  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.

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.TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Start of the show01:45 - Tom’s grape update 04:26 - KOKO apologises to Drew 06:48 - The Drew Quiz13:15 - The Rugby Round Up - CRUSADERS V CHIEFS 16:20 - WARATAHS V BRUMBIES 22:09 - REDS V MOANA 25:66 - HURRICANES V HIGHLANDERS AND JORDIE BARRETT JOINS26:38 - Intro Jordie Barrett 28:14 - Jordie on Reuben Love’s language 28:43 - The Hurricanes form in 2026 30:53 - Jordie on possible finals matchups 31:54 - The ethos of the Hurricanes 34:54 - Cory Jane’s coaching influence 36:05 - Goit’s curly questions 37:33 - START, BENCH AND DROP38:59 - Rehashing the ‘Ditch Debate’40:55 - The Please Explain Game 45:23 - Jordie on the ANZAC Test47:09 - Jordie on Leinster losing another final 52:01 - FORCE V DRUA 58:55 - Other Rugby News 01:01:20 - Close of the show 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 info@shtn.com.au.

  This week on the KOKO Show we have landed one of the biggest names in the world of rugby. We are talking about hot bloody property! This bloke is a 6 foot 3 - 105kg piece of Temora forged titanium, a consistent threat under the high ball and a fella that is doing his best to make the 70’s pornstar chin beard a thing in 2026. That is right we are joined by the Western Force enforcer Mr Zac Lomax. With ‘Zac Attack’ in tow the lads chat about his transition from league to union, the cultural differences between the two codes and he sheds some light on the 2026 NSW State of Origin team selection. Furthermore, the boys delve deep into Zac’s acclamation process in Perth with the Force and they speak about the biggest league fan boys within the footy club. Plus, we play a little game of ‘Footy,footy or Footy’ to unpack some of the lesser known off-field controversies from the three football codes over the years. Finally, we of course chat about all the action from Round 14 of the Super Rugby, we preview all the juicy clashes in the final two weeks of the season with knockout implications and lastly we pick our Earth XV to take on the Mars XV in the inaugural intergalactic showdown.

• The KOKO Show Flies Solo Like a Pack of APEX Podcasters 12.05.2026 53min

  This week on the KOKO Show we were left to our own devices to wander this expansive podcasting landscape in search of a couple of fart gags, cheap laughs and a little bit of footy. Without a guest to be the wind beneath our little wings, the lads found another gear that they didn't know they had. The boys decided in week 13 to throw Schmidt at the wall to see what would stick and boy did we tackle all the big stuff like the benefits of hybrid rugby players, The ANZAC Test and whether Australia or NZ make the best meat pies. Plus, we dove into a deep rabbit hole to cover the full slate of games in round thirteen of the Super Rugby, as well as a little preview of the European Champions Cup between Bordeaux and Leinster coming up in a few weeks time. Moreover, the boys indulged in a little segment we call ‘The Ditch Debate’, unpacking all the great disagreements between the island nations of Australia and New Zealand. That is right, this little podcast has put to bed the once and for all the fates of such things as Brad Thorn, Phar Lap, the ANZAC biccy and the Flat White coffees. You are welcome! So sit back, relax and brew yourself a cup of joe because this episode has just popped a spicy cube and is all systems go. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

  This week on the KOKO Show your prayers have been answered! You have begged and pleaded for this man to return and KOKO has delivered. Coming in and running a juicy unders line from the outside channel is a man that goes by many names and has just as many different personalities. He has been called Snorkatron, Snorklebeanie, Captain Insano and of course the Porn Master. This Linfield legend lives off a steady diet of reminiscing about his 2003 SF intercept, making the tech world his bitch and forcing people to tell him that his lisp even as an adult is still really cute. So please put your hands together for Stirling Austin Mortlock! With Stirlo in tow the lads get down to business throwing questions at the Oracle in a segment we call ‘Snork Talk’, they chat about the current Wallabies set up and they shine a light on what actually happened when Morty called a Code Red on Swoop. Plus, we chat about round 9 of the Superb Rugby and we play a new little game called ‘Green and Goldylocks’.Finally, we reintroduce old friend NordVPN back on the show as a sponsor, as well as the lads get giddy about the news that they are heading to Super Round in Christchurch in only a couple of weeks.

