This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by the ‘Golden Child’ of Australian Rugby, he is the man that made the frosted tip hip, a bloke that would shine with a magic jaw line, it is the one and only Mr James Rabs O’Connor. With James riding up front, the boys go deep inside the Wallabies’ dramatic loss to France at Suncorp, breaking down the issues surrounding the side and illuminating both the mental and physical shortcomings that are apparent on the field. Plus, with Active Ops providing us with up to date data we cover all the necessary stats from the weekend of International Rugby. The boys then move on to chat about James’ immediate playing future and how they believe his rugby IQ and IP would be invaluable for the Wallabies in the current climate. We also shed some light on the positives from the game with a little segment brought to you by Cape Mentelle Wineries called ‘The Uncompromising Character of the Week’, where we highlight the work of Tom Staniforth coming home to Australia but playing for France on home soil.

Finally, we close the show with another dose of ‘How Good is Sport’ brought to you by TCL and then we put Swoop back in the hot seat with a brand new look at ‘Swoop Will Sort It’. As the Wallabies’ hole gets a little deeper and Joe Schmidt’s tenure comes to an end, we call on all Australians to rally around the lads and get them over the line against the mozzarella massaging men of Italy. They need us right now! So sit back, relax and throw your frozen pizza in the oven. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show the TOP GUN boys are back together with Bernard ‘The Ice Man’ Foley flying tip to tip in an episode that can only be described as a footy fans wet dream. That is right, the Nard Dog is here to chat about his playing future hopefully at the Waratahs, pushing for a 2027 Rugby World Cup spot and discussing what he has left to offer Australian Rugby. Plus the lads get down and dirty with a full Nations Champs recap, all thanks to Active Ops - with Australia falling agonisingly short to Ireland, NZ’s close call with the French, South Africa sorting out the English and so much more. We also buoy the boys with a little segment brought to you by Cape Mentelle Wineries called ‘The Uncompromising Character of the Week’, where we unpack the guts and bravery shown by Harry Wilson and Ben Donaldson to step up and take their shot at glory.

Finally, we close the show with another dose of ‘How Good is Sport’ brought to you by TCL and then we put Swoop back in the fixer’s chair with a brand new look at ‘Swoop Will Sort It’. This week we are serving up wall to wall rugby, there is not a nook nor a cranny that isn't glazed by the game they play in heaven. So sit back, relax and pour yourself a chilled glass of Cape Mentelle wine, because you will need some uncompromising character to get through this all new ep of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we are joined from the top by High School footy phenom, Brumbies goer and close friend of the show Mr Pete ‘Perfume’ Playford. With Pete in tow we cover all the news from the world of rugby, including the parting ways of the Waratahs with head Coach Dan McKellar, David Campese joining the NRL and of course we pick our Wallabies match day 23. Plus, the boys get stuck into the business side of Rugby Australia, pulling together ideas of how we can build the game back up after the Rugby World Cup. However, in episode 20 we save the best little treat for last. That is right ladies and gentlemen this week we are joined by our favourite lovable lump all the way from Wallabies Camp, this fella has been called out of retirement to serve the nation and boy is he ready and willing to do just that. Please welcome our Wallabies work horse Mr James Styvo Slipper. With Big Jimmy riding shotgun we gain some insights into the current Wallabies Camp, the excitement surrounding the Nations Champs and what Slips really gets up to in his private hotel room. Lastly, the KOKO show is proud to bring you a brand new segment called ‘How Good Is Sport’, which is all thanks to the kind people at TCL. You better bloody believe it, TCL's new SQD Mini LED TVs combine Precise Dimming, Super QLED technology and an Ultra Colour Filter to bring every sporting moment to life. So sit back, relax and throw the KOKO Show up on your new TCL TV - It’s test week baby and we're getting hot under the saddle blanket. Please enjoy an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
