• Pierre Schoeman Packs in Tight with KOKO as we Dive Into a Wonderful Week of Footy

  This week on The KOKO Show we get our Swoopy back from his impromptu golfing trips to make the group whole again as we break down a wonderful week that was in the world of rugby. The lads came together to run a fine tooth comb through the Super Rugby W Final that saw the Tahs tackle the Reds at North Sydney Oval, to make it back to back chips in 2024 and 25. Plus, we go large on round 9 of the Superb Rugby Pacific, highlighting the Brumbies big win over the Reds, the Tahs toppling the challenging Chiefs and the Crusaders taking their rightful place back on top of the Super ladder. Moreover, the boys go full business mode as they tackle all the hard hitting topics in a saucy smattering of Other Rugby News. However, the highlight of Episode 17 has to be our very special guest, all the way from the fortified walls of Edinburgh Castle with his new Whiskey in hand and donning a gorgeously snug pair of togs, it is Scotland’s South African chunky chappy Mr Pierre Schoeman. We discuss everything from the state of rugby north of the wall, what it was like growing up in South Africa and now proudly playing for Scotland and finally his delicious little side business he shares with teammate and friend Duhan van der Merwe. So sit back, relax and hook up your IV drip full of Hirundine Whiskey and just let those mellow smokey notes of four flogs trying to make a rugby pod fill your gills with glee. Because it is time for episode 17 of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

• Tom Hooper Turns KOKO Country and the Boys Wrestle with a ‘What’s Drewing?’

  This week on The KOKO Show the boys are dealing with some post Hong Kong hardships and Swoop forgot to tell us that he was off to NZ to play golf. However, the remaining members of our merry band go in deep and dark to tackle the world of footy as we look at the Superb Rugby, Superb W, the Singapore Sevens and Drew has a bone to pick with the European Champions Cup in a brand new ‘What's Drewing?’. Plus, we are joined by one of Australia's best young backrowers, a man that is making the Brumbies buck in 2025 with his ample sized Bathurst born body, please enjoy our time with Mr Tom Hooper. With Tommy in toe we discuss everything from his fine form in the Superb Rugby, his aspirations of playing in the Lions Series and all the way through to his impending exodus to Exeter. Lastly, we jot down a few more of our lucky ‘Lock in Lions’ and as the list is getting more full by the day there might have to be a small KOKO cull in the coming weeks, before the lads release their finalized squad officially. So throw down a six-pack of dim sum to lift the energy levels and shake your hips like you are the only person having a go in Wan Chi, it is time for a heart stopping body popping episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake 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].

• KOKO Delivers Another Hong Kong Sevens Spectacular with Habana, Quirk, Big Jim and Andy Goode

