Rain and the ref seem to be common excuses going around the South African water coolers this week, but in all honesty the Boks had only themselves to blame for gifting Ardie Savea a victory in his 100th Test. While the Springbok men failed to create history, the women will write a new chapter as they appear in their first ever RWC quarter final against New Zealand this week, lining up a tasty Kiwi doubleheader for Bok fans. Andy is optimistic this week about Rassie's brow-raising, youthful selections for the second Test, while Phil and Ant are more pragmatic. Perhaps even more gruelling than dissecting a Springbok loss is having to say nice things about the Wallabies for the third episode in a row. Yuck. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.
Australia came from behind to post their second victory of the Rugby Championship in dramatic style, turning down three game-tying penalties against Argentina to score the winning try in the 86th minute, as the All Blacks maintained their Eden Park fortress, downing the Springboks.Christy Doran and Matt To'omua are joined by Matt Taylor from Japan, where he is currently in his fourth year on the coaching staff at Ricoh Black Rams.

No easy wins, no freebies, and plenty of HIAs. The Boks have hit shuffle on the match 23 after the Auckland slip, but shaken? Not a chance. With new combinations set to be tested, all eyes are on how the green & gold bounce back. Meanwhile, Wilson chose courage over comfort, and with that one decision, the days of making up the numbers are over for the Wallabies.
This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by three whopping guests, that is right we are bringing you a smorgasbord of footy talent that can only be found on a podcast hosted by three Wallabies has-beens and one footy wannabe. With the RC completing its third lap around the sun the boys are joined by everyone's favourite moustachioed mountain big Willy Skelton to chat about the Wallabies massive comeback against Los Pumas, as well as the Boks coming up short at Eden Park against the All Blacks. Plus, big Willy gives us an exclusive scoop as to whether or not this large lump of loveable energy is available for selection when the Bledisloe Cup comes around. As the RC hits its midway point the results have never been closer and the stakes have never been higher, thus the KOKO lads unpack all the machinations that could possibly unfold in what is shaping up to be a magical final three matches. Plus, we are joined all the way from Brighton by two of the best Wallaroos that have ever laced them up. Both of these ladies are part of the fantastically fabulous 40 Cap club and they are both playing in their third World Cup, so please welcome the formidable pairing of Ashley Marsters and Trilleen Pomare. As the Wallaroos head into their Quarter-Final match-up against the clinical Canadians the girls shed some light on what it will take to beat the 2nd best team in the world and progress even further into the tournament. Plus, Ash and Trill have a little bone to pick with the Royal Family as a certain majesty had a little more time for the rampant Roses compared to our wonderful Wallaroos. With that all being said, it is time to practice your bow and work on your curtsey, as we serve up a new King sized episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 05:29 - Fathers Day and KOKO Learnings 13:36 - WALLABIES V ARGENTINA REVIEW 21:28 - Introduce Will Skelton 24:50 - Will's take on the Wallabies win26:01 - What it was like for Will to watch and not play 28:33 - Will on Harry Wilson's leadership30:40 - Will on Len Ikitau 32:20 - Will on the shape variation shown by the Wallabies 34:46 - Will on signing his contract too early 35:30 - Will on returning for the Bledisloe Cup 37:40 - Will's niggle in the Lions Series and the Sydney lightning delay 40:39 - Will's biggest learning from playing overseas 43:34 - Farewell to Will Skelton 45:17 - Welcome Ash Marsters and Trilleen Pomare 48:01 - The Wallaroos didn't get to meet Princess Kate49:39 - The girls talk about the attitude in camp heading into the QF's50:34 - Learnings from the England game that can be used against Canada 52:00 - How is this World Cup different from the others you have played?53:02 - How can you guys beat Canada? 53:50 - What is Ash Marsters fav position on the pitch? 54:40 - The girls chat about Brighton 56:08 - Farewell to the Wallaroos 58:17 - ALL BLACKS V SPRINGBOKS REVIEW 01:05:31 - No TRC in 2026 01:07:54 - Budgy Smuggler and KOKO Merch plug 01:09:34 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - 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.

