New Zealand Rugby have secured a new sponsor. They've partnered with American company Gallagher Insurance, who's logo will appear on both the training and match day shorts of all our national teams. It comes two months after Ineos terminated their $21 million a year contract with the union. NZR CEO Mark Robinson told Mike Hosking Gallagher's got a deep connection with the sport, having been involved with World Rugby and the English Premiership, as well as already being involved in NZ rugby at the provincial level. He says they're connected to the values and ethos of the game, and they obviously feel that there's a strong opportunity for branding, as well as business opportunities.

The lads have a look at the last round of the Superb Rugby, whilst also previewing the upcoming Qualifying Finals, they chat about the finals footy landscape taking shape in Europe and finally who was crowned champion of the Japanese top league. In conclusion, we finish the show with another round of tough selections at the ‘Lion Tamer' table, adding a plethora of great men to a squad who will confidently man handle those fragile feline phonies. So sit back and let the dulcet tones of Joe Schmidt, the calmest man in World Rugby wash over and cleanse your soul.

On this weeks episode we are joined by Samantha Lovett (@samloverugby) who is a a freelance digital content creator specializing in enhancing the global appeal of rugby through engaging and innovative content. She has worked with World Rugby, Guinness Six Nations, LA Sevens, etc and she is taking her talents to the Women's Rugby World Cup. We pick her brain about content creation with rugby, everything thats going on in the 7's world and hope to make the game more appealing to the traditional US sports fan.

This week on The KOKO Show we have landed the biggest name in World Rugby. She has represented the USA at over 30 international Sevens Tournaments, won an Olympic medal and now she is doing her thing in the 15's game in preparation for this year's Rugby World Cup. Although her feats on the footy field are something to marvel at, it is her work off it that has further elevated her profile into superstardom. She is an authentic pioneer for women's sport the world over, a total badass in the body positivity space and a media mogul in every sense of the title. It is of course the one and only Ilona Maher. The KOKO Crew with Ilona in tow discussed in depth what it was like growing up in Vermont, having success at the Olympic Games, sharing her messages of female empowerment and what is next for Ilona Maher after the 2025 Rugby World Cup. A chat that not only delves into the wins she has had on the rugby pitch, but an in depth look into the hard work and perseverance of a person that has taken the rugby world by storm and made it better. Plus, the lads give you a full set of takeaways from round 14 of the Superb Rugby and the Wallaroos' big win over the USA in Canberra. Moreover, we have a little gander at all the big talking points from the global rugby landscape in ‘Other Rugby News', before locking in four more ‘Lion Tamers' in our Aussie squad to take down those British and Irish bad boys. So, sit back and relax as we take a moment to marvel in the majesty of Ilona Maher, a person that has changed our game for good and will continue to put the Bae in Rug-Bae.

