Kick Offs and Kick Ons

This week on Kick Offs and Kick Ons we take the show on the road. We headed down to Super Round Melbourne courtesy of TEG and had one hell of a time. On the show this week we dusted off our KOKO shirts, popped a few Nurofen and fixed our hair as we welcomed a very special guest on set, new Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt.Smokey Joe told us how he has almost fixed Australian Rugby less than a week into the job, the Super Rugby players that have caught his eye and he shares his positive messaging for Aussie rugby fans. So let's get excited to see all Australian rugby teams "Schmidt it in" over the next couple of years.After Joe had vacated the show to save his professional reputation, the boys recapped all the action from Super Round Melbourne took part in a Super Rugby quiz off and we share exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from our weekend down thereSo sit back and gently run your fingers through your Melbourne hipster moustache and sip on your three quarter piccolo in a graffitied lane way, it's now time for The KOKO Show.00:00 - INTRO TO SUPER ROUND01:44 - INTRO JOE SCHMIDT03:54 - JOE INTERVIEW STARTS09:39 - JOE ON THE BLEDISLOE11:06 - JOE'S COMMUNICATION WITH WALLABIES TEAM12:36 - JOE ON THE APPOINTMENT OF HIS COACHING STAFF13:44 - JOE ON THE BRITISH AND IRISH LIONS/ EARN THE SUPPORT15:56 - JOE ON THE WALLABIES DOCCO16:57 - PLAYERS THAT HAVE CAUGHT JOE'S EYE19:04 - JOE'S MESSAGE TO AUSSIE RUGBY FANS21:08 - SUPER ROUND WRAP UP29:55 - DREW GETTING HIS LIFE BACK ON TRACK30:50 - KOKO QUIZ37:05 - FAREWELLSWatch the YouTube episode to see our behind-the-scenes footage from the weekend!Who knows what the future holds but this is going to be a hell of a lot of fun!

This week on KOKO the boys go a little loco because Taylor Swift is in town. We straighten our ties and dust off the shoulders as we put this cruel summer behind us and pen Australian Rugby a little love song. On the show we are joined by the incumbent Wallaby and Queensland Reds number seven Fraser McReight as we break down their big win over the terrible 'Tahs, as well as all of the week one action from the Super Rugby Pacific. The fellas also take a little deep dive into Fraser’s life with a little game called “McReight or McWrong.” Although we bleed green and gold on this show, we haven’t forgotten about our frostbitten friends in the Northern Hemisphere, as we unpack the weekend of rugby in the “Six Nations Summation.” Plus, we are joined by a very special guest and the most notable voice in rugby around the world, yes that is right, Jim Hamilton is on the show, as he blesses our pod with all of his sage wisdom, cracking stories and at the end he gets quizzical. So top up your flutes with a crisp Australian sparkling, sauce up your pies and kick back on the lazyboy, it’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons. 00:00 - INTROS04:59 - GITS’ SET REACTION 07:42 - SOCIALS AND SUBSCRIBER BET UPDATE09:25 - WHAT'S COMING UP ON THE SHOW10:40 - WALLABIES DOCO CHAT 15:26 - WELCOME FRASER MCREIGHT18:38 - FRASER ON TAHS WIN, LES KISS AND CONNECTION WITH HARRY WILSON 26:58 - FRASER’S TAKE ON JOE SCHMIDT/ HURRICANES GAME AT SUPER ROUND28:39 - MCREIGHT OR MCWRONG GAME35:19 - SUPER RUGBY ROUND 1 WRAP41:49 - SUPER ROUND PROMO44:27 - JIM HAMILTON INTRO46:28 - THE SIX NATIONS SUMMATION1:06:12 - JIM ON PODCASTING1:11:11 - JIM’S BRITISH AND IRISH LIONS STORY1:14:30 - THE KOKO QUIZ1:22:24 - FAREWELLWho knows what the future holds but this is going to be a hell of a lot of fun!

