The KOKO Show is Back and Six Nations Rugby is on the Menu!
Finally, Kick Offs and Kick Ons is back on the airwaves in 2025 and in the first episode of season two the lads do not disappoint in bringing the heat. After an off-season full of self reflection, realignment and rejuvenation the KOKO Crew are returning with a pep in their step, a new outlook on life and absolutely no sponsors to speak of. In 2025 we are bringing you double the debauchery each week with two separate episodes to ensure our fans get a complete feast of footy week in and week out. In episode one of season 2 we cut straight to the bone of all the Six Nations news after one week of the tournament, breaking down how the Irish outmuscled the English, the Scots dismantled the Italians and the French whacked the woeful Welsh. Plus, the boys give you their ‘Bold Predictions’ for 2025, illuminating their authentic thoughts and feelings in the world of rugby, as well as gambling on real life milestones. So sit back raise your hands to the skies and shout “fuck yes KOKO is back”, as we bring you the world of rugby like you have never heard it before, whilst giving you a chaser of inane banter to help it go down smoothly. It is time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons 2.0.

The KOKO Show’s Christmas Bonanza all the way from awesome Orange
This week on The KOKO Show we come to your eyes and ears by way of the Central Tablelands in NSW as the fellas finish off our inaugural season of KOKO in Orange. Despite the boys being of weary body and mind, they bound their Northern Hemisphere inflicted wounds, popped a couple Nurofen plus and got back on this bucking bronco of a show to finish the year off in grassroots style. When we started this show, all we wanted to do is help the average Aussie footy fan fall back in love with rugby again, whilst giving back to the OG footy fans in our rural and regional communities. Oh Boy! Let us bloody tell you rugby union is alive and well if northwest NSW is anything to go by and we can’t thank The Saltbush Hotel, Orange and the surrounding areas enough for their support of the show in our final episode of season one.In this week’s episode we put a pretty little Chrissy bow on what was a whirlwind debut season for Kick Offs and Kick Ons, discussing the year that was 2024 in both the contexts of our show as well as the World Rugby landscape as a whole. The lads breakdown their highs and lows of the year, who and what caught their eye on the field and what 2025 has in store for all of us. We would like to give a big thank you to our headline sponsor MYER for all of their support this year and allowing us to create a show that accurately conveys the light and shade of Australian Rugby. Plus, we would also like to show some love to all of our sponsors throughout 2024 for being vital cogs in the wheel of success that was KOKO 1.0. In a year that has seen us laugh, cry, sit on milk crates and then travel to all corners of the globe, it is you our fans that deserve the final thanks. Without your support week in and week out, we wouldn't be able to put this poor excuse of a podcast together and for that we are eternally grateful. So, for the final time in 2024 lather yourself in baby oil, put on your comfiest lounging around g-banger and let the buttery tones of KOKO take you on a journey. It is time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMECODES 00:00 - Start of the show 01:36 - Introducing the show03:51 - Introducing the boys07:05 - Thanks to the Saltbush Hotel for having us10:56 - Highlights and lowlights of the year17:41 - Favourite guest 21:20 - Budgy Smuggler23:40 - THE WALLABIES YEAR AND AWARDS29:16 - Joe Schmidt’s future in Australian Rugby 33:39 - Wallabies five year plan 37:03 - The Lions tour39:12 - SIX NATIONS PREVIEW42:25 - THE ALL BLACKS’ YEAR IN 202446:23 - THE SPRINGBOKS’ YEAR IN 202448:52 - ARGENTINA’S YEAR IN 2024 54:44 - Match Fit brought to you by MYER 01:03:01 - Drew thanks the fans of the show 01:04:17 - What does KOKO look like in 2025?01:07:53 - Close of the show and season 1 of KOKOBig thanks to MYER for their support and remember you can buy everything you saw on the show from you local MYER or online - https://www.myer.com.auCheers also to BeefEater for coming back on board with KOKO, please check out their websites to see their great selection of BBQ's, rangehoods and fridges.AUSTRALIA - https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/beefeaterEUROPE - https://beefeaterbbqeurope.co.uk/pages/contact-usA massive thanks to our new beer sponsor, Easy Times Brewing Co.

Bryan Habana and Michael Hooper join KOKO on set direct from the Emirates Dubai Sevens.
This week on The KOKO Show the lads leave their luggage-less European odyssey behind to take on the delicious yet dangerous deserts of Dubai. As we all know December signals the end of the International Test season down under, with the resurgent Wallabies going down in a tight tussle against the intoxicating Irish in Dublin. With that being said the KOKO Crew breaks down all the ins and outs of that encounter and how Aussie fans should be buoyed by what we saw in Joe Schmidt’s heartbreaking homecoming. However, as we close the book on 2024’s Test Match madness, the lads open up the sensational sevens scrapbook as we look at all the action from the Emirates Dubai Sevens. We trade in the slush and sleet of soggy Europe for the sun and sand of the UAE, to bring you a cracking show from the comfort of the Emirates Dubai Sevens Sunroom, as we celebrate the Aussie women and the Fiji men for claiming their respective titles over the weekend. Plus, the gang are joined by two of the all time greats who are now part of the HSBC red polo stable raking in that global dollar, so please get ready to enjoy the stories and world class banter from Bryan Habana and Michael Hooper.To cap off a cracking episode we express our love and support for all the people and entities involved in putting together this KOKO Tour and of course we show our appreciation for the beautiful people at MYER with an all time mixed bag Match Fit all they from the Dubai desert. As we near the end of our inaugural season as The KOKO Show we encourage you not to worry and be happy because we promise to be back bigger and better next year.
