Kick Offs and Kick Ons

This week on The KOKO Show the lad’s souls are bent but most certainly not broken. After eight weeks of touring alongside the Lions, KOKO has returned home to bind their wounds and rebuild for what is going to be an exciting Rugby Championship. Thanks to our dear friends at Guinness we break down Test Match three in our ‘Perfect Pour’ segment and the lads celebrate the fact that this young Australian team are building to something special with a home World Cup on the horizon in 2027. The fellas looked in every nook and cranny from Saturday night's game and they have determined that the Lions are worthy winners of the 2025 series, however, they opened up both barrels on all the pundits that claimed it wouldn't be worth touring to Australia and that Wallabies are not worthy foe… How do you like us now? So as we put a tidy little bow on this record breaking series, bathe in Wallabies glory and get a new script for Doxycycline from our GPs, the lads turn their attention to the TRC and how this young Aussie side will go against the other Southern Hemisphere juggernauts in only a matter of weeks. So sit back, relax and wave goodbye to the sea of red, congratulations on the series win but please politely leave this country that you sent us to and don't come back for another 12 or so years… only kidding. Sorry we got carried away. It is now time for a buoyant and happy episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 03:24 - Prof’s David v Goliath debate 04:54 - KOKO Learnings 11:08 - WALLABIES V LIONS TEST MATCH 3 REVIEW16:19 - Guinness Perfect Pour Segment 22:23 - Prof’s Sexy Stats brought to you by Active Ops 28:20 - KOKO Lions Series Awards 35:40 - KOKO Lads Tour Highlights 40:58 - Looking forward to the TRC 41:52 - WALLAROOS V WALES REVIEW AND WC SQUAD43:38 - Merch Update 44:46 - Sponsor shoutouts 46:07 - The lads sum up the Lions Series 49:30 - Socials and website49:49 - Thanking the crew 50:44 - Sydney Carnage Package 01:02:34 - 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 info@shtn.com.au.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads try and pick up the pieces after experiencing what was an emotional weekend for Aussie rugby fans in Melbourne. If you have been living under a rock, the Wallabies were pipped at the post on Saturday by a resurgent Lions team that claimed a big series win 2-0 at the MCG. Despite being heartbroken and frustrated with the result the KOKO lads paint on a pretty smile and give you a full review of what happened at the ‘G’ in Guinness’ ‘Perfect Pour’ segment and they reiterate just how important it is for the Wallabies to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and show up big in Sydney.  The lads are joined by one of the greatest to ever do it in George Gregan and they discuss how the series might be done but the ability to keep writing this resurgent Aussie rugby narrative is well and truly still on track. With George’s rugby mind overflowing with brilliance the KOKO Crew dive deep into the psyche of a champion to see where he believes Aussie rugby is at and where it needs to go. So, sit back, relax and tip your cap to the Lions, they deserve our respect. It is time for an all new yet slightly sorrowful episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 03:09 - KOKO Learnings 09:42 - WALLABIES V LIONS GAME 2 REVIEW 24:28 - Guinness Perfect Pour Segment 29:12 - Guinness Sydney Live Show plug 29:28 - KOKO welcomes George Gregan 32:48 - Greegs’ take on Test Match 2 34:00 - If Greegs was captain what would he have said at halftime?35:46 - Greegs’ take on the Gordon and Lynagh combo 37:05 - Greegs on why he wont lace the boots up again 40:07 - Drew talking about how Greegs used to say wingers shouldn’t go into touch41:20 - Greegs on where Aussie rugby is at right now 46:13 - Greegs on how good this Lions team is 47:58 - Greegs on that decision 50:09 - Greegs on John Eales as a captain 54:03 - The boys on what they learnt from George 01:01:02 - BENCH, START AND DROP01:05:52 - Sexy Stats brought to you by Active Ops01:08:34 - TAB Segment 01:11:09 - MJ Bale ticket plug 01:11:02 - WALLAROOS V WALES 01:11:55 - MERCH PLUG01:14:15 - KOKO Melbourne carnage packageBUY 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 info@shtn.com.au.