An immediate game reaction pod this week. The most hyped game of the year delivered, the All Blacks held strong to keep their 30-year fortress intact and gave Ardie Savea the perfect 100th test celebration, while the Boks were left muttering about what could've been. Over in Townsville, the Wallabies played the role of international rugby's rom-com kings once again, pulling off another ridiculous comeback against the Pumas. And we talk BS and Rugby whilst smiling and slightly drunk. Grab a beer and Enjoy.
The Springbok Women will TODAY take up the mantle for South African Rugby when they take on France in the Women's Rugby World Cup tournament in Northampton, England . This after the Springboks suffered a 24-17 defeat to the All Blacks at Eden Park yesterday. Coach Rassie Erasmus has admitted his team were the architects of their own downfall and hinted at changes ahead of next weekend's must-win clash in Wellington.The Springbok Women, still celebrating their first-ever World Cup quarter-final qualification following a stunning win over Italy, face a formidable French squad, a side experts say boasts the experience and firepower to punish any lapse. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SABC rugby commentator, Renier Swart
Can you please stop letting the Springboks get into your head? Cause that is clearly what they're up to. That's why Rassie Erasmus has expressed all surprise at Razor's selections. He wants the team to second guess themselves. Who cares what he thinks? Now, he said, Oh, I'm surprised Fabian Holland's on the bench. It's designed to make Razor and all the lads think they've got this wrong already. And this is why he's called in Fuff de Clark - he doesn't need Fuff de Clark. That means he's got 4 halfbacks. What do you need 4 halfbacks for? He's just trying to remind the All Blacks that he's got 4 more halfbacks than they've got. That's what he's up to. It's just getting inside the head. It's niggling them, and it's working, isn't it? Cause go and have a look at the polls that there are today. The 2 polls on 2 different news websites asking if we think that the All Blacks are gonna win. And both of them have got the All Blacks winning, but jeez, only by just that, it's by a tiny margin. It's only like 53%, 54%, to the Boks winning 46, 47%. Normally, we've got way more confidence. Like, normally, we've got confidence that is a little OTT. But this is Eden Park. This is the fortress. If you're gonna win anywhere, you're gonna win at Eden Park. Where's our confidence? Even the ABs are nervous. If you heard Scottie Hansen, the assistant coach on with us yesterday, he admitted that. Now look, I don't think the All Blacks are gonna lose. I think they're gonna win. Because this game is more important to the All Blacks than it is to the Springboks, because to the Springboks it's just another game. That's all it is, right? But to the All Blacks, it's defending the fortress and defending the fortress when they can see that the country doesn't think that they're gonna be able to, and the ABs thrive on this stuff. Remember when Fozzie was about to get the sack? Mark Robinson from NZR flew over to Joburg to give him the sack. Remember when that was about to happen? Suddenly, the All Blacks just rallied and beat the Springboks to stop him getting the sack because they had something to play for. And the same is true here, they've got something to play for. Plus, as Scotty Hansen said yesterday, the All Blacks seem to play better when they're nervous. It's when people expect them to win, when they expect to win that they weirdly drop the ball. Now, don't forget, we might have been beaten by the Argies, but the Boks were beaten by the Wallabies. So they're not on that much of a streak, are they? Relax. The All Blacks have got it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
One of the All Blacks' most anticipated test matches of the year will take place at Eden Park this Saturday, as they go up against the Springboks. It's a rivalry almost as old as the game itself, so today on NZ Sporting History, we wanted to look back on some of the great All Blacks V Springboks moments. Veteran sports journalist and broadcaster Phil Gifford chats to Emile.
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has kept faith with most of the players who beat the Wallabies, as he named his team for Saturday's Rugby Championship showdown against the All Blacks at Eden Park. Jesse Kriel will again captain the side, while there are four changes to the starting XV. Eben Etzebeth returns to the second row for his 136th Test, with Ruan Nortje alongside him. Siya Kolisi shifts to No 8, with Pieter-Steph du Toit back at flank. Willie le Roux also returns at fullback for his 101st Test after missing the last match with a niggle. On the bench, Jan-Hendrik Wessels, Kwagga Smith and Ethan Hooker come in, as Erasmus sticks with a settled squad featuring 17 players from the Cape Town victory. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC Sports News Anchor, Jon Gericke
The hype is off the charts! The World Champion Springboks are storming into Eden Park, the All Blacks' fortress, where no one has won since 1994 (back before we had pubes). Will the Boks finally break the curse, or will the All Blacks once again prove Eden Park is basically Hogwarts with goalposts?We'll also look ahead to the Wallabies vs Pumas showdown, dive into the Women's Rugby World Cup, check in on the Pacific Nations Cup, and give the NPC the airtime it deserves. The hype is real.Grab a beer and enjoy!Sorry Tony has audio issues for about 10 minutes near the start,
The ARP crew breaks down which areas will be key for the All Blacks to end their four-match losing streak against the Springboks.We catch up with Jordie Barrett about his Ireland experience, Damian De Allende and the Boks.There's a full analysis of the Black Ferns progress before their vital pool clash against Ireland.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The All Blacks were a flaming dumpster fire this week, and as loyal fans we are disgusted. Razor's backline looked like they'd just met in the carpark before kickoff, and Argentina gleefully ran riot in front of delirious Buenos Aires fans. Over in South Africa, the Wallabies gave the Boks a proper scare of potentially going back to back… until James O'Connor's boots decided they were made of Play-Doh. Grab a beer and enjoy.