If you are at all interested in understanding what's going wrong at rugby headquarters in Wellington, can I recommend that you read Gregor Paul's piece in the Herald today? It's an excellent summation. The question that we had yesterday when we were looking at the financials was how on Earth is it that New Zealand Rugby pulls in more money than it ever has in a financial year and still manages to not make a profit? How do you do that? The answer is it seems going by Gregor's piece, it's just wasteful spending and spending in the wrong places. For example, New Zealand rugby spent more than seven and a half million dollars last year on paying board members and executives. That is more than the seven million it spent on Heartland rugby teams last year and it is more than five and a half million it spent on its five Super Rugby clubs. No organisation should spend more on the people running the thing then on the thing itself, that's nuts. New Zealand Rugby flew two board members, Dame Patsy Reddy and Bailey Mackey, to the UK last year when they were leaving the organisation the following month. What's the point of that? If you know that people are leaving, stop flying them places. They're now redundant, aren't they? When the All Blacks played in Tokyo, they took players and coaches and management. Fair enough. But then they also took administrative staff and executive staff. That was 75 people for a rugby game. Honestly, that's way too much. Do you know how much they were paying at the hotel they were staying at? $900 a night. That is an organisation spending like it's in the gold mining game, not like it's an organisation making more annual losses than profits in recent memory. Gregor Paul suggests some people are going to lose their jobs and I think that's probably fair. To be fair to NZR, we all understand what's going on here and not all of it is their fault. The biggest problem they've got is that rugby is boring. That's because the rules suck and NZR has only got so much control over the rules. It's really a World Rugby problem. But for NZR, it has been obvious for ages that the problems that they face with participation and viewership, attendance, and money are not going to get solved anytime soon. Now, if you know things are tough and they're not improving, do you not put the credit card away? Do you not cut the spending? You and I might, but not NZR, apparently, and that's their fault.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads were plagued with a serious case of Les Kiss fever, but they didn't seem to be that phased by this particular ailment, as they delivered a wall to wall recap of the week that was in World Rugby. Firstly, the boys addressed the new appointment of Les Kiss as the next Wallabies coach, a decision that buoyed the boys and got them all a little hot under the saddle blanket for the future of Australian Rugby. To help the fellas through the ups and downs of Les Kiss fever, we enlisted a very special guest to add some much needed star power to our very pedestrian weekly production. That is right, this week we are joined by the Frankston firecracker, Melbourne's man of marble and now Glasgow's benevolent bulldozer. So, please welcome Scotland's captain and Australia's one that got away, Mr Sione Tuipulotu. Sione and the lads chewed the fat about all things footy, from what it was like leaving Australia for Scotland, his recovery from a peck injury and what it would feel like to be given the honour to play for the British and Irish Lions. Finally, the crew give you their tangy yet tasteful takeaways from the week of rugby, touching on week 12 of the Superb season, the Wallaroos' big win over Fiji and all the action from the European Champions Cup Semi-Finals. Lastly, to put a big fat bow on what has been a constant segment for the show all year, the lads finally cement their lucky 37 as we finalise our squad of Locked In Lions. So knock back a couple of downers, put on your compression socks and talk shit to your flight attendant, this metal bird is taking to the skies and boy it is going to be a bumpy fucking ride. It is time for an all new Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES: 00:00 - Start of the show 01:23 - The boys talk about Les Kiss getting the Wallabies job 07:31 - The boys talking about their first kisses 11:35 - Prof's poem 12:58 - Introduce Sione Tuipulotu15:13 - Sione talks about his injury recovery 19:06 - Sione talks about his return to rugby 20:51 - Sione wants to fold Rob Leota on the Lions Tour 21:38 - Sione talks about playing rugby in Melbourne as a kid22:53 - Sione's decision to move to Scotland 29:28 - Sione's take on how many Scots will be in the Lions squad 31:38 - Sione's culture shock moving to Scotland 33:54 - Sione talks about potentially playing for the Lions as an Australian 37:43 - who is the lippiest of the Wallabies 38:43 - Bench, start and drop 40:37 - Locked in Lions final selections 50:27 - The KOKO takeaways from the week of footy: KB's return for the Force 53:13 - DRUA V REDS REVIEW 54:37 - BRUMBIES V WARATAHS REVIEW 58:40 - Ardies Savea and his current form 01:00:03 - WALLAROOS V FIJIANA REVIEW 01:01:33 - European Champions Cup Scores 01:06:49 - DEAR DREW: Swoop's Eulogy 01:15:43 - Close of the show BUY 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.

In this Spotlight episode, Ross and Gareth tackle a provocative question: should sports embrace fatigue to make the show better? We kick off with rugby union, where fresh legs off the bench and player welfare are fuelling debates about injury risks. But things quickly get philosophical. Some sports are basically designed to test how much fatigue you can take. Others are compromised when fatigue creeps in — skills drop, mistakes rise — yet fatigue also cranks up the drama and emotion. So, which sports thrive when athletes are running on empty, and which ones fall apart? And what would happen if you dialed up fatigue across the board — would it wreck the sport or make it even better?We also take a quick spin through the opening Grand Slam Track meeting in Jamaica, and peek ahead to the LA Olympics, where a bunch of new sports and events just got announced. Plus, concussion protocols and management are in the spotlight: a study from Scotland provides the first results on the lowering of tackle height in the community game; cyclist Elisa Longo-Borghini was pulled mid-race at Flanders; and Aussie cricketer Will Pucovski retired after his 13th concussion. Finally, we throw out a few predictions for Paris-Roubaix this Sunday. Got thoughts on these topics?

Player welfare, and what that entails in the incredibly broad landscape that is now professional rugby, was the key topic when former Hurricanes and All Blacks great turned players advocate Conrad Smith joined Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast this week.

