THE KOKO SHOW IS BACK and this week we've brought in some serious front-row firepower, with Springboks legend and two-time Rugby World Cup winner STEVEN KITSHOFF joining the show! The big red unit jumps on the couch with the boys to talk all things Springboks, scrums, World Cups and life after footy — plus, with one of rugby's most famous redheads in the building, there was only one thing to do… THE GREAT KOKO REDHEAD QUIZ! Can Kitshoff prove that gingers really do know more about their own kind?On the rugby front, the boys get stuck into another massive weekend of international footy, starting with the ALL BLACKS taking down the SPRINGBOKS in Rugby's Greatest Rivalry. We break down where the Test was won and lost, the standout performances and what it means as these two heavyweight nations continue their epic battle for southern hemisphere supremacy.Across the ditch, the BLACK FERNS got the better of the WALLAROOS, and the lads unpack where Australia fell short and what needs to change as the Wallaroos continue their push to close the gap on their Kiwi rivals.Then we turn our attention to a HUGE challenge for the Wallabies with a FULL ARGENTINA v WALLABIES PREVIEW. We look at the key match-ups, players to watch, where the Wallabies can hurt Los Pumas and exactly what Australia needs to do to get the job done in Argentina.Of course, it wouldn't be KOKO without a little bit of chaos away from the rugby. The boys talk up the upcoming Cape Mentelle Long Lunch, where the wine flows, the stories get longer and the conversation inevitably heads somewhere it probably shouldn't.And finally, with Father's Day just around the corner, Budgy Smuggler presents ‘THE YEAR OF THE TAH' — our very special celebration of dads, Tahs and the magnificent men who proudly pull on a pair of smugglers.So sit back, crack something cold and enjoy another massive episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons — The KOKO Show!GET AROUND IT, KOKO-NUTTERS!CAPE MENTELLE LONG LUNCH TICKETS - https://capementelle1.rezdy.com/774038/2026-bledisloe-cup-lunchTIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Start of the show 00:31 – First thoughts on All Blacks v Boks 02:51 – Introduce Steven Kitshoff 04:25 – Steven's take on Game 1 07:01 – The Springbok bench 08:24 – Steven's take on the All Blacks 09:51 – How would the week look for the Boks? 12:39 – New Zealand are World Number 1 13:24 – What was it like playing with Swoop? 14:33 – Bomb Squad beer 17:17 – Steven after the spine injury 18:00 – The scrum battle in Game 1 19:24 – Go inside a prop's head 21:28 – The Red Head Quiz 27:01 – BENCH, START AND DROP 27:57 – Steven on playing the KOKO guys 28:47 – The atmosphere at Ellis Park 30:10 – Game 2 predictions 32:03 – Black Ferns v Wallaroos 35:55 – Cape Mentelle Long Lunch 41:32 – Argentina v Wallabies preview 48:12 – Predictions 50:40 – Budgy Smuggler Father's Day 55:09 – Close the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us info@shtn.com.au.

With two weeks of Super Rugby Pacific remaining, Aussie fans are facing more questions than ever before.The Brumbies and Reds remain in the top six - but only just after the Tahs (7th) and Force (9th) closed the gaps with vital wins over the Drua (50-35) and Reds (19-14) respectively.Queensland coach Les Kiss was left red-faced after a swathe of Wallaby resting came back to haunt his side while the New South Wales backline seemingly sparked to life without injured superstar Joseph-Aukuso Suaalli.What about the Force undoes a Queensland side (barring a woeful lineout) - and where has that attack been from the Tahs?Join Mitch and Lachie to unpack all the Round 13 and ask - which Aussie teams will make the finals in 2026?Patreon - https://patreon.com/ScrumbagsRugbyWallaby Shop - https://wallaby.sjv.io/WyRyVGLinktree - https://linktr.ee/Scrumbags_rugbyInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/scrumbagsrugby/Twitter/X - @scrumbagsrugby Hosted on Acast.

