KOKO Delivers Another Hong Kong Sevens Spectacular with Habana, Quirk, Big Jim and Andy Goode

As advertised, the KOKO Crew took on the Hong Kong Sevens for the second year in a row and some people doubted our commitment to the cause, but let the record show we came, we saw and we most certainly survived. Thanks to the Discover Hong Kong (Hong Kong Tourism Board), Cathay Pacific and Ovolo Hotels for giving the show another phenomenal experience of lifetime. This tour will most certainly go down in the KOKO history books as a rip roaring success, we went to the Hong Kong Football Club for a night of laughs with Jim Hamilton and Andy Goode, had a day of childish laughs on the rides at Ocean Park Hong Kong, enjoyed some delicious food With Virginia Chan, took in sights and sounds of the Pottinger Street Market and we soaked up all the seriously spicy rugby action from the 10s and the 7s across the week.With the Hong Kong Sevens entering a new era at the sleek, sparkling and simply sensational Kai Tak Sports Park the balance between nostalgia and reinvention was perfectly on point. Due to the allure of the all new Hong Kong Sevens, throughout the weekend, the boys were joined by an array of rugby royalty including Bryan Habana, Alicia Quirk, Jamie Roberts and the aforementioned ‘Big Jim and Goodey’. Plus, we were allowed into the bowels of Kai Tak Stadium to see how the teams prepare in their brand new digs and we cap off the episode with a dash of debauchery, in our newest instalment of the ‘KOKO Carnage’. This show is the perfect blend of naughty and nice, showcasing the eternal struggle of which side will come out on top. However, ladies and gentlemen the answer is simple, KOKO always finishes on top. For another year the beauty and vibrancy of Hong Kong is regrettably now in the rear vision mirror, but as we build through 2025 and navigate the British and Irish Lions as well as all the other international fixtures around the world, this little pod will always have one eye on the ‘Pearl of the Orient’.So sit back, relax, deactivate the secret Airtags you had on your loved ones who attended the Sevens (in our case Holiday Swoop) and simply revel in the beauty that is KOKO on tour. We present Kick Offs and Kick Ons the Hong Kong Experience.TIMECODES:00:00 - Start of the show 01:09 - Recap of the week in Hong Kong03:02 - Interview with Jim Hamilton and Andy Goode 26:13 - Talking about the Hong Kong 10’s and celebrity touch football 27:56 - Drew’s birthday celebrations 29:10 - Hong Kong Ocean Park 31:00 - KOKO’s basketball session32:04 - HSBC touch footy day 33:57 - Alicia Quirk Interview 37:20 - KOKO in the South Stand 38:30 - Hong Kong Sevens Predictions and the tournament in general 41:32 - Super Rugby Round Up Segment 48:43 - Les Kiss and the unfilled Wallabies coaching job 51:05 - Super W Scores 53:06 - Bryan Habana Interview 01:07:02 - The Lions Coaching Staff 01:08:30 - Tour awards 01:09:20 - Thanks to Discover Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific, Ovolo Hotels and Virginia Chan01:11:28 - KOKO website and socials Hosted on Acast.

KOKO Goes No Guest Nonsense as the Boys Prepare Mentally for the Hong Kong Sevens

This week on The KOKO Show the guys are gearing up for another round of slaying the dragon in Hong Kong. They are fired up to rock the Hong Kong Sevens to its core, having said that blind Freddy could see the air of apprehension and fear pouring off the fellas. There will be stories told, lessons learnt and fun to be had, the lads will be galvanised once again on the road to podcasting superstardom. Plus, the boys sink their teeth into round 6 of the Superb Rugby giving you all their glitzy and glamorous ‘Top Takeaways’ from the week that was in the world of ‘ra ra’.With all four Aussie teams sitting pretty in the top six of the Super Rugby ladder spirits are high and the egos are sufficiently inflated across the panel. Moreover, the lads spend some time thanking the beautiful people of Forbes for their love and support at the Forbes Rugby Presidents Lunch, where KOKO really cranked up the energy in support for country sport and grassroots footy. Finally, the lads select some more sorry sods in their Locked In Lions to take on the Wallabies in July and August.So crack open your fortune cookie, read the message and take a sip of your tea, as our little show goes one on one with Hong Kong and will most likely come out second best. It is time for Kick Offs and Kick ons.   TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start05:42 - KOKO Learnings09:48 - Forbes Thank You10:53 - The Amazing Face!19:45 - Rugby Round Up Segment21:50 - Gits' Takeaway - Suplex and 'Tahs vs Brumbs28:33 - Swoop's Takeaway - More Attacking Rugby30:08 - Drew's Takeaway - 4 Aussie Teams On Top!39:36 - Super W Wrap Up41:48 - KOKO's Locos48:33 - Other Rugby News50:51 - We're Off to Hong Kong!57:19 - KOKO Quiz1:02:32 - Locked In LionsBUY 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.