In this episode of A LOAD OF BS ON SPORT, we're joined by Brett Gosper, a true sports industry heavyweight who has seamlessly navigated the worlds of elite rugby, global advertising, and now the NFL's international expansion.From Rugby Player to Sports Executive ExtraordinaireBrett's remarkable journey began as an Australian rugby player who, after missing out on a Wallabies trial, took a chance on playing in France. This "closing doors moment" led to a dual career – professional rugby by night and advertising executive by day. After 30 years in the advertising world, Brett made a surprising pivot back to sports, becoming CEO of World Rugby before taking on his current role as Head of NFL Europe and Asia Pacific.Navigating Complex Sports OrganisationsBrett offers fascinating insights into the contrasting challenges of leading World Rugby versus the NFL. While World Rugby required him to navigate the complex politics of a global federation with competing interests, the NFL presents a more unified but equally ambitious organisation. He reveals how his advertising background provided valuable perspective when approaching sports leadership, particularly in creating fan-centric strategies.The Global Expansion PlaybookAs the architect of the NFL's international growth strategy, Brett shares the meticulous planning behind bringing American football to new territories. From staging international games that feel like "mini Super Bowls" to developing academies in the UK and Australia, he outlines the NFL's comprehensive approach to finding the next 50 million fans outside the United States. He explains why cultural relevance is crucial when expanding into new markets, whilst still maintaining the authentic Americana experience that international fans crave.Developing International TalentThe conversation explores the fascinating International Player Pathway programme, which has produced success stories like Jordan Mailata, the Australian former rugby league player who became the first Australian to win a Super Bowl. Brett discusses the psychological challenges these athletes face transitioning to American football and how the NFL Academy system is creating pathways for international talent to reach the highest levels of the sport.Leadership Lessons from a Global Sports ExecutiveThis episode isn't just for sports fans – it's a masterclass in leadership across different organisational cultures. Brett's journey demonstrates the value of being adaptable, maintaining product quality while pursuing commercial growth, and always keeping the fan perspective at the centre of decision-making.Key Discussion Points:Career Crossroads: How missing a Wallabies trial led Brett to a transformative career in FranceFrom Advertising to Sports Leadership: The unexpected transition that brought Brett back to the sporting worldBalancing Culture and Commerciality: Maintaining the integrity of sports while pursuing global growthThe NFL's International Strategy: Creating fan engagement through games, academies, and flag footballLeadership Principles: The importance of listening to fans and athletes when making strategic decisionsCultural Differences: How rugby and NFL teams approach competition and player development Hosted on Acast.

A groundbreaking research project funded by Lero, the Research Ireland Centre for Software, and the IRFU is deploying artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse the tackle event in rugby to enhance player welfare and performance, resulting in a more exciting and dynamic game. The project team, led by Professor Anthony Ventresque, Director of the Complex Software Lab at the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin, has the potential to provide coaches, players and referees with incredible insights into tackle technique, identify areas for improvement, and ultimately reduce the risk of injury. "Our research is focused on developing AI that can understand the complexities of rugby tackles. By analysing large amounts of video data, we can identify patterns and trends that may not be apparent to the human eye. This information can be used to develop targeted training programs to improve tackle technique and player safety." PhD researchers Will Connors and Caoilfhionn Ní Dheoráin, are teaming up with Dr Kathryn Dane to harness the power of AI in the world of rugby. This collaborative research project aims to develop AI models capable of automatically identifying and analysing the tackle event, with the potential of improving training techniques. Will Connors, who has represented Ireland at senior, U20, and sevens levels, said that as a rugby player with a Computer Science background, he is fascinated by AI's potential to analyse and optimise tackle technique. "I believe this research can help players at all levels improve their tackling skills and contribute to a more exciting and dynamic game." Dr Kathryn Dane, who has also represented Ireland at senior international level, said this project highlights the crucial link between technique and safety in rugby at all levels of the game. "By using AI to analyse a large number of tackles, we can identify specific areas where technique can be improved to enhance both performance and player welfare." Computer Scientist Caoilfhionn Ní Dheoráin said she is excited by the challenge of applying Machine Learning at scale to analyse rugby tackles in the domestic club and school game. "This project offers a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of AI and contribute to a deeper understanding of this complex and dynamic sport." The IRFU's Medical Manager, Dr Caithríona Yeomans, who holds a PhD in Sports Sciences, said this research will be hugely helpful to enhancing player welfare in rugby "By understanding the mechanics of tackles and identifying areas for improvement, we can help players develop safer and more effective techniques. The collaboration with Lero and the Complex Software Lab at Trinity College Dublin is invaluable in our ongoing efforts to make rugby a safer sport for all." This collaboration stems from the IRFU's decision to lower the tackle height in the domestic game. The insights gained from the video analysis will help identify the trial's impact on player welfare and the overall game. The IRFU's National Rugby Development Manager and Tackle Trial project lead, Colm Finnegan, says: "We are excited to work with Lero to be at the forefront of innovation in such an important area of Rugby, which reaffirms our aim of making the sport as safe as possible whilst also being an enjoyable game for all." One of the project's recent publications, 'Frisbees and Dogs: Domain Adaptation For Object Detection with Limited Labels in Rugby Data', explores how AI can be trained to accurately detect essential elements in rugby videos, even with limited training data. This is a significant breakthrough in this area. Another recent publication, 'Are we tackle ready? Cross-sectional video analysis of match tackle characteristics in elite women's Rugby Union' examines tackle techniques in the women's game. This study found that many tackles lacked full completion of World Rugby's 'Tackle Ready' recommended techniques, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to r...
