Podcast appearances and mentions of Will Genia

This week on The KOKO Show the boys are joined by a Wallabies Test Centurion, pint sized powerhouse and just all around great bloke. This fella was known for his delicious service from the base of the ruck and the amazing ability to live on a steady diet of self confidence and Pepsi Max. That is right, Will Genia drops by to impart his wisdom, footy insights and humour on our delightful panel of dullards. In this episode the boys break down the All Black's nail biting victory over England, as well as Scotland's schooling of a feeble Fiji at Murrayfield. Fret not ye KOKO cool cats, this is not where the ‘ra ra' ramble ends, as the fellas fine tooth comb their way through week 1 of the November Internationals giving you personalised previews of all the hot tips and count flips when it comes to deciding who is better between the North and South. However, we spend a little more time on how Joe's ‘Gladiators of Gold' are shaping up to dismantle the motherland and priming themselves to sufficiently ‘Schmidt' on England's parade. Plus, thanks to our beautiful friends at MYER for keeping this show on its toes, we slide out another silky yet sensual ‘Match Fit' that promises to hit you in all the right places. Furthermore, with the mercury rising and the ocean glittering our hankering for a grilling session is coming to the surface, so thanks to BeefEater and Appliances Online the time for a BBQ is now. So sit back, plug in your iPod shuffle, flip a couple of snags and bask in the glow of KOKO, as we prepare the nation to watch our mighty Wallabies turn Twickenham into a temple of torture, whilst joyfully downing our foes that wear that silly rose.

The lads continue their Rugby Championship analyses with special guest Samisoni Taukei'aho this week. Samisoni dives into the Springboks match, discussing his scuffle with Kwagga Smith, facing Malcolm Marx and learning from Dane Coles. The lads also preview game one of the Bledisloe Cup with the help of Will Genia, diving into what to expect from Eddie Jones and the Wallabies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Former Wallabies scrumhalf and The Roar rugby columnist Will Genia joined Brett McKay and Harry Jones to pull apart the Wallabies win over Scotland and gaze ahead to France this weekend, dig into scrumhalf passing and what comes naturally to Tate McDermott and Nic White, as well as working out whose biceps are red card-worthy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wallabies rugby legend Will Genia gave us his take on the controversial end to Australia vs New Zealand in The Rugby Championship last Thursday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Former Wallabies scrumhalf and The Roar columnist Will Genia joined The Roar rugby experts Brett McKay and Harry Jones to work out how the Wallabies deal with the twin mental battles of Raynal-gate and winning at Eden Park, on why this Rugby Championship has been the best since Argentina's admission, and on the major benefits of Australia A playing more games in Japan this October. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Former Wallabies and Queensland Reds scrumhalf Will Genia joined The Roar rugby experts Brett McKay and Harry Jones to talk obscure former teams and teammates, his experience playing in Japan and the new League One competition, being a lover but not a fighter of his great mate Quade Cooper, and a proper in-depth discussion on a Wallabies team to face England in July.

Despite the theoretically simple nature of the No9 position, the evolution of attacking shape requires its half-backs to have an encyclopedic knowledge of how to maintain structure, play at the right tempo and move forward. Ben Youngs arrived before Aaron Smith but has outstayed the retirement of Will Genia. While he doesn't quite gain the plaudits of these two as the best scrum-half on the planet, he's consistently in the conversation for the top four or five.

Will Genia played for the Wallabies (2009-2019) in 110 tests, Queensland Reds (2007-2015), Melbourne Rebels (2018-2019), Stade Francais (2015-2017) and currently Kintetsu Liners in Japan. We talk about his upbringing in Papua New Guinea, moving away from his family at the age of 12 from PNG to Australia to attend boarding school in Brisbane, the challenges in his life and how he overcame them, the key difference between players who play test level vs super rugby, what helped him to make it to the top level and stay there for so long and much much more. I’ve listened to this episode several times because I enjoyed the lessons that Will shared. Will's Instagram: @willgenia About David Mead David Mead has played professional rugby league for 13 years.