It's one win each after the first two rounds of the Rugby Champs, Superbru picks are in tatters, and the tournament is wide open. No second-half déjà vu for the Boks in the Cape, while the All Blacks will want to forget theirs as Los Pumas finally shook the monkey off their back. And as for the Wallabies? Write them off at your peril.
In dieser eindrucksvollen Lesung in der Mark Twain Bibliothek nimmt uns Autor und Slam Poet Aron Boks mit auf eine persönliche und zugleich historische Spurensuche. Ausgangspunkt ist ein Gemälde seines Urgroßonkels Willi Sitte – einer der einflussreichsten Künstler der DDR. Als bei einem Familientreffen das Gemälde „Die Heilige Familie“ auftaucht, beginnt Aron Fragen zu stellen: Wer war Willi Sitte wirklich? Was trieb ihn an? Die Recherche führt Aron Boks tief in die deutsch-deutsche Geschichte – von den Wirren des Zweiten Weltkriegs über die DDR bis in die Nachwendezeit. Dabei begegnet er Zeitzeugen wie Ingrid Sitte, Wolf Biermann, Gerhard Wolf und Volker Braun. Für Aron, der die DDR selbst nicht erlebt hat, wird die Auseinandersetzung mit Willi Sitte auch zu einer Auseinandersetzung mit sich selbst.
This week on the KOKO Show we deliver you some serious double trouble in the guest department, as we are joined by Italian Centurion Martin Castrogiovanni live in the studio and all the way from Manchester the Wallaroos swiss army knife Lori Cramer gets up early to talk some shop. The big, bold and extremely beautiful Castrogiovanni shakes off the effects of ‘Fiji Time' to join the lads live on set and chat about the Boks bouncing back in Cape Town over the Wallabies and how the ‘Win' Pumas created history knocking off the All Blacks for the first time on home soil. However, when Castro is in your presence it isn't all fun filled frivolities about footy, this former tight headed loose unit has had a colourful career, filled with funny yarns, huge fines and kick ass parties. So get ready to laugh your finest Italian Merino socks off, because this larger than life long haired larikin really blows the bloody doors off. Plus, all the way from sunny old ‘Mancs' Lori Cramer jumps online to discuss the Wallaroos' smash up job of Samoa in match one of the RWC, as well as how the girls are shaping up to take on the foe adorned in stars and stripes, the USA in match two. She opens up about what life is like in camp, the pressures surrounding a good World Cup run, as well as admitting to the fact that she might actually be the Drew Mitchell of the Wallaroos squad. So ladies and gentlemen, sit back, relax and enjoy the KOKO ride, because this old chestnut takes some tangy twists and turns.

All is not well in Springbok Nation despite squaring the series with the Wallabies, as Brett McKay and Harry Jones delve into another TRC Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast, after South Africa accounted for Australia 30-22 at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town. Yes, the ‘Boks got the win, and yes, there was a reaction, but its level of convincingness will vary among the Springbok faithful. A Wallabies side besieged with injuries throughout the wet-weather contest on the Cape has kept South Africa to three tries while posting another three themselves, with the boot of Handre Pollard the main difference. In truth, the result will leave both teams walking away annoyed they didn't convert more opportunities. Oh, and now it's totally OK to sign autographs in the middle of a Post-Mortem recording!

The Lions drew first blood in Brisbane, taking the 1st Test over the Wallabies, but did they leave points (and polish) out on the paddock? The All Blacks notched another win against an understrength French side, but with more dirt-trackers in the mix this time, are we building depth or just delaying the big questions? Meanwhile, the Boks put Georgia away with ease... but was it convincing, or just clinical?Join us as we dissect a weekend of almosts, maybes, and "meh-that'll-do" performances from the big boys.

The Boks have wrapped up their on-field preparations for the Rugby Championship with a testing but worthy win over the physical Georgians. All that remains is to sit back and watch the dull, light beer clashes Down Under while Rassie fine tunes his first choices.

Normal service resumes! The All Blacks knock over a depleted French outfit, the Boks batter Italy (with a side of Rassie's signature shithousery), and the Lions dish out a thumping to the AU-NZ mash-up team in a match only a mother could love. Oh—and Wales actually won a game. That's 1 win from their last 20. Momentum, baby.Grab a beer and Enjoy!
OG Adam is back for a guest appearance this week and drops a few hot takes for good measure. Is Henco van Wyk the Marco van Staden of centres? We're not convinced, but we're here for it anyway. Jasper sees red as the Boks run over the top of Italy, NZ get their groove back, and the Lions loom large for the Wallabies as the first Test draws nearer. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

The ARP crew look into what the All Blacks got right and wrong versus France, whether the Boks wingers are the world's best combo and whether the Aussie defence stands a chance against the Lions.Jippa, Bryn and Ross analyse the trend of running over kicking, with the All Blacks, Springboks and Lions changing the face of test rugby.

What do Steve and Mike Wosniak have in common? Well, it's not rugby as we find out in this mythbusting ERB episode. There was a lot of rugby to cover with the international season underway. The Boks managed to keep down an unexpectedly strong Italian espresso with no help from the bomb squad (cue the fireworks). New Zealand nearly choked on a C-grade baguette while Fiji couldn't quite stomach an undercooked kangaroo steak. We expected a mauling from the Lions but it was with a hiss rather than a roar that they overcame the Tahs. This and more in a bumper episode from Ant, Phil and Andy.
