KOKO Match Review: The stylish and silky Springboks break the Wallabies hearts in the wild weather out West.

The embattled Wallabies went down swinging once again at the hands of the big bad Boks in weather more fitting for a day at ‘Wet n Wild World’ rather than a footy match. The KOKO Crew are back once again like a pack of hungry news reporters with absolutely no journalistic integrity to give you all their spicy takes and tasty touch points from Saturday's game. Although, we can't promise 100% accurate information, we can deliver unwavering charisma and unapologetic Aussie bias. So if you are stuck in a Wallaby induced mine shaft of depression, climb back out and soak up some Aussie spirit, swim with a whale shark and chug some of Margaret River’s finest. Just remember it is always darkest before the Wallabies ‘Schmidt it in’ again. It’s time for another dose of the ‘KOKO Match Review’. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on the KOKO Show the crew headed down the Hume Highway to surprise our little leader upon his return from the land of the free and the home of the brave. That is right, we went full bloody stealth mode to ensure the unofficial King of Canberra got the serenade he deserved fresh off his business class flight home.Thanks to our special guest and former Wallaby Ben Alexander and his team at ‘The Dock’ in Canberra we had a fun little get together in front of Goit’s family and friends. We cover all things ra ra in the lead up to the start of the TRC focusing on the Wallabies matchup against the Springboks and touching on the All Blacks v Argentina clash. Gone are the ghosts of July series past and now it is time for the big dawgs to eat, woof, woof, woof baby.Plus, in partnership with our headline sponsor MYER we serve up another mouth watering ‘Match Fit’ segment and this time it comes with undertones of capital chic, parliamentary poise and world leader wonderment. So get comfy in the backbench and play nicely with your ballot box as we crawl deep inside your cabinet.

The Olympic spirit fills the KOKO show as it goes faster, higher and stronger in week 27.

This week on The KOKO Show we travel back to Ancient Greece, in order to rock the fuck out of a toga and understand what it is about the Olympics that gets the boys a smidgen hot under the saddle blanket. In a quest for experimentation and self-growth this show is going to try something a little different this week and tackle the giant that is the Paris Olympics. We touch on all the Rugby Sevens news from the first few days of competition, highlighting the valiant efforts of the ‘Golden Guys’, the role of Dupont in France’s golden glory and how the Aussie Women are shaping up for world domination. Plus, the boys get out of their comfort zone as we dissect plenty of other amazing Olympic performances and the fellas pick their favourite moments from the 33rd games so far. We know Paris is famous for angry waiters, a metal tower and bloody big roundabout with an arch, but Mr Holiday Swoop lifts the lid on his must hits and naughty nooks you have to see when you visit the ‘City of Love’. To cap off this très bien episode we get the competitive juices flowing with an Olympic sized quiz, filled to the brim with gold standard questions, as the boys fight it out for spots on the podium. So heat up your croissants, chalk up your mits and get your hands off ya batton, we are about to go full send on this triple pike of a podcast and of course we always stick the landing.

Angus Bell chimes in on all things footy as The KOKO Show delivers a real ring dinger episode

This week on The KOKO Show we celebrate the mighty Wallabies going back to back to back in 2024, as we dive deep into the weekend's footy, throwing ‘Schmidt’ at the wall and seeing what sticks. With Mr Matt ‘Goitan’ Giteau sunning his bits and pieces in the SoCal summer, we have brought in a superstar replacement to adequately fill the void left by the richest man in Canberra. Our panelist this week is the fleet footed frontrower that cuts defenses up like a rusty old lawnmower, a baby faced bulldozer who will never hinge whilst getting off on a scrummaging binge. That is right, please welcome the bloke known as the Newington nightmare, he is all bells and no whistle and boy does he jingle all the way, it is the one and only Mr Angus Bell. In this week's episode we cover all the games from the weekend’s inter-tier bonanza of beat downs, we touch on San Diego’s disappointing exit from the MLR finals in our ‘Northern Hemisphere Legends’ segment and we have a little look at what the Wallabies need to work on moving into the upcoming TRC. Plus, it wouldn't be the KOKO spirit, without showing our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren some love, so we deliver you a ‘Match Fit’ straight from the catwalks of Milan, dripping in luxe living and dapper decadence. So pour yourself a double, spark up a winnie red and get cozy on your industrial strength water bed. This KOKO conniption is going to be a bumpy ride. Buckle up, be brave and get ready for your bell to be rung from all sides, it’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.Timecodes:00:00 - Show intro 01:33 - Polo Ralph Lauren plug02:41 - Introducing the boys04:07 - Introducing Angus Bell 05:31 - How Angus’ injury is coming along06:45 - Angus Bell cutting weight 08:24 - KOKO live show recap11:12 - Angus kicking as a prop15:07 - Wallabies v Georgia recap29:23 - Joe Schmidt selection headaches and overseas players31:35 - Angus’ favourite second rowers34:49 - Queensland Reds v Wales37:13 - Rebels players who might be going to the Waratahs39:50 - Simon Raiwalui joining the Waratahs staff 40:35 - ‘Match Fit’ brought to you by Polo Ralph Lauren45:50 - Socials pug46:50 - New merchandise drop announcement 48:05 - Angus tells a story about watching Drew play49:35 - All Black v Fiji recap54:19 - South Africa v Portugal recap57:53 - Uruguay v Argentina recap59:33 - Other international scores 01:02:09 - Northern Hemisphere Legends segment01:04:16 - The boys call Matt Giteau 01:07:41 - Angus Bell’s work with the ‘What Ability’ charity01:09:13 - Close of the showBig thanks to Polo Ralph Lauren for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.au/b/Polo%20Ralph%20LaurenBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE RIGHT NOW - 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.

