This week on The KOKO Show the TOP GUN boys are back together with Bernard ‘The Ice Man’ Foley flying tip to tip in an episode that can only be described as a footy fans wet dream. That is right, the Nard Dog is here to chat about his playing future hopefully at the Waratahs, pushing for a 2027 Rugby World Cup spot and discussing what he has left to offer Australian Rugby. Plus the lads get down and dirty with a full Nations Champs recap, all thanks to Active Ops - with Australia falling agonisingly short to Ireland, NZ’s close call with the French, South Africa sorting out the English and so much more. We also buoy the boys with a little segment brought to you by Cape Mentelle Wineries called ‘The Uncompromising Character of the Week’, where we unpack the guts and bravery shown by Harry Wilson and Ben Donaldson to step up and take their shot at glory.

Finally, we close the show with another dose of ‘How Good is Sport’ brought to you by TCL and then we put Swoop back in the fixer’s chair with a brand new look at ‘Swoop Will Sort It’. This week we are serving up wall to wall rugby, there is not a nook nor a cranny that isn't glazed by the game they play in heaven. So sit back, relax and pour yourself a chilled glass of Cape Mentelle wine, because you will need some uncompromising character to get through this all new ep of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we are joined from the top by High School footy phenom, Brumbies goer and close friend of the show Mr Pete ‘Perfume’ Playford. With Pete in tow we cover all the news from the world of rugby, including the parting ways of the Waratahs with head Coach Dan McKellar, David Campese joining the NRL and of course we pick our Wallabies match day 23. Plus, the boys get stuck into the business side of Rugby Australia, pulling together ideas of how we can build the game back up after the Rugby World Cup. However, in episode 20 we save the best little treat for last. That is right ladies and gentlemen this week we are joined by our favourite lovable lump all the way from Wallabies Camp, this fella has been called out of retirement to serve the nation and boy is he ready and willing to do just that. Please welcome our Wallabies work horse Mr James Styvo Slipper. With Big Jimmy riding shotgun we gain some insights into the current Wallabies Camp, the excitement surrounding the Nations Champs and what Slips really gets up to in his private hotel room. Lastly, the KOKO show is proud to bring you a brand new segment called ‘How Good Is Sport’, which is all thanks to the kind people at TCL.

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by a man that makes you lick your lips and shake your hips, he is 140 clicks of grain fed gorgeousness, it is of course the Bordeaux Baddie himself Mr Ben Tameifuna. With big Ben riding shotgun the boys recap his second UBB European Championship, his post-win social media content and we play a little game of ‘Fact or Fiction - The Big Ben Edition’. Plus, we do a deep dive into the Super Rugby Final and discuss how the Hurricanes dismantled Ben’s beloved Chiefs in the biggest final defeat of all time.

With the international season merely 11 sleeps away the boys sink their teeth into the burning questions surrounding the most recent Joe Schmidt Wallabies Squad, they tackle the big bad All Blacks selections and then we give you all the pressing rugby news and scores from around the globe. Lastly we get super handy Swoop to sit down and nut out some listener issues with another helpful dose of ‘Swoop Will Sort It’. So sit back, relax and throw on your most fashionable beret because we are about to send your blood sugar soaring with an all new super-sized episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
