• Sekope Kepu Packs in Tight with KOKO as the Lions Arrive in Perth

  This week on The KOKO Show the sirens have sounded and from all reports the enemy is well and truly at the gates. That is right the British and Irish Lions have arrived on our shores after getting their pantaloons and long socks ripped up by the pouncing ‘Win Pumas’ in Dublin. Thanks to our new headline sponsor Guinness, we are bringing people together through the love of sport, as we debut our brand new segment ‘The Perfect Pour’. Plus, thanks to our dear friends at MJ Bale the KOKO lads are looking on point, as we show those Northern nobody's that us Aussies can scrub up just fine, because if you look good, you feel good and then you can pod good. Plus, Ladies and Gentlemen as we nestle up nice and close on the eve of the Lions Series, we decided to roll in one of Australia’s big guns as this week's very special guest. This fella was side by side with our very own Swoop as the Wallabies went nose to tail with the Lions in 2013, he has played over 100 tests for the Wallabies and people would pay good money to crouch, touch, pause and engage with this beautiful big rig. It is of course the large engine that will and has, Mr Sekope Kepu. With Keps in tow the lads fine tooth comb the upcoming series, they gauge his excitement about coaching against the Lions and we get a myriad of A-grade stories that paint our guys in some interesting lights.Finally, the KOKO Crew breaks down the Super Rugby Final, which saw the mighty Crusaders rise to the top of Southern Hemisphere rugby once again to claim their thirteenth title over the table topping Chiefs. In addition to that, we dissect the Wallabies squad that has been announced to take on Fiji in July, as we talk ins, outs and everything in between. So sit back, relax and deadbolt your doors, the Lions and their fanatics have arrived on our shores. It is time for another episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show03:52 - Shout out to Guinness our Major Sponsor04:24 - KOKO Learnings10:39 - MJ Bale shout out for dressing the boys13:55 - The Perfect Pour brought to you by Guinness23:02 - The Guinness Live Shows plug25:02 - Introduce Sekope Kepu27:39 - Sekope on playing against the Lions28:50 - Sekope on coaching against the Lions in 202534:54 - Sekope on playing for Moana Pasifika36:54 - Bench, start and Drop41:20 - Sekope’s Lions Series Prediction49:44 - TAB Reds v Lions Watch Along Promo53:27 - CRUSADERS V CHIEFS REVIEW57:50 - KOKO’s Super Rugby Awards01:02:36 - The boys talk about the Wallabies Squad01:06:46 - Live Show plugs01:07:00 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comLIVE SHOWS:Brisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Felons Barrel Hallhttps://www.sevenrooms.com/x1pJ8HnMBrisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Wests Bulldogshttps://www.trybooking.com/DCHAWMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

• The Oracle Wayne Smith joins KOKO and We Can Smell The Lions Coming

  This week on The KOKO Show the lads serve up a big old bowl of rugby flavoured frosted flakes, regaling tales of the tape from the South to the North and everywhere in between. To help us on this journey as the enemy creeps ever closer to our shores, we are pleased to unveil our new major sponsor for The Lions Tour, it is the one and only, delightfully delicious and surprisingly refreshing Guinness. With Guinness being the unofficial beer of rugby fans around the world, it is fitting they have partnered with us, as we are unanimously the unofficial podcast of rugby fans in all the galaxies. Moreover, the mighty KOKO Show has not only landed a blue-chip sponsor, but this week we are joined by a blue-chip guest. Swoop has once again put the rubber on the road and lured in one of rugby’s dead set supernaturals. This fella has played 17 tests for the All Blacks as a player, but he truly found his calling in the coaching ranks, winning 3 World Cups and 4 Super Rugby titles; we think it is fair to say this bloke knows his x’s and o’s. It is of course the Oracle of New Zealand rugby and the ‘real’ Professor of everything awesome, Sir Wayne Smith. With Wayne in tow the lads dove deep into the world of coaching, touching on what makes great coaches tick, how coaches can get the best out of their cattle and who he thinks will win the Lions Series based on style and structure. Plus, we wrap up the Superb Rugby semi-finals, the lads gander at the URC and Premiership Grand Finals and finally we look at the British and Irish Lions Series Winner odds powered by our dear friends at TAB. The lads then round out the show by locking in some more hungry ‘Lion Tamers’ and running through our laundry list of Live Shows that are happening in each and every city. So sit back, relax and pour yourself a fresh juicy Guinness, this one will most certainly hit different. It is time now for the newest episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show06:30 - Announcement that Guinness is our Major Sponsor for The Lions Tour08:52 - Welcome Wayne Smith to the show 12:40 - What is Wayne doing now?13:18 - Wayne on coaching Swoop in Japan 18:07 - Wayne predicts the Super Rugby winner 21:32 - Wayne on how the Wallabies should play 26:21 - Wayne is a student of the game 34:05 - Wayne talks about the Lions Series 36:19 - Bench, Start and Drop 40:20 - Wayne’s Lions Series Prediction 42:34 - How was everyone's weekend?50:13 - KOKO Live Show at Felons Barrel Hall in Brisbane51:49 - Rugby Round Up Segment 51:58 - CRUSADERS V BLUES REVIEW53:40 - CHIEFS V BRUMBIES REVIEW 58:54 - LEINSTER V BULL REVIEW 01:01:59 - BATH V LEICESTER REVIEW 01:07:29 - TOP 14 SEMI FINAL PREVIEWS 01:08:22 - TAB Sponsored Segment 01:10:46 - The Lion Tamers 01:14:58 - KOKO Live Show at the West Bulldogs in Brisbane01:16:00 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comLIVE SHOWS:Brisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Felons Barrel Hallhttps://www.sevenrooms.com/x1pJ8HnMBrisbane - The KOKO Show Live at Wests Bulldogshttps://www.trybooking.com/DCHAWMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

• Joe Rokocoko Comes on Board and Totally ‘Rocks-KOKO’ to its Core

  This week on The KOKO Show the band is back together to celebrate the fun, frivolity and fineries that finals footy has to offer. We tackle all the action of the Super Rugby Qualifying Finals, whilst also looking forward to the seismically sensational Semi-Finals this coming weekend. Plus, we get a little naughty up North for all the footy loving legends on the more populous side of the Equator, breaking down all the Champagne rugby from the URC and Premiership Semi-Finals. To help us on our journey towards podcasting perfection, we enlisted the help of one of the greatest finishers of all time to dot this episode over the white line and claim victory for the good guys. This Fijian born South Auckland raised wrecking ball made a career out of cashing cheques and snapping necks as he ran past you at a rate of knots, please welcome the swan-diving sensation that is Mr Joe Rokocoko. With Joe in tow the lads reflect on his sublime 98 Test Match career, the times he made all three of them look like chumps and what it actually takes to be one of the best wingers the rugby world has ever seen. To cap off this tremendous trot down the wingers walk of fame the lads finalise a few more selections in our table topping team of ‘Lion Tamers’. Moreover, they have a greasy little gander at some hot off the press ‘Other Rugby News’, all in the name of keeping you, our loyal listener well informed. So, book yourself a Swedish hot stone massage, sip on the complementary ice cold cucumber water and bluetooth your way into some KOKO bliss.
