This week on the KOKO Show we are serving up a ‘no guest nonsense' episode on the King’s Birthday Long Weekend, and boy do we give this one the royal treatment. With Swoop stuck in Lithgow and Goit cosy in Canberra, the lads bring to the fore more bloody rugby than you can poke your little stick at. As all the Aussie Super Rugby sides have now bailed out of the competition the boys give you an in-depth rundown of all the Qualifying Finals results, we pick our semi-final winners and we hand down a little report card for each of the Aussie sides in 2026. Plus, we get stuck into a plethora of other rugby news from around the globe, we do a score check from the global footy park and we also pick our ‘Way Too Early Wallabies’ starting XV. Finally, to lift the spirits amidst the Aussie Super Rugby demise the boys partake in a little regal festivity, as they play the infamous King’s Birthday Quiz. So sit back, relax, spark up a durrie and put on some Shane Warne highlights (the real king), it is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by our favourite Trans-Tasman talisman, a bloke that brings the vibes to Kiwi Rugby and used to go by the nickname Sops but now for obvious reasons now goes by Slops. It is the one and only Mr Lima Sopoaga. With Lima riding pillion on this hot throbbing hog of a podcast, the boys get stuck into the Super Rugby Playoff picture, they reminisce about the Highlanders win in 2015 and they talk about how the kiwis can find the motivation to win in absolutely anything. Plus, the lads have a little fun with a game we like to call ‘A Schooner Of…’ where they have to name a beverage that best suits a certain rugby union superstar.

Despite the fact that Swoop’s Temu Cupboard is still shut for a few more weeks the content mastermind was hard at work with a new segment called ‘The Great Pie Off’. In this segment the boys taste test three pies from Aus and NZ to crown the ultimate thick crust king. So sit back, relax and insert your electronic chess cheating device of choice. This show is about to blow Magnus Carlsen out of the bloody water. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we have landed one of the ‘Big Dawgs’ of World Rugby. We are talking the inside centre to end all inside centres, despite only being the 5th best footy player in his family. That’s right, the KOKO Crew are joined by the all conquering, the all powerful and the always wear sunblock Mr Jordie Barrett. With Jordie in tow the lads get stuck into the Hurricanes’ dream season finishing top of the table, the push into the finals, the ethos of the team and who they wanna play at the pointy end, however, it isn’t code mode with Jordie on the line. We also delve into some funny moments Jordie has had off the pitch in a little segment we like to call ‘Please Explain’, whilst also once and for all settling the AUS v NZ pie debate.

Plus, for all our naughty Northern know-it-alls Swoop gets up on his Bordeaux soap box and really goes off about UBB’s back to back efforts in the European Champions Cup, much to Jordie’s dismay. Finally, we have noticed Drew feeling a little left out on the show so we remedy that with a full segment and a little quiz all about the big and beautiful Biv. So sit back, relax and get stuck into a crispy crusted meaty, whilst washing it down with a brand new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
