After last week's episode with new Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt, we knew we had to go up a level this week on the KOKO Show and that is exactly what we did.

On this week's instalment we are joined by the big dog in Rugby Australia's kennel. CEO Phil Waugh stops by to answer all the tough questions about the state of the game in Australia, as well as why Aussie rugby fans should be optimistic moving forward. The KOKO crew covered all the weekend's action from the third round of the ’Superb’ Rugby and we were lucky enough to be joined by the 'Sunshine State’s Sensei’ Queensland Reds head coach Les Kiss.

For all our Northern Hemisphere Homies we of course have given you a big serving of the Six Nations Summation in the lead up to the final weekend of the tournament. Finally, we leave ye faithful fans with a little yarn as Drew talks about his NYC bust up with a famous American rapper, in a new segment we call ‘Cocoa with KOKO.’

So sit back, enjoy and let the world of rugby cleanse your dirtiest thoughts, it's time to align your footy chakras with a little dose of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
