THE WALLABIES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT CRASHING BACK TO EARTH!After all the hype, hope and belief that this could finally be Australia's year, the All Blacks delivered a brutal reality check at Eden Park in Bledisloe 1. The Wallabies were blown off the park, and now the big question is whether they can pick themselves up, dust themselves off and bounce back in Sydney for Bledisloe 2.The KOKO Show is back for Episode 34 as Gits, Drew, Swoop and Prof dissect the Eden Park demolition, uncover where it all went wrong for the Wallabies and debate what needs to change if Australia is any chance of turning the tables on the All Blacks in Sydney.We're also joined by former All Black Brad Weber, who gives us the Kiwi perspective on the Eden Park smash job, reveals what New Zealand really thinks of this Wallabies side and shares his predictions for the second Bledisloe showdown.The boys crown Jordie Barrett this week's Cape Mentelle Uncompromising Character, while the All Blacks' ruthless ability to turn pressure into points from anywhere on the park earns the Santos Energy Where It Matters Moment of the Week.PLUS, thanks to Rugby World Cup Experiences, we tackle one of rugby's biggest debates: Is Australia v New Zealand REALLY rugby's greatest rivalry? Or has a quarter-century of All Blacks dominance taken the shine off one of the game's most iconic contests?And the KOKO family is getting BIGGER! We're absolutely stoked to welcome Hahn and Pillar Performance as brand-new sponsors of the show. Two cracking brands joining the KOKO madness — welcome to the family, legends!Plenty of rugby, plenty of arguments and absolutely no shortage of Kiwi smugness.It's all happening on Episode 34 of The KOKO Show!LET'S GET INTO IT!RWC Experiences: Official Hospitality & Ticket + Hotel Packages, Every Match on Sale Now https://experiences.rugbyworldcup.com/rwc2027/?utm_source=KOKO+pod&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=KOKO&utm_id=RWCE27 CAPE MENTELLE LONG LUNCH TICKETS - https://capementelle1.rezdy.com/774038/2026-bledisloe-cup-lunchDOWNLOAD THE AUDIBLE AP AND START LISTENING TODAYhttps://www.audible.com.au/NATHAN CHARLES GO FUND ME - https://gofund.me/ec25a9ecbTIMESTAMPS00:00 - Start of the Show00:50 - Initial Thoughts on Bled 106:07 - Pillar's Personal Performance Weekend Update09:56 - Rugby Round Up - All Blacks v Wallabies by Visit Brisbane17:13 - Introduce Brad Weber17:45 - Brad's Initial Take20:18 - Brad on Momentum22:00 - Brad on D-Mac23:44 - Cape Mentelle Award - Jordie Barrett27:12 - Les Kiss & Dave Rennie Post-Match29:06 - The Week Is a Long Time Chat32:37 - Which Wallabies Player Would Brad Take?34:06 - Marky Mark Chat36:33 - SA v NZ World Cup Quarter-Final farce37:36 - Bye to Brad Weber40:49 - Santos Energy Where It Matters Segment43:00 - Bled 2 Forecast & Confusion53:15 - Hahn’s How Good Fan Moments56:00 - KOKO Audiobook Club brought to you by Audible01:02:38 - Prof's Big Rugby Questions01:08:57 - Rugby World Cup Experiences NZ V AUS Debate01:13:19 - Predictions & Close Hosted on Acast.

