This week on The KOKO Show we have a very special episode for you. It is jam packed with all your ‘Ra Ra’ remedies and footy fixes, to ensure you, our faithful fans are up to date and completely informed for your next pint at the pub. In episode 24 the lads have gone above and beyond in the guest department landing three big names to dance with your souls, in what we guarantee to be an emotional rollercoaster. Our first cab off the rank, is Australian Rugby’s big dog, the KOKO Show’s muse and our faithful fearless leader, that is right it is the one and only Mr Joe Schmidt. Smokey Joe lights up our lives with his sweet nectar surrounding the upcoming Lions Series, as well as his hot takes on what has been a very intriguing Super Rugby season. Secondly, for a little palate cleanser, the boys are joined by two of the Reds’ most cuddly koalas in Fraser McReight and Tate McDermott, to get the players perspective on what will be a big year ahead for Aussie Rugby.

Plus, we cover all the X’s and O’s from a massive week of rugby the world over. The lads have a look at the last round of the Superb Rugby, whilst also previewing the upcoming Qualifying Finals, they chat about the finals footy landscape taking shape in Europe and finally who was crowned champion of the Japanese top league. In conclusion, we finish the show with another round of tough selections at the ‘Lion Tamer’ table, adding a plethora of great men to a squad who will confidently man handle those fragile feline phonies.

So sit back and let the dulcet tones of Joe Schmidt, the calmest man in World Rugby wash over and cleanse your soul. It has been scientifically proven that 30 mins of Joe a day, will quite simply make you a better person. It is time now for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we have pulled together an absolute humdinger of an episode for y’all, it has the perfect balance of flair, footy and funnies that will get the blood pumping to all your important places. To help us on that quest we enlisted the services of some Rugby Royalty, that is correct we have the Kiwi rig that every man and his dog could dig, a man with an aged pornstar handle-bar MO that would make even the most mild mannered spectator GO! Oooo baby please welcome our divine ruler Mr King Carlos Spencer. With the almighty ‘Los’ in toe, we discussed his playing career, his Mount Rushmore of teammates and what excites about his new coaching job in Ireland.

Plus, we deliver you a full deluge of rugby takeaways from round 15 of the Superb Rugby, the conclusion of the Pac 4 Women’s Championship and the two European finals over the weekend that saw Bordeaux and Bath emerge the victors. That is right there is more rugby that you can poke a fucking stick at, as well as some more cracking Mad Monday yarns and finally, the lads lock down some locks in our newest installemt of the ‘Lion Tamers’. So brush your teeth and don't forget to floss, because much like gingivitis and oral plaque build up this episode is going to STICK!

This week on The KOKO Show we have landed the biggest name in World Rugby. She has represented the USA at over 30 international Sevens Tournaments, won an Olympic medal and now she is doing her thing in the 15’s game in preparation for this year’s Rugby World Cup. Although her feats on the footy field are something to marvel at, it is her work off it that has further elevated her profile into superstardom. She is an authentic pioneer for women’s sport the world over, a total badass in the body positivity space and a media mogul in every sense of the title. It is of course the one and only Ilona Maher. The KOKO Crew with Ilona in tow discussed in depth what it was like growing up in Vermont, having success at the Olympic Games, sharing her messages of female empowerment and what is next for Ilona Maher after the 2025 Rugby World Cup. A chat that not only delves into the wins she has had on the rugby pitch, but an in depth look into the hard work and perseverance of a person that has taken the rugby world by storm and made it better.

Plus, the lads give you a full set of takeaways from round 14 of the Superb Rugby and the Wallaroos’ big win over the USA in Canberra. Moreover, we have a little gander at all the big talking points from the global rugby landscape in ‘Other Rugby News’, before locking in four more ‘Lion Tamers’ in our Aussie squad to take down those British and Irish bad boys. So, sit back and relax as we take a moment to marvel in the majesty of Ilona Maher, a person that has changed our game for good and will continue to put the Bae in Rug-Bae. It’s time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
