Podcasts about Test match

This week on The KOKO Show the lad's souls are bent but most certainly not broken. After eight weeks of touring alongside the Lions, KOKO has returned home to bind their wounds and rebuild for what is going to be an exciting Rugby Championship. Thanks to our dear friends at Guinness we break down Test Match three in our ‘Perfect Pour' segment and the lads celebrate the fact that this young Australian team are building to something special with a home World Cup on the horizon in 2027. The fellas looked in every nook and cranny from Saturday night's game and they have determined that the Lions are worthy winners of the 2025 series, however, they opened up both barrels on all the pundits that claimed it wouldn't be worth touring to Australia and that Wallabies are not worthy foe… How do you like us now? So as we put a tidy little bow on this record breaking series, bathe in Wallabies glory and get a new script for Doxycycline from our GPs, the lads turn their attention to the TRC and how this young Aussie side will go against the other Southern Hemisphere juggernauts in only a matter of weeks. So sit back, relax and wave goodbye to the sea of red, congratulations on the series win but please politely leave this country that you sent us to and don't come back for another 12 or so years… only kidding. Sorry we got carried away. It is now time for a buoyant and happy episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 03:24 - Prof's David v Goliath debate 04:54 - KOKO Learnings 11:08 - WALLABIES V LIONS TEST MATCH 3 REVIEW16:19 - Guinness Perfect Pour Segment 22:23 - Prof's Sexy Stats brought to you by Active Ops 28:20 - KOKO Lions Series Awards 35:40 - KOKO Lads Tour Highlights 40:58 - Looking forward to the TRC 41:52 - WALLAROOS V WALES REVIEW AND WC SQUAD43:38 - Merch Update 44:46 - Sponsor shoutouts 46:07 - The lads sum up the Lions Series 49:30 - Socials and website49:49 - Thanking the crew 50:44 - Sydney Carnage Package 01:02:34 - 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.

This week on the KOKO Show the lads try and pick up the pieces after experiencing what was an emotional weekend for Aussie rugby fans in Melbourne. If you have been living under a rock, the Wallabies were pipped at the post on Saturday by a resurgent Lions team that claimed a big series win 2-0 at the MCG. Despite being heartbroken and frustrated with the result the KOKO lads paint on a pretty smile and give you a full review of what happened at the ‘G' in Guinness' ‘Perfect Pour' segment and they reiterate just how important it is for the Wallabies to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and show up big in Sydney. The lads are joined by one of the greatest to ever do it in George Gregan and they discuss how the series might be done but the ability to keep writing this resurgent Aussie rugby narrative is well and truly still on track. With George's rugby mind overflowing with brilliance the KOKO Crew dive deep into the psyche of a champion to see where he believes Aussie rugby is at and where it needs to go. So, sit back, relax and tip your cap to the Lions, they deserve our respect. It is time for an all new yet slightly sorrowful episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show 03:09 - KOKO Learnings 09:42 - WALLABIES V LIONS GAME 2 REVIEW 24:28 - Guinness Perfect Pour Segment 29:12 - Guinness Sydney Live Show plug 29:28 - KOKO welcomes George Gregan 32:48 - Greegs' take on Test Match 2 34:00 - If Greegs was captain what would he have said at halftime?35:46 - Greegs' take on the Gordon and Lynagh combo 37:05 - Greegs on why he wont lace the boots up again 40:07 - Drew talking about how Greegs used to say wingers shouldn't go into touch41:20 - Greegs on where Aussie rugby is at right now 46:13 - Greegs on how good this Lions team is 47:58 - Greegs on that decision 50:09 - Greegs on John Eales as a captain 54:03 - The boys on what they learnt from George 01:01:02 - BENCH, START AND DROP01:05:52 - Sexy Stats brought to you by Active Ops01:08:34 - TAB Segment 01:11:09 - MJ Bale ticket plug 01:11:02 - WALLAROOS V WALES 01:11:55 - MERCH PLUG01:14:15 - KOKO Melbourne carnage packageBUY 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.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Jamie and Stu look back at the fourth Test between England and India, plus New Zealand's victory in the T20 Tri-Series final against South Africa. We also look ahead to the 5th Test in the UK and the Black Caps v Zimbabwe series. We start the show by talking about India's fantastic fightback on days 4 and 5 of the Test at Old Trafford, which saw the series remain at 2-1 with one match to play. There were hundreds for Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja, but also some controversy surrounding the conclusion of the day's play. Ben Stokes wasn't happy then, but he'd done plenty to earn his player of the match award, taking a 5-wicket bag and scoring 100 across the course of the Test. Joe Root was equally impressive, and Rishabh Pant's bravery stood out for the visitors. We round out the India v England conversation with a discussion about potential and probable changes the 5th and final Test. To finish the show, Stu chimes in to highlight the Black Caps' unbeaten run to some T20 silverware in Zimbabwe, which culminated in a dramatic final against South Africa. With 7 runs needed from 6 balls, Matt Henry stepped up and, with the help of two fantastic catches in the outfield, closed out the victory for New Zealand. In addition, we look ahead to the upcoming Test series against Zimbabwe. We'll be back in your feed next week to recap the England v India and NZ v Zimbabwe Tests.

