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.

Between the ages of 12-14, girls are twice as likely to drop out of sport as boys Typically if young people drop out, they don't return, so they miss out on the many benefits of playing sport as an adult. From a developmental perspective this age is really critical for girls who are often going through puberty and associated body changes, which can bring with it an increased self-awareness, and not always in a good way. Another corresponding change is that girls at this age can often start to become more critical of themselves and often compare themselves to others. So the last thing they need is more pressure from us on the side-line! Some new research from 2degrees found that's exactly what girls feel from us, not only in when we shout out from the sideline, but also what we shout out from the sideline. 55% of girls surveyed feel more pressure when there are supporters present and 99% said that the right type of support would help keep them in sport for longer. They said that support when losing is twice as important as support when they're winning. And there's a fine line between pressure vs encouragement. Comments girls said belong on the encouraging side of the line: “Good job, keep going” “I'm proud of you” “We've got this, girls” “I believe in you” “Keep your head up” Comments that cross into pressure: "Just keep pushing” “You can do better than that” “You're not playing like we know you can play” “Mark that person” “Get up” “Pass/tackle/run!” or yelling instructions mid-play The key point is that girls are under enough pressure from themselves without us as supporters adding to this – what they need is our encouragement, and sometimes the line between these things can be hard for us to draw as adults. One really practical outcome of this survey is that clubs and schools can order a free SupportHER Line pack from 2degrees – this comes with an actual physical line that you can be put around your field or court to help remind supporters of the line between encouragement and pressure. If you want to see what this looks like, it's going to be printed on the field tonight for the Black Ferns v Wallaroos match at GoMedia Stadium.