It’s a new week and a new us. That's right we are going loco on the KOKO for our new set. We have been given new everything by the beautiful folks at Appliances online, they have ensured that there is a little bit of elegance in this primarily classless weekly endeavor. This week the boys are joined by the most handsome man in Wales, you guessed it, the tall, tanned and terrific Lions legend Mike Phillips has joined the show for a very open and honest Six Nations Summation, hammering home the message that beautiful people need love too.When you think that is all, this show is like the NYE fireworks, we always has a big finale. On the KOKO Show we roll in two members of Waratahs engine room, Ned Hanigan and Fergus Lee-Warner, adding a little country swag to this entitled little show. The lads talk all things footy ahead of the opening round of the Super Rugby Pacific season, the difference between a heifer and cow, as well as how much they want to fold Harry Wilson from the Reds. We know what you are thinking, how does it get any better than this? Well we aren’t sure it will so please join this week as we serve up a little amuse bouche of rugby without the ‘rah rah’ opulence.

Ladies and gentlemen we have arrived. It is safe to say that ‘Kick Offs and Kick Ons’ has launched with a bang. Prof and the boys clean out the cobwebs from a big off-season and are ready to run the ball straight into the upcoming rugby season. On ‘The KOKO Show’ this week we unveil our brand new ‘less is more’ set and outline our never ending quest for that rugby union sponsorship dough. Just as Australian rugby hits rock bottom we are there to catch them, as we cleanse the soul of the last 12 months and get excited for the appointment of new Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt and the Wallaroos’ hiring of Joanne Yapp as the first full time Australian women's head coach. We have saged off the evils of Eddie and now we are ready to ‘Schmidt it in’.Although we are an Australian show, from time to time we like to take a little sojourn north of the Equator. That's right we are bringing you a brand new segment to start the season called ‘The Six Nations Summation’ with the help of a rugby Immortal, the one and only Jonny Wilkinson. We also delve into his rich rugby career and the time he spent tearing up Toulon with Gits and Drew. As always, if it ain't broke don't fix it, we are bringing back the Quiz in 2024 and let’s see if Jonny knows more about himself than the boys do. So dust off your RM’s, steam your favourite polo shirt then sit back and enjoy as the KOKO show brings you all you need to know about the beautiful game of rugby.          00:00 - INTRODUCTIONS02:40 - WELCOME BACKS04:40 - WHAT'S COMING UP ON THE SHOW THE SHOW06:04 - NEW SET DESCRIPTION09:04 - SPONSOR UPDATE AND OPPORTUNITY10:18 - SOCIALS PLUG10:52 - PERTH SEVENS RECAP14:05 - SUPER ROUND PLUG WITH THE KOKO SHOW (LINK BELOW)16:00 - WALLABIES 2024 FIXTURES AND NEW CATCHPHRASE19:59 - GITS PRESEASON, ARMY CAMP AND COMEDY SET20:59 - AUSTRALIAN COACHING APPOINTMENTS  (SCHMIDT AND YAPP)/ HIGH PERFORMANCE26:13 - SIX NATIONS SUMMATION29:11 - INTRODUCE AND WELCOME JONNY WILKINSON29:50 - ITALY V ENGLAND REVIEW33:57 - WALES V SCOTLAND REVIEW40:37 - FRANCE V IRELAND REVIEW44:09 - SIX NATIONS ROUND 2 PREDICTIONS45:09 - DREW AND GITS PLAYING WITH JONNY AT TOULON58:48 - JONNY BOOK STORY1:00:25 - THE GOLDEN CHILD1:04:56 - WILKO'S MENTAL AND PHYSICAL STRUGGLES1:15:55 - JONNY’S TRAMPOLINING MISHAP1:21:37 - THE 2003 WORLD CUP FINAL AND LIFE AFTER THE KICK1:33:29 - ADVICE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER1:37:17 - QUIZWho knows what the future holds but this is going to be a hell of a lot of fun!