Die Lions gewinnen die Serie in einem Test Match für die Ewigkeit.

Jon Norman is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to look back at Day 4 of the fourth Test between England and India, with India closing on 174-2, but still trailing by 137 runs. They discuss Ben Stokes becoming the first England captain to score a century and take a five-wicket haul in the same Test Match, reflect on potentially match-saving half-centuries from both Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, and debate if England have enough in a bowling attack without Ben Stokes to force a victory in this game.

This week on the KOKO Show we come to you from the glorious confines of the MJ Bale flagship store in Martin Place, Sydney. The lads are dressed to impress with some silky threads that lift the spirits and allow the human form to podcast like they have never podcasted before, all thanks to MJ Bale. We have arrived ladies and gentlemen, the first Test Match between the Lions and the Wallabies is soon upon us and the KOKO Crew couldn't be more up and about at the prospect of two great teams doing battle at Suncorp Stadium. To help us along this joyous journey, we have enlisted the help of two very special guests. The first has played over 90 caps for Wales and he was one of the brave men that took down the Wallabies in 2013, it is none other than Dr Jamie Roberts and the other is triple international, cross-code footy legend and rugby media's leading lady Allana Ferguson. Jamie joins the lads for the first half of the show to muse and discuss how both sides will shape up and prepare this week leading into the first Test. We discuss potential tactics, predicted sides and what the Lions will do to navigate this growing laundry list of injured players. Plus, ‘The King' sticks around to give us his ‘Perfect Pour' from the weekend just gone, all thanks to our headline sponsor Guinness, as well as playing a little game of ‘Which Lion Was it Anyway?'We have always said, when one guest leaves you replace them with someone better. Step to the fore Allana Ferguson. All thanks to our great friends at TAB, Allana joined the show to crunch the odds heading into the first Test Match this Saturday in Brisbane. Plus, she unleashes her depth of knowledge to give us a full wrap of the Wallaroos' encouraging loss to the Black Ferns in Wellington and how the ladies are shaping up with the Rugby World Cup on the horizon this August. So in summation, it is time to bloody lock in. We have waited 12 long years to get our chance at revenge against this crimson clad gaggle of geezers and let's not let this one slide. They have taken over our beaches, booked up our restaurants and are smugly drinking our beer. But they will never take our podcast! It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

Big scores and statement wins were all the rage, as Brett McKay and Harry Jones pull apart another big weekend of July Internationals on the Weekend Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. The AUNZ XV offered throwback jerseys but not much else to the British & Irish Lions in Adelaide, the All Blacks delivered the obsessive, emphatic result over France the pundits so desperately wanted a week earlier to prove their point, the Springboks were at the innovative best in dispatching Italy, and England completed the two-game sweep of Argentina.

