Ugo, Sara, Katy Daley-McLean and Philippa Tuttiett reflect on a mixed day for the home nations at the Women's Rugby World Cup. England and Scotland are into the quarter-finals, but defeat to Canada sees Sean Lynn's Wales eliminated. Despite their tournament ending after only two matches, are there still plenty of positives for Wales to draw upon? The 92-3 victory over Samoa was the Red Roses' biggest in World Cup history, but did the moment of the game belong to the Pacific Islanders? And who from an England perspective shone in Northampton? We also discuss Scotland reaching the last eight of a World Cup for the first time since 2012.
Can Wales shock Canada this weekend? Will Scotland and Ireland book their place in the quarter-finals? Sara and Philippa Tuttiett look ahead to a huge weekend for the three home nations. Sean Lynn has made a raft of changes, but are his side capable beating one of the tournament favourites to stay in the World Cup? Former Ireland international Anna Caplice explains how Scott Bemand how transformed the team on and off the field since taking charge and how far they have come since her playing days. Andy Burke from the BBC's Scotland pod outlines their progress and who could be the breakout star of their team. Plus, there is an injury setback for the Red Roses ahead of their clash against Samoa in Northampton.

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.

En el Londres victoriano, Robert Louis Stevenson narró en El extraño caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde la dualidad humana: la calma y la furia conviviendo en una misma persona. Hoy, Pablo G. Pérez-González (CAB) cuenta que, a 12.000 millones de años luz, el telescopio James Webb ha revelado un sistema de dos galaxias hermanas, tan distintas, que han sido bautizadas Jekyll y Hyde. Jekyll es una galaxia apagada: en sus primeros millones de años formó estrellas con intensidad, pero después se detuvo, quedando en silencio. Hyde, en cambio, es turbulenta y polvorienta, un hervidero de nuevas estrellas que nacen a un ritmo frenético. Ambas conviven en un entorno lleno de gas, acompañado de estructuras bautizadas como Eastfield, Mr. West y Dr. Sodium. El conjunto fue llamado Grupo Tusitala, en honor al apodo que los habitantes de Samoa dieron a Stevenson, “el que cuenta historias”. Así, literatura y cosmos vuelven a encontrarse.