Direct to you from Melbourne the KOKO Crew breakdown all the action from MCG, merely moments after Lions have clinched the 2025 series. The lads discuss their raw emotions after the Wallabies were dramatically pipped at the post in truly heartbreaking fashion. The fellas have a little look at moments from the game that saw the British and Irish Lions claim a famous series victory after trailing by as much as 18 points throughout the match. To round out the review, the lads talk about the heart and effort shown across the board by both sides and they illuminate the positive green shoots of potential that the Wallabies have shown over the past two weeks. As a nation we will get back up, dust ourselves off and get ready to go again in Sydney and beyond. Get ready for the KOKO Game 2 review Victorian style!   BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake 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.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads use the warmth of mateship and connection to repair their wounds sustained in Bris-Vegas, we mend, we grow and we do it all again in Melbourne. As you all know, 52,500 screaming fans took to Brisbane last week in the hope that their side would take the choccys in the first match of the Test Series. The KOKO crew use this episode to unpack all the action from the Lion’s dominant win over the Wallabies, a match that saw the touring team take the result out of the hosts hands in the first 40 mins. The boys pontificate on possible coaching changes in game two, as well as the Wallabies remaining focused on sticking to a gameplan and working on execution rather than rediscovery. As the Melbourne match edges itself into focus, the ‘G’ explodes into raptures and the Wallabies' destiny hangs by a thread. It is time for the Wallabies to stand up and make this one count. It’s time to re-adjust the current take on Australian Rugby and it is time for another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons. TIMECODES00:00 - Start of the show 04:24 - KOKO Learnings 09:01 - WALLABIES V LIONS REVIEW PART 1 12:57 - Guinness Perfect Pour 19:35 - Sydney Live show plug22:24 - WALLABIES V LIONS REVIEW PART 2 THANKS TO ACTIVE OPS32:15 - The Sole of the Game brought to you by RM Williams 41:50 - Other International scores 43:30 - FIRST NATIONS/PASIFIKA V LIONS PREVIEW 46:53 - TAB Odds Segment 51:17 - Prof’s Ronan O’Gara story from Brisbane 41:43 - Which Lion Was it Anyway? 56:47 - WALLAROOS V WALES PREVIEW58:48 - Merch update 01:01:52 - Guinness shout out 01:02:45 - Classic Wallabies v Lions Legends plug 01:04:32 - The Brisbane Carnage Package BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comBUDGY SMUGGLER - BUY ALL THE PRODUCTS NOW. https://budgysmuggler.com.au/pages/wallabies-early-access?utm_source=KOKO&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Wallabies2025LIVE SHOWS:Sydney - https://www.kickoffsandkickons.com/pages/eventsMake 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.

Direct to you from Caxton Street in Brisbane the KOKO Crew breakdown all the action from Suncorp Stadium, merely moments after Lions clinched a 1-0 lead in the 2025 series. The lads discuss where the Lions excelled throughout the 80 minutes and where the Wallabies need to improve in Melbourne for game 2. The fellas have a little look at moments from the game that were turning points in the series opener, as well as certain officiating decisions that hampered the game for both sides in the contest. To round out the review, the lads look forward to next Saturday where these two teams head to the 'Grand Old Lady' (MCG) either for the Lions to claim a dominant series win or for the mighty Wallabies to square the ledger.