• KOKO Gives the Gift of Giving with a Classy Easter ‘No Guest Nonsense’ 31.03.2026 1h

  This week on the KOKO Show we take a philanthropic approach to talking absolute garbage and sprinkling our chaos with just the right amount of rugby. Although we didn't give you a guest this week, we make up for it ten fold with a sublime wrap up of all the rugby that took place in the Pacific, including the Tahs big upset of the in form ACT Shetland Ponies and how the Canes just keep rolling. Plus, we have a little mental health check-in on all the lads, we belatedly celebrate the births of Drew and Swoop and we play a cheeky little game of Never have I ever. We are well aware this show is simply the 50 minutes attached to the segment that is sweeping the nation, so without fail we serve up a truly centered and holistic version of ‘What’s in Swoop’s Temu Cupboard’. So sit back, relax and let the inane chatter of four has-beens fill the void in your life that has been vacant for so long. Here at KOKO we want to wish you all a happy and safe Easter and may the bunny be bad for your waistlines. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.    TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Start of the show 02:18 - KOKO Health Check and Weekend wrap up09:24 - The modern day sporting parent 13:07 - The KOKO Birthday Game 19:59 - Rugby Round Up - BRUMBIES V WARATAHS 27:28 - HURRICANES V REDS 29:57 - FORCE V CHIEFS 34:03 - OTHER SUPER RUGBY SCORES 37:01 - Other Rugby News 41:33 - Never Have I Ever Game 50:09 - Swoop’s Temu Cupboard 59:00 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us info@shtn.com.au.

Lastly but certainly not the ‘leastly’, Swoop comes in real hot from a forage around his Temu Cupboard with a few items that will leave you hairless and shocked to your core.

• KOKO Goes Loco for the Record Rampaging James ‘Styvo’ Slipper 17.03.2026 58min

  This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by the man that is about to sit alone atop the mountain as the most capped Super Rugby player ever. That is right this rag tag show has once again landed a white whale and the game of rugby’s ‘Mr Right Now’, James ‘Styvo’ Slipper. This coming weekend slips moves to 203 Super Rugby games and takes out the title, so on the show he humbly talks about all the records he holds, his imminent playing future and he defends some funny stories that we got from his wife Kara. This bloke has changed the game of rugby in Australia for the better and this week on KOKO we give this big backy bastard his flowers and shower him with some much deserved adoration. Plus, we tackle all the action from the Superb Rugby and we proudly crown France the Champions of the Guinness Six Nations, after an ‘all-time’ after the siren execution of those English lads. However, this week isn't all about the RA RA - we take some time to talk about our weekend activities, we discuss the best proposal stories, we test the boys French speaking skills and of course we dumpster dive right back into Swoop’s Temu cupboard. So sit back, relax and take and intravenous dose of some fucking C’est La Vie. It is time to say “Such Is Life” with an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

• KOKO Flies Solo as the Super Rugby Heats up and the Six Nations Explodes 10.03.2026 1h 10min

  This week on the KOKO Show we are foraging around the world of rugby as lone rangers lost in a wilderness of psychedelic southern footy and naturally naughty northern Internationals. That is right, we are serving up an extra sloppy no guest nonsense for you, allowing our little island of misfit degenerates to spread their wings and do what they do best, talk absolute rubbish and little bit of rugby. First up, we get stuck right into all the action of Super Rugby from the weekend that saw the Reds sneak home against the unbeaten Brumbies, the Blues castrate the Crusaders and the Canes show the Tahs who is daddy. Just to name a few, plus we get right into the nitty gritty with the Guinness Six Nations, with Ireland downing the Dragons, the English getting pantsed by the panettone producing Italians and the Scots telling the French where they can escargot! Plus, we break down all the magical machinations heading into the final week of games as the best comp in the world (so they say) goes down to the wire. Finally, the lads have a little fun around fire as they pick out some famous rugby appendages, they hand out some ‘Re-KOKO-mendations’ for the fans and of course we finish with our very own ‘Titan of Temu’. So sit back, relax and get out your night vision goggles, KOKO is about to go full stealth.

  We are back for our first episode of the year and there is no better place to launch our new season than from the 2027 Rugby World Cup Schedule Reveal on the beautiful shores of Sydney Harbour. With the formalities all done and dusted, the games all announced and the William Webb Ellis trophy doing its thing around Australia the lads got to sit down with World Rugby Chair and former Wallaby Brett Robinson for a candid chat about the upcoming tournament. The boys press Brett on his must watch games for the World Cup, the teams that could shock the competition and what he expects from the opening match between the Wallabies and Hong Kong China in Perth. With the World Cup just around the corner in 2027 it is fair to say that rugby hysteria is at fever pitch down under and KOKO can't wait for it to roll around.
