We're just days away from the Wallabies v British & Irish Lions Test Match, but why haven't the protagonists on each side emerged yet? Lee Calvert from the Blood & Mud podcast joined Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast to ponder what the series has so far missed. Tidbits about the teams are starting to filter out. The Coach may not pick the Son. Storylines of heartbreak and triumph are emerging, and Exclusives will be claimed. Some will even be actually exclusive. But there is still a treading-water feel about this build-up. Maybe that changes when the teams are announced on Thursday.

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.

Whenever there's success at the top level of international rugby in New Zealand, more often than not there is one specific name involved. Known as the ‘Scrum Doctor', Mike Cron was an assistant coach for the All Blacks for more than 200 games, winning the 2011 and 2015 World Cups. He then came out of retirement in 2022 to join the Black Ferns, helping them win a world title as well, before shifting over to join the Wallabies. In the midst of all this, he's written a book: ‘Coach: Lessons from an All Black Legend'. Cron told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he's always had a thirst for knowledge, and found ideas from looking at other elite sports. “I've never been really interested in rugby coaching seminars,” he said. “They left me a bit bland, so to speak. Y'know, they just showed you a new drill or something.” Ballet and sumo are two sports he's pulled ideas from, saying the key is to go in with an open mind. “If you've got an open mind and you look and listen, there will be some, some bit of gold there for you.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Argentina's win over the British & Irish Lions was just one more achievement in a 12 month period where they also defeated the All Blacks, the Springboks and the Wallabies for the first time ever. But this wasn't just a milestone for Argentinian rugby, but for South American Rugby as a whole. The Los Pumas side that beat the Lions contained players from Super Rugby Americas - the young league encompassing teams from Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and Chile. Along with Argentina, those nations are now starting to emerge as challengers on the rugby circuit. In this podcast I speak to Joe Santamaria from the Rugby Paper and ESPN. He's on the ground in Buenos Aires and gives me the inside scoop on Argentina's acceleration on both the international and domestic front. He tells me all about Super Rugby Americas and how it is super charging the World Cup ambitions of Uruguay, Chile & Brazil. Last but not least, he educates me on the most exciting development of all: the advancement of the Brazilian national women's rugby team. The HG rugby podcast is all about telling the stories you don't get to hear anywhere else. By interviewing people from across the globe I hope to enhance people's enjoyment of rugby by informing of the hidden achievements of those outside the mainstream.