10 Tage vor dem ersten Test Match sind noch einige Baustellen bei den Lions offen.

This week on The KOKO Show we are joined in the studio by great mate of the pod, Japanese rugby's hunkiest half and Wallabies legend, Mr Bernard “The IceMan' Foley. The Nard Dog along with the KOKO Crew go really deep on the Wallabies' last gasp win over the Flying Fijians in Newcastle, as well as breaking down the Lions' hard fought victory over the gallant Waratahs in an all new serving of the ‘Perfect Pour' thanks to our headline sponsor Guinness. Plus, the guys get caught up in the beauty of numbers as they preview all the upcoming matches on the British and Irish Lions Tour, focusing heavily on the Lions' clash with the Brumbies this Wednesday all thanks to our great mates at TAB. If you thought to yourself, that just doesn't seem to be enough footy for my liking, we also run you through the AUNZ Invitational XV that will take on the Lions this Saturday and the guys mount a case about how this star-studded roster might be the team to tame these freckle faced felines. Finally, to round out this pleasure packed pod of production perfection we couldn't help but bring back a second instalment of the highly anticipated game that is sweeping the nation 'Which Lion Was It Anyway?' So, sit back, relax, pour yourself an ice cold Guinness and please avoid any large groups of Lions fans. To paraphrase one of the greatest movies of all time ‘Cool Runnings' - ‘Feel the rhythm!

Ant, Phil and Andy recap the two season finales for URC and Super Rugby as well as the non-Test between the B&I Lions (minus Leinster) and Argentina (minus most of their first choice French clubbers). The Lions head off to Australia with more questions than answers but Ant like a good Brit thinks this might be a good thing. The Super Clubs of Leinster and the Crusaders add more trophies to their storied histories, and the Bulls bullies get taught a lesson at Choke, I mean Croke, Park. Meanwhile, attention turns to the Test window, with an appetizer in the form of the BaaBaas in Cape Town who have already run up significant bills at Caprice in Clifton if rumours are to be believed.

It's one simple question ... one really difficult answer, WHO'S YOUR GOAT? Aku tells us his, and tells us why.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, rugby league was a code looking to expand nationally after the success of its premier competition in Sydney. Clubs emerged in Brisbane, Newcastle, and the Gold Coast. Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation took the growth in the sport as an indication it ought to expand even further and plotted a coup, to take the running of the code out of the hands of the establishment - the Australian Rugby League. What followed was a war that ripped the sport apart with Murdoch on one side and the other, backed by another multi-millionaire media mogul, Kerry Packer. It was mogul against mogul, club against club, and players against players. In this episode of Judgements we take a deep dive on how and why the war began - and how the game came back together to form what is now the National Rugby League.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He also tells Stumped why cricket at the Olympics must be different and not solely about the big nations like the Champions Trophy.Plus, a new era for England's women is underway.

On 15 March 1877 play began between England and Australia in Melbourne. So began an extraordinary tradition of the finest form of sport: the Test Match. An incredible innovation that involved two teams playing cricket for up to nine days in one case, it is unique in sporting contests. However Test Cricket is bound up by Empire, class and race. Great teams have been barred from competing, and there have been moments of high controversy including Bodyline and the D 'Oliveira Affair. One thing remains constant: the England batting collapse. Joining today is cricket writer Tim Wigmore, journalist at the Telegraph and author of a wonderful new book, Test Cricket: A History. He joins to discuss all the above and more.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Jamie, Baldy and Stu discuss an eventful week, which saw the return of the IPL but not all its players, the Test cricket retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, squad news galore and some potential candidates emerge for the Black Caps coaching role. We start by talking about the IPL's resumption and the players such as Jos Buttler and Mitchell Starc who have decided not to return or will need to depart for the playoff stages as the international calendar fills up again. Does previous form go out the window? And how will teams manage the disruption? Next we discuss the Test Cricket retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Was it the right time? What legacy have they left? How will they be remembered? Who will replace them? And does their departure put Test cricket in danger? We round out the show by bouncing around a couple of upcoming Test matches - England's first match of the summer, against Zimbabwe, and the World Test Championship Final between Australia and South Africa - as well as the latest reports emerging about the Black Caps' coaching search.

Season 18, Episode 13: To those who question Kohli's place as a Test great because he didn't average enough or quite make enough career runs, it is fair to say we do not agree. And his old teammate Rohit Sharma went alright too. After moving away from the retiring Indian pair, we stay in that part of the world to review about a wild week off the field before returning to England for Australia's WTC selection squeeze and a thrilling county round.
