Heavy is the Head that Wears the KOKO Crown

About this episode

The episode features a deep dive into the latest rugby news and results, along with a fun quiz to celebrate the King's Birthday.

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.