Jonathan ‘Fox’ Davies brings some tangy tales from Wales this week on The KOKO Show

This week on The KOKO Show the boys bask in the ethereal light of back-to-back Wallabies victories over the willing Welsh, with the main focus being getting lit and talking Schmidt. As the Wallabies remain on pace for complete rugby world domination, the crew also find some time to break down the other ‘BIG DAWG’ Internationals from across the weekend, which saw the All Blacks pants England, Ireland put the Boks on the rocks and the Arigies fry up the French. With all this global footy lovin’ going on, we thought it would be fitting to bring in a guest that has faced all these foes and has come out the other side still baby faced and bushy tailed. This fella has played over 90 caps for Wales, he is a Six Nations Champion and has represented the Lions on six occasions. He is the headgear wearing hottie, the Bancyfelin bruiser and the vixen from the Valleys, it is of course Jonathan ‘Fox’ Davies. Plus, thanks to our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren brought to you by our beautiful friends at Myer, the lads are looking luminous, luscious and quite simply lovable in another stylish installment of ‘Match Fit’. We know we are too generous, but when you think we couldn't fit any more into this bloody show, we somehow find enough room to squeeze in the world's greatest pie and a little bit of Quiz action. That's right thanks to Four’N Twenty for sponsoring the KOKO Quiz and not only do they make pies that are 100% Aussie Beef, they are also 100% bloody delicious.So, instead of taking a long walk off a short jetty, just throw on your most luxurious activewear, Fosbury flop onto your favourite ottoman and just let the dulcet tones of four half pissed lunatics try and tell you what happened this week in the world of rugby. That’s right, it's time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons. Timecodes: 00:00 - Show Intro 01:10 - Polo Ralph Lauren and Four’N Twenty sponsorship plugs02:38 - Intros for the boys 05:43 - Recap of the crew’s week13:00 - Huge public response to Hugo sining last week15:02 - Rugby Round Up: Wallabies v Wales Game 222:47 - Prof talks about how Joe Schmidt is a calming influence23:42 - Introduce Jonathan Fox Davies27:16 - Best game in Jonathan Davies’ career28:30 - Jonathan getting picked over Brian O’Driscoll29:53 - Swoop has Brian O’Driscoll’s last Lions jersey 32:37 - Every team loves playing in Wales33:27 - Jonathan Davies on the current state of Welsh Rugby38:00 - Jonathan Davies wants to play Super Rugby44:47 - The KOKO Quiz brought to you by Four’N Twenty54:12 - Farewell for Jonathan Fox Davies 55:32 - Live Show plug at Wallabies v Georgia game57:02 - Holiday Swoop’s Hot Spots - Paddington 58:32 - Wallaroos v Black Ferns review 59:47 - ‘Match Fit’ brought to you by Polo Ralph Lauren01:05:39 - Socials and merch plug - KOKO Website 01:06:51 - Northern Hemisphere Legends/Losers01:07:27 - Ireland v South Africa review 01:16:34 - All Blacks v England review01:21:09 - Argentina v France review 01:24:01 - Other International Test match scores01:28:12 - Final thoughts01:32:16 - Close of the showBig thanks to Polo Ralph Lauren for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.au/b/Polo%20Ralph%20LaurenBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE RIGHT NOW - 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.

As you all know The KOKO Show always goes above and beyond for its fans and for a little extra content snack this week Mr Moneybags Giteau sits down with the fearless leader of the San Diego Seals team, and Legion tighthead prop, Mr Darcy Breen.Not unlike Bigfoot or the abominable snowman, we have been tracking down this big bopper for ages and now we have finally landed the man with more vertebrae than Healthy Harold the Giraffe. Gits picks his brain about a myriad of topics, such as, where his footy journey began, how to perfect the art of scrummaging, the benefits of a death-shake for bulking and why Mrs Incredible’s flexibility is so bloody attractive.So please sit back, keep your posture on point and the core engaged, as we wouldn't want anyone to slip a disc whilst listening to this neck roll of an interview.
