, his return home to skipper his childhood team and lastly we play a little game of TRUE of FALSE the Matt Philip edition. Plus, the boys get hot and bothered about round two of the Superb Rugby, talking all things oval ball in the Pacific, as well as, a little trip up North to chat Six Nations footy, focussing heavily on French flare and English despair.

Furthermore, Drew this week has been enamoured about the plight of the Japanese monkey Punch and his hardships he has faced after being disowned and bullied in captivity. Thus, we have launched a new segment where the boys illuminate something in their lives that they just can’t let go of, all whilst holding ‘Hope’ the orangutan of comfort. Lastly but certainly not the least, we are back with a couple of juicy segments to round out the ep, Swoop adds a few more items to his Temu cupboard and the lads play a little game called ‘Guess that Salad’. So sit back, relax and think about how shit England is at rugby. If that can’t make you smile then you must be dead inside, but for now it is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by a young gun of Australian Rugby, he is a Sydney 6, Perth 10 and Canberra 11, so please put your mitts together for Mr Charlie Cale. With big Chedsy in tow the lads grill him on the inner workings of the Brumbies’ shower schedule, his nickname and the powerful start in round one of the season. We tackle the light and shade of what it is like being so handsome in Super Rugby and what it is like to forcibly consume lots of Greek salad.

Plus, we have an in depth look at the results from the first week of the Superb Rugby season, breaking down the two big Aussie derbies, as well as the other games from across a wonderful weekend in the Pacific. Moreover, the feast of footy did not stop here as we headed up to our NHLs to break down Scotland’s big win over England, Ireland holding on against the Italian and the French putting the Welsh on toast. Plus, the lads try a few delicacies from our Northern neighbours and Swoop gives the guys some tangy TEMU treats. So sit back, relax and bathe in the beauty that is rugby from all four corners of the globe. Let us the KOKO Show glaze you with all our rugby goodness in an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads are over in the Golden West all thanks to Tourism Western Australia, sampling everything that Perth has to offer from its natural beauty, to the food and all its groundbreaking entertainment. In this episode the boys glowingly recount their time at Rottnest Island, their dinner and tour at Gage Roads Brewery, climbing Optus Stadium and all the action from the HSBC SVNS at HBF Park. Plus, the fellas do a full rugby round up as they preview week one of the Super Rugby Pacific with their tips, tricks and everything in between, as well as a full recap of round one in the Guinness Six Nations for all our NHL’s.

In the Second half of the episode brought to you by HSBC we are joined by two legitimate Aussie greats Alicia Lucas and Michael Hooper to talk all things HSBC, SVNS and the Global Rugby Player Foundation. With our two red polo clad legends in tow the KOKO show takes a turn as we delve into the world of life after rugby, Swoop’s Temu addiction and just how excited everyone is about the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

So buckle up your chin straps and remember to slip, slop, slap, slurp and slide; this episode is an absolute scorcher in the wild wild west. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

We are back for our first episode of the year and there is no better place to launch our new season than from the 2027 Rugby World Cup Schedule Reveal on the beautiful shores of Sydney Harbour. With the formalities all done and dusted, the games all announced and the William Webb Ellis trophy doing its thing around Australia the lads got to sit down with World Rugby Chair and former Wallaby Brett Robinson for a candid chat about the upcoming tournament.

The boys press Brett on his must watch games for the World Cup, the teams that could shock the competition and what he expects from the opening match between the Wallabies and Hong Kong China in Perth. With the World Cup just around the corner in 2027 it is fair to say that rugby hysteria is at fever pitch down under and KOKO can't wait for it to roll around. Plus, the lads get stuck into a little ‘Other Rugby News’ as they chat about Rock Elsom’s Noosa spotting, Razor getting sacked by the All Blacks and the teammate scuffle at the Waratahs. Lastly, the KOKO crew pick their Six Nations teams for 2026, as well as a full slate of tips for round one this weekend. So fear not our weary faithful, the KOKO has returned and we are ready to make 2026 bigger and better than ever. It’s time for season three of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

As Andrea Bocelli once said “it’s time to say goodbye” to 2025 and gear up for a very merry silly season filled with rosé, prawns and a little touch of gout. This year for the KOKO show has been an absolute belter, we opened a new stadium in Hong Kong, we welcomed the British and Irish Lions down under and we delivered 48 rib tickling episodes to the people. This week we are rolling out the OG crew one last time to talk about the slate of international games that happened over the weekend, including the French smash up of the Wallabies, the Boks bouncing Ireland, the AB’s getting it done over Wales and England sneaking past the Argentinians. In what has been a topsy turvy year for rugby in Australia we saw it fit to finish the season with a little health check of the Wallabies, to see if McDreamy, McSteamy and McPeggy can still feel a pulse. With all the footy now in the rear vision mirror that lads decided to reflect on the year that was by presenting to you our loyal fans the second annual screening of the ‘KOKO Awards’ - recognising excellence in the fields of footy, fame and fun stuff. Plus, we are the gift that keeps on giving, as you know we have been shredding for summer all thanks to our partnership with WHOOP and today is the day for our grand reveal. Although not all of us hit our targets (or none of us) there is a glorious mid-show medley of man meat that simply can’t be missed. So, before we sign off one final time for 2025, all of us here at KOKO would love to thank you for your loyal and unwavering support of our silly little show. Please keep fighting the good fight, being kind to one another and please keep your eye on Swoop in the wild. It is time for the season finale of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
