Leinster are champions of the URC after a composed, clinical performance over a Bulls side that just didn't bring the fire. In Super Rugby, the Crusaders crush our dream (again) of the Blues pulling off a miracle, reminding us what finals footy really looks like. And the Chiefs? They take care of business against the Brumbies in a no-nonsense semi-final display. Plus, we serve up our usual helping of sideline nonsense — bold takes, bad analogies, and a bit of rugby therapy for long-suffering Blues fans. Grab a beer and enjoy!

This week on The KOKO Show the lads serve up a big old bowl of rugby flavoured frosted flakes, regaling tales of the tape from the South to the North and everywhere in between. To help us on this journey as the enemy creeps ever closer to our shores, we are pleased to unveil our new major sponsor for The Lions Tour, it is the one and only, delightfully delicious and surprisingly refreshing Guinness. With Guinness being the unofficial beer of rugby fans around the world, it is fitting they have partnered with us, as we are unanimously the unofficial podcast of rugby fans in all the galaxies. Moreover, the mighty KOKO Show has not only landed a blue-chip sponsor, but this week we are joined by a blue-chip guest. Swoop has once again put the rubber on the road and lured in one of rugby's dead set supernaturals. This fella has played 17 tests for the All Blacks as a player, but he truly found his calling in the coaching ranks, winning 3 World Cups and 4 Super Rugby titles; we think it is fair to say this bloke knows his x's and o's. It is of course the Oracle of New Zealand rugby and the ‘real' Professor of everything awesome, Sir Wayne Smith. With Wayne in tow the lads dove deep into the world of coaching, touching on what makes great coaches tick, how coaches can get the best out of their cattle and who he thinks will win the Lions Series based on style and structure. Plus, we wrap up the Superb Rugby semi-finals, the lads gander at the URC and Premiership Grand Finals and finally we look at the British and Irish Lions Series Winner odds powered by our dear friends at TAB. The lads then round out the show by locking in some more hungry ‘Lion Tamers' and running through our laundry list of Live Shows that are happening in each and every city. So sit back, relax and pour yourself a fresh juicy Guinness, this one will most certainly hit different. It is time now for the newest episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show06:30 - Announcement that Guinness is our Major Sponsor for The Lions Tour08:52 - Welcome Wayne Smith to the show 12:40 - What is Wayne doing now?13:18 - Wayne on coaching Swoop in Japan 18:07 - Wayne predicts the Super Rugby winner 21:32 - Wayne on how the Wallabies should play 26:21 - Wayne is a student of the game 34:05 - Wayne talks about the Lions Series 36:19 - Bench, Start and Drop 40:20 - Wayne's Lions Series Prediction 42:34 - How was everyone's weekend?50:13 - KOKO Live Show at Felons Barrel Hall in Brisbane51:49 - Rugby Round Up Segment 51:58 - CRUSADERS V BLUES REVIEW53:40 - CHIEFS V BRUMBIES REVIEW 58:54 - LEINSTER V BULL REVIEW 01:01:59 - BATH V LEICESTER REVIEW 01:07:29 - TOP 14 SEMI FINAL PREVIEWS 01:08:22 - TAB Sponsored Segment 01:10:46 - The Lion Tamers 01:14:58 - KOKO Live Show at the West Bulldogs in Brisbane01:16:00 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comLIVE SHOWS:Brisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Felons Barrel Hallhttps://www.sevenrooms.com/x1pJ8HnMBrisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Wests Bulldogshttps://www.trybooking.com/DCHAWMake 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.

The first domestic silverware of the year was handed out in London and Dublin, and Brett McKay and Harry Jones rip into it all for the first Grand Final edition of the Weekend Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. Bath and Leinster took the spoils in the Premiership and URC deciders respectively, the former overcoming a valiant Leicester and the latter doing enough to stay ahead of and withhold the Bulls. There were Semi Finals of contrast in the Top 14, and it was very similar in Super Rugby Pacific, just much angrier and fightier. And what on earth does any of this have to do with the 2000 film High Fidelity, starring John Cusack? It's a great question… Plus, the conference semi-finalists are underway in Major League Rugby in the States. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #SuperRugbyPacific #UnitedRugbyChampionship #Premiership #Top14 #JapanRugbyLeagueOne #MajorLeagueRugby Find us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BcKhb24YOtwQhKc0S3sDm Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-8-9-combo-rugby-podcast/id1729575866 Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Find Brett and Harry on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport + @HaribaldiJones Music: "Stalling" by Topher Mohr & Alex Elena (via YouTube Creator Studio) Voiceovers by Chookman + Sean Maloney Learn more about your ad choices.

Super Rugby Pacific talked a big game this season, promising better, faster rugby and better contests on the field, and even more ambitiously, they promised better social media presence and a significantly better fan engagement.

The Champions Cup final was a humdinger, but was Pollock a pillock or a Saint? Finally, will the Antipodean fans be able to grasp the inanity of the Super Rugby Pacific knockout (kinda, but not really?) round? (Hint: we struggled.) Have a listen to find out. PS. A big congrats to Ant and Phil, winners of our SRP and URC draft leagues, respectively! Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.