The Wallabies have done the impossible!The KOKO Show is back after one of the wildest Test matches we’ve ever seen, as the Wallabies take down the back-to-back World Champion Springboks in absolute chaos! The boys break down the madness, including the TMO PHONE DISASTER and an unbelievable final 10 minutes that saw Australia reduced to just 11 men against 15. Somehow, the Wallabies dug in, refused to break and produced one of the gutsiest finishes you’ll ever see. Aussie spirit at its finest — and our Santos Energy Where It Matters Moment of the Week.We’re also joined by Wallabies and Western Force flyer Dylan Pietsch! Dylan chats about his journey, his footy, life at the Force and the speed, power and physicality he brings to Australian Rugby.There’s plenty more Aussie rugby to celebrate, with the Wallaroos getting the job done against Scotland, while the boys wrap up all the Super Rugby AUS action and look ahead to a HUGE Western Force v Waratahs FINAL this weekend.Ryan Lonergan takes home our Cape Mentelle Uncompromising Character of the Week before the lads pull out the crystal ball and make their WAY TOO EARLY Rugby World Cup Round of 16 predictions — all thanks to Rugby World Experiences.GO ALL OUT!Enjoy you beautiful KOKO-Nutters!#TheKOKOShow #Wallabies #Springboks #DylanPietsch #Wallaroos #SuperRugbyAUS #RugbyWorldCupTimestamps00:00 - Start of the Show01:03 - First thoughts about Wallabies v South Africa05:33 - Suaalii on the wing, did it work?06:51 - Is Sorgo the best winger in the world?08:29 - South African fans kicking off on KOKO10:12 - The Cape Mentelle Uncompromising Character16:12 - The Wallabies forwards stood up17:03 - Dylan Pietsch joins KOKO19:03 - Dylan watched the Wallabies on the plane19:45 - Dylan’s injury22:40 - Western Force makes Super AUS Final v Tahs24:25 - Dylan still in comms with Les & Wallabies26:38 - Why does Lonergan tape all fingers?29:00 - Dylan’s jaw injury31:26 - Dylan rocked the Lions33:01 - Dylan is a serious artist35:41 - KOKO Quick Fire40:08 - Santos Energy Where It Matters Segment44:57 - Wallaroos v Scotland47:26 - Rugby World Cup Experience Bracketology55:31 - Close the ShowRWC Experiences: Official Hospitality & Ticket + Hotel Packages, Every Match on Sale Now https://experiences.rugbyworldcup.com/rwc2027/?utm_source=KOKO+pod&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=KOKO&utm_id=RWCE27 CAPE MENTELLE LONG LUNCH TICKETS - https://capementelle1.rezdy.com/774038/2026-bledisloe-cup-lunchBUY 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 [email protected].

The KOKO Show is back for Episode 30 and this week it’s just the boys on the couch getting stuck into a massive week of rugby!First up, the Springboks have officially wrapped up Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, finishing the series 3-1 over the All Blacks after another huge showdown in Baltimore. With the Boks continuing to dominate world rugby, the boys ask the big question — are these Springboks the greatest team ever?Then we turn our attention to the Wallabies, as the lads go through the newly announced squad and break down the big selections, who could make the difference and, most importantly… how the hell can the Wallabies beat the Springboks in two weeks?!There’s plenty more Aussie footy to unpack, with the Wallaroos pushing the Red Roses in England, while Super Rugby Aus gets underway with big wins for the Western Force and Waratahs.And with no guest to keep the boys under control, we finish things off with a game of ‘Who Is This Teammate?’ — putting Gits, Drew and Swoop’s knowledge of their former teammates to the ultimate test.No guest. No filter. Plenty of footy and the usual amount of KOKO chaos.Enjoy you beautiful KOKO-Nutters!TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Start of the Show & top line Boks takes01:54 - Springboks v All Blacks - Series Over06:08 - The Boks don’t have a weak link07:01 - Good call taking it to the US09:07 - How do teams go 80 with the Boks?12:48 - Why are the Boks so dominant?16:10 - Wallabies Squad for Springboks21:00 - Wallaroos v England23:27 - Super Aus RND1 Recap28:35 - Santos Festival of Rugby in Roma30:33 - Rugby World Cup Experiences Segment41:32 - ‘Name That Teammate’ Game45:36 - What did we learn on the weekend?50:50 - KOKO Uber Ratings52:10 - Close of the showRWC Experiences: Official Hospitality & Ticket + Hotel Packages, Every Match on Sale Now https://experiences.rugbyworldcup.com/rwc2027/?utm_source=KOKO+pod&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=KOKO&utm_id=RWCE27  Hosted on Acast.
