Jonny Wilkinson joins ‘The KOKO Show’ for launch of new season
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!