Tom Wright Carves Up KOKO and the French are Crowned Champions of Europe

This week on The KOKO Show we are taking it back to the old school and dishing up only one succulent rugby meal for week 7 of the show. You guys have begged and bartered for us to take it back to the old form and we have listened. But fear not our ‘Ra Ra’ infected rugrats we have not deprived you of any awesome footy flavoured goodness. In this week's show the lads drape themselves in blue and start a second revolution to celebrate the very French finish to this year's Six Nations title, illuminating where 'Les Bleus' got it right and how the rest of the pack just fell short. Plus, our beautiful battlers are joined by a very special guest this week, he was one of the Wallabies most impactful players in 2024 and this year for the Brumbies he is stealing the show. Please welcome the rugby union renegade who is waxed from top to toe and lasered everywhere in between, he is the hairless boy wonder and friend of the show Mr Tom Wright. The lads get down and dirty with Tom Wright, talking about the Brumbies in 2025, his personal growth at the international level and why his very own brother dropped him in Fantasy Super Rugby. Finally, the KOKO Crew give you their ‘ Top 5 Takeaways’ from week five of the Superb Rugby competition, as well as honouring a brand new batch of ‘Locked In Lions’. So book in for your fortnightly mani/pedi, throw some cucumber over the windows to your soul and just let the decadent tones of four grown men talking absolute garbage cleanse your being.

Super Rugby is Flying in 2025 and the Six Nations is Coming Down to the Wire

This week on The KOKO Show we put all our shit aside and moved footy to the fore, breaking down all the round 4 action from both the Superb Rugby and Six Nations. The lads can't resist hooping and hollering at the hot throbbing product that is Super Rugby Pacific 2025, as they discuss a week of footy that was packed full of upstarts, uprisings and upsets. Within our new segment ‘KOKO’s Top 5 Takeaways’ the crew highlights how the Waratahs have found their fire, the Brumbies have built themselves a backbone and just how beautiful a weekend is when only one Kiwi team wins.Plus, these pheromone sodden phenoms take a little walk on the wild side as they unpack all the action from up north in the ‘Six Nations Summation’, bringing light to the fearless French, interrogating the incompetent Irish and somewhat extinguishing the excitable English. Moreover, with only one round left in the greatest rugby competition in the world, the boys have a little look and spirited debate about who holds poll position heading into their final 80 minutes.Lastly, we are joined briefly by the Aussie breaker of English hearts and Waratahs young gun Mr Max Jorgensen (full interview on Thursday) for a little chinwag about his red hot form in Super Rugby and the guys get down and dirty as they immerse themselves in a Quiz. So, throw the kids on the ipad, leave everything in the sink, pop a couple xannies and melt into your well weathered lazy-boy, it’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show our first instalment is jam packed wall to wall with the game they play in heaven as we break down all the action from across the Six Nations and Super Rugby. With so much ‘ra ra’ to rummage through we thought it would be sensible to enlist a very special guest to make sense of it all.Our guest this week is such a big deal in the world of rugby the fact he is on our dinky little show either means there was an administrative error or he is just straight up crazy. This fella is without a doubt one of the best number 10’s in the world, he hates an untidy house, his favourite film is anchorman and boy he can whip up a mean carbonara, so please put your hands together for Mr Finn Russell.With Finn in toe, we discuss and dissect all the Six Nations action from over the weekend which saw England win back the Calcutta Cup, the Irish down the resilient Welsh and the French flog the abysmal Azzurri. Furthermore, Mr Russell talks about his excitement surrounding the upcoming Lions Tour and he has promised the KOKO Crew a couple of big nights out on him.Plus, the lads also get silky with a sublime second round of Super Rugby, illuminating all the reasons as to why it is the best domestic competition in the world. So slip on your kilts, pour yourself a Scotch and let the breeze blow between your cheeks, because this show will be a super sensual yet very Scottish sensory overload.