This week on the KOKO Show we come to you from the glorious confines of the MJ Bale flagship store in Martin Place, Sydney. The lads are dressed to impress with some silky threads that lift the spirits and allow the human form to podcast like they have never podcasted before, all thanks to MJ Bale. We have arrived ladies and gentlemen, the first Test Match between the Lions and the Wallabies is soon upon us and the KOKO Crew couldn't be more up and about at the prospect of two great teams doing battle at Suncorp Stadium. To help us along this joyous journey, we have enlisted the help of two very special guests. The first has played over 90 caps for Wales and he was one of the brave men that took down the Wallabies in 2013, it is none other than Dr Jamie Roberts and the other is triple international, cross-code footy legend and rugby media’s leading lady Allana Ferguson. Jamie joins the lads for the first half of the show to muse and discuss how both sides will shape up and prepare this week leading into the first Test. We discuss potential tactics, predicted sides and what the Lions will do to navigate this growing laundry list of injured players. Plus, ‘The King’ sticks around to give us his ‘Perfect Pour’ from the weekend just gone, all thanks to our headline sponsor Guinness, as well as playing a little game of ‘Which Lion Was it Anyway?’We have always said, when one guest leaves you replace them with someone better. Step to the fore Allana Ferguson. All thanks to our great friends at TAB, Allana joined the show to crunch the odds heading into the first Test Match this Saturday in Brisbane. Plus, she unleashes her depth of knowledge to give us a full wrap of the Wallaroos’ encouraging loss to the Black Ferns in Wellington and how the ladies are shaping up with the Rugby World Cup on the horizon this August. So in summation, it is time to bloody lock in. We have waited 12 long years to get our chance at revenge against this crimson clad gaggle of geezers and let’s not let this one slide. They have taken over our beaches, booked up our restaurants and are smugly drinking our beer. But they will never take our podcast! It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we are joined in the studio by great mate of the pod, Japanese rugby’s hunkiest half and Wallabies legend, Mr Bernard “The IceMan' Foley. The Nard Dog along with the KOKO Crew go really deep on the Wallabies’ last gasp win over the Flying Fijians in Newcastle, as well as breaking down the Lions’ hard fought victory over the gallant Waratahs in an all new serving of the ‘Perfect Pour’ thanks to our headline sponsor Guinness. Plus, the guys get caught up in the beauty of numbers as they preview all the upcoming matches on the British and Irish Lions Tour, focusing heavily on the Lions’ clash with the Brumbies this Wednesday all thanks to our great mates at TAB. If you thought to yourself, that just doesn't seem to be enough footy for my liking, we also run you through the AUNZ Invitational XV that will take on the Lions this Saturday and the guys mount a case about how this star-studded roster might be the team to tame these freckle faced felines. Finally, to round out this pleasure packed pod of production perfection we couldn't help but bring back a second instalment of the highly anticipated game that is sweeping the nation 'Which Lion Was It Anyway?’    So, sit back, relax, pour yourself an ice cold Guinness and please avoid any large groups of Lions fans. To paraphrase one of the greatest movies of all time ‘Cool Runnings’ - ‘Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up! It’s almost Test Match time’. Ladies and gentlemen please enjoy the latest episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show02:51 - KOKO’s Learnings 09:23 - Budgie Smuggler shoot and KOKO Collection (add tag) 11:56 - Rugby Round Up Segment - WALLABIES V FIJI REVIEW26:54 - The Perfect Pour brought to you by Guinness - Waratahs v Lions28:00 - Swoop’s perfect pour - Huw Jones’ game v Waratahs 30:11 - Bernard’s perfect pour - Charlie Gamble’s breakdown work31:39 - Drew’s perfect pour - The Lions players chatting to fans 33:10 - Matt’s perfect pour - Owen Farrell’s call up 37:42 - The boys split the G39:55 - The Guinness Live Show plug (add tag)41:27 - AUNZ INVITATIONAL TEAM V LIONS PREVIEW 46:04 - Felons Barrel Hall KOKO Live Show - Brisbane (add tag)47:09 - TAB ODDS SEGMENT - BRUMBIES V LIONS51:00 - International Rugby Scores 57:57 - ‘Which Lion was it Anyway?’ Segment 01:03:24 - Close of the Show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comBUDGY SMUGGLER CALL TO ACTION - SIGN UP FOR FIRST ACCESS OF ALL THE PRODUCTS. https://budgysmuggler.com.au/pages/wallabies-early-access?utm_source=KOKO&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Wallabies2025LIVE SHOWS:Brisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Felons Barrel Hallhttps://www.sevenrooms.com/x1pJ8HnMBrisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Wests Bulldogshttps://www.trybooking.com/DCHAWMake 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.

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.

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.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show03:52 - Shout out to Guinness our Major Sponsor04:24 - KOKO Learnings10:39 - MJ Bale shout out for dressing the boys13:55 - The Perfect Pour brought to you by Guinness23:02 - The Guinness Live Shows plug25:02 - Introduce Sekope Kepu27:39 - Sekope on playing against the Lions28:50 - Sekope on coaching against the Lions in 202534:54 - Sekope on playing for Moana Pasifika36:54 - Bench, start and Drop41:20 - Sekope’s Lions Series Prediction49:44 - TAB Reds v Lions Watch Along Promo53:27 - CRUSADERS V CHIEFS REVIEW57:50 - KOKO’s Super Rugby Awards01:02:36 - The boys talk about the Wallabies Squad01:06:46 - Live Show plugs01:07:00 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comLIVE SHOWS:Brisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Felons Barrel Hallhttps://www.sevenrooms.com/x1pJ8HnMBrisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Wests Bulldogshttps://www.trybooking.com/DCHAWMake 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 info@shtn.com.au.