  As advertised, the KOKO Crew took on the Hong Kong Sevens for the second year in a row and some people doubted our commitment to the cause, but let the record show we came, we saw and we most certainly survived. Thanks to the Discover Hong Kong (Hong Kong Tourism Board), Cathay Pacific and Ovolo Hotels for giving the show another phenomenal experience of lifetime. This tour will most certainly go down in the KOKO history books as a rip roaring success, we went to the Hong Kong Football Club for a night of laughs with Jim Hamilton and Andy Goode, had a day of childish laughs on the rides at Ocean Park Hong Kong, enjoyed some delicious food With Virginia Chan, took in sights and sounds of the Pottinger Street Market and we soaked up all the seriously spicy rugby action from the 10s and the 7s across the week.With the Hong Kong Sevens entering a new era at the sleek, sparkling and simply sensational Kai Tak Sports Park the balance between nostalgia and reinvention was perfectly on point. Due to the allure of the all new Hong Kong Sevens, throughout the weekend, the boys were joined by an array of rugby royalty including Bryan Habana, Alicia Quirk, Jamie Roberts and the aforementioned ‘Big Jim and Goodey’. Plus, we were allowed into the bowels of Kai Tak Stadium to see how the teams prepare in their brand new digs and we cap off the episode with a dash of debauchery, in our newest instalment of the ‘KOKO Carnage’. This show is the perfect blend of naughty and nice, showcasing the eternal struggle of which side will come out on top. However, ladies and gentlemen the answer is simple, KOKO always finishes on top. For another year the beauty and vibrancy of Hong Kong is regrettably now in the rear vision mirror, but as we build through 2025 and navigate the British and Irish Lions as well as all the other international fixtures around the world, this little pod will always have one eye on the ‘Pearl of the Orient’.So sit back, relax, deactivate the secret Airtags you had on your loved ones who attended the Sevens (in our case Holiday Swoop) and simply revel in the beauty that is KOKO on tour. We present Kick Offs and Kick Ons the Hong Kong Experience.TIMECODES:00:00 - Start of the show 01:09 - Recap of the week in Hong Kong03:02 - Interview with Jim Hamilton and Andy Goode 26:13 - Talking about the Hong Kong 10’s and celebrity touch football 27:56 - Drew’s birthday celebrations 29:10 - Hong Kong Ocean Park 31:00 - KOKO’s basketball session32:04 - HSBC touch footy day 33:57 - Alicia Quirk Interview 37:20 - KOKO in the South Stand 38:30 - Hong Kong Sevens Predictions and the tournament in general 41:32 - Super Rugby Round Up Segment 48:43 - Les Kiss and the unfilled Wallabies coaching job 51:05 - Super W Scores 53:06 - Bryan Habana Interview 01:07:02 - The Lions Coaching Staff 01:08:30 - Tour awards 01:09:20 - Thanks to Discover Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific, Ovolo Hotels and Virginia Chan01:11:28 - KOKO website and socials Hosted on Acast.

  This week on The KOKO Show the guys are gearing up for another round of slaying the dragon in Hong Kong. They are fired up to rock the Hong Kong Sevens to its core, having said that blind Freddy could see the air of apprehension and fear pouring off the fellas. There will be stories told, lessons learnt and fun to be had, the lads will be galvanised once again on the road to podcasting superstardom. Plus, the boys sink their teeth into round 6 of the Superb Rugby giving you all their glitzy and glamorous ‘Top Takeaways’ from the week that was in the world of ‘ra ra’.With all four Aussie teams sitting pretty in the top six of the Super Rugby ladder spirits are high and the egos are sufficiently inflated across the panel. Moreover, the lads spend some time thanking the beautiful people of Forbes for their love and support at the Forbes Rugby Presidents Lunch, where KOKO really cranked up the energy in support for country sport and grassroots footy. Finally, the lads select some more sorry sods in their Locked In Lions to take on the Wallabies in July and August.So crack open your fortune cookie, read the message and take a sip of your tea, as our little show goes one on one with Hong Kong and will most likely come out second best.

• Tom Wright Carves Up KOKO and the French are Crowned Champions of Europe

  This week on The KOKO Show we are taking it back to the old school and dishing up only one succulent rugby meal for week 7 of the show. You guys have begged and bartered for us to take it back to the old form and we have listened. But fear not our ‘Ra Ra’ infected rugrats we have not deprived you of any awesome footy flavoured goodness. In this week's show the lads drape themselves in blue and start a second revolution to celebrate the very French finish to this year's Six Nations title, illuminating where 'Les Bleus' got it right and how the rest of the pack just fell short. Plus, our beautiful battlers are joined by a very special guest this week, he was one of the Wallabies most impactful players in 2024 and this year for the Brumbies he is stealing the show. Please welcome the rugby union renegade who is waxed from top to toe and lasered everywhere in between, he is the hairless boy wonder and friend of the show Mr Tom Wright. The lads get down and dirty with Tom Wright, talking about the Brumbies in 2025, his personal growth at the international level and why his very own brother dropped him in Fantasy Super Rugby. Finally, the KOKO Crew give you their ‘ Top 5 Takeaways’ from week five of the Superb Rugby competition, as well as honouring a brand new batch of ‘Locked In Lions’. So book in for your fortnightly mani/pedi, throw some cucumber over the windows to your soul and just let the decadent tones of four grown men talking absolute garbage cleanse your being.