This week on the KOKO Show we take a philanthropic approach to talking absolute garbage and sprinkling our chaos with just the right amount of rugby. Although we didn't give you a guest this week, we make up for it ten fold with a sublime wrap up of all the rugby that took place in the Pacific, including the Tahs big upset of the in form ACT Shetland Ponies and how the Canes just keep rolling. Plus, we have a little mental health check-in on all the lads, we belatedly celebrate the births of Drew and Swoop and we play a cheeky little game of Never have I ever. We are well aware this show is simply the 50 minutes attached to the segment that is sweeping the nation, so without fail we serve up a truly centered and holistic version of ‘What's in Swoop's Temu Cupboard'. So sit back, relax and let the inane chatter of four has-beens fill the void in your life that has been vacant for so long. Here at KOKO we want to wish you all a happy and safe Easter and may the bunny be bad for your waistlines. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we are foraging around the world of rugby as lone rangers lost in a wilderness of psychedelic southern footy and naturally naughty northern Internationals. That is right, we are serving up an extra sloppy no guest nonsense for you, allowing our little island of misfit degenerates to spread their wings and do what they do best, talk absolute rubbish and little bit of rugby. First up, we get stuck right into all the action of Super Rugby from the weekend that saw the Reds sneak home against the unbeaten Brumbies, the Blues castrate the Crusaders and the Canes show the Tahs who is daddy. Just to name a few, plus we get right into the nitty gritty with the Guinness Six Nations, with Ireland downing the Dragons, the English getting pantsed by the panettone producing Italians and the Scots telling the French where they can escargot! Plus, we break down all the magical machinations heading into the final week of games as the best comp in the world (so they say) goes down to the wire. Finally, the lads have a little fun around fire as they pick out some famous rugby appendages, they hand out some ‘Re-KOKO-mendations' for the fans and of course we finish with our very own ‘Titan of Temu'. So sit back, relax and get out your night vision goggles, KOKO is about to go full stealth. It is time for an all new Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

We're a month into Super Rugby Pacific and no closer to finding out which Aussie team will be sacrificed in a NZ semi final. The Reds roll down to Canberra and commit late-night robbery in the 81st minute while the Force and Tahs are dealt two very different - but equally painful - Kiwi lessons.How've they missed that Daugunu knock-on? Who won out of Wilson and Cale? And what have the Tahs got to do to keep Suaalii on the bloody paddock?Join Mitch and Lachie for a thoroughly centrist dissection.Wallaby Shop - https://wallaby.sjv.io/WyRyVGLinktree - https://linktr.ee/Scrumbags_rugbyInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/scrumbagsrugby/Twitter/X - @scrumbagsrugbyPatreon - https://patreon.com/ScrumbagsRugby Hosted on Acast.

This week on the KOKO Show we got down and dirty with the buff, broad and beautiful captain of the NSW Waratahs Mr Matt Philip. With Matt riding comfortably in our side-car of craziness, the lads chat about the Tahs hot start to 2026, his return home to skipper his childhood team and lastly we play a little game of TRUE of FALSE the Matt Philip edition. Plus, the boys get hot and bothered about round two of the Superb Rugby, talking all things oval ball in the Pacific, as well as, a little trip up North to chat Six Nations footy, focussing heavily on French flare and English despair. Furthermore, Drew this week has been enamoured about the plight of the Japanese monkey Punch and his hardships he has faced after being disowned and bullied in captivity. Thus, we have launched a new segment where the boys illuminate something in their lives that they just can't let go of, all whilst holding ‘Hope' the orangutan of comfort. Lastly but certainly not the least, we are back with a couple of juicy segments to round out the ep, Swoop adds a few more items to his Temu cupboard and the lads play a little game called ‘Guess that Salad'. So sit back, relax and think about how shit England is at rugby. If that can't make you smile then you must be dead inside, but for now it is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

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. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

Though if you are a Reds, Brumbies or Force fan, hook this into your veins. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
