Show Notes

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by three whopping guests, that is right we are bringing you a smorgasbord of footy talent that can only be found on a podcast hosted by three Wallabies has-beens and one footy wannabe. With the RC completing its third lap around the sun the boys are joined by everyone's favourite moustachioed mountain big Willy Skelton to chat about the Wallabies massive comeback against Los Pumas, as well as the Boks coming up short at Eden Park against the All Blacks. Plus, big Willy gives us an exclusive scoop as to whether or not this large lump of loveable energy is available for selection when the Bledisloe Cup comes around. As the RC hits its midway point the results have never been closer and the stakes have never been higher, thus the KOKO lads unpack all the machinations that could possibly unfold in what is shaping up to be a magical final three matches.

Plus, we are joined all the way from Brighton by two of the best Wallaroos that have ever laced them up. Both of these ladies are part of the fantastically fabulous 40 Cap club and they are both playing in their third World Cup, so please welcome the formidable pairing of Ashley Marsters and Trilleen Pomare. As the Wallaroos head into their Quarter-Final match-up against the clinical Canadians the girls shed some light on what it will take to beat the 2nd best team in the world and progress even further into the tournament. Plus, Ash and Trill have a little bone to pick with the Royal Family as a certain majesty had a little more time for the rampant Roses compared to our wonderful Wallaroos. With that all being said, it is time to practice your bow and work on your curtsey, as we serve up a new King sized episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

Another year, another Bledisloe beating, and another 12 months of Kiwi bragging rights. The All Blacks have absolutely towelled up the Wallabies in Sydney, piling on 43 points and leaving Australian rugby with more questions than Drew Mitchell after a night on the beers.

Swoop, Drew, Gits and the Prof go pitch-side for the KOKO Bledisloe post-match review, with special guest Jordie Barrett joining the boys to unpack the clash. From the Wallabies’ bright spots and defensive headaches to the All Blacks’ clinical attack, there’s plenty to dissect and plenty of banter along the way. Brought to you by Hahn. Hosted on Acast.

THE WALLABIES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT CRASHING BACK TO EARTH!

Oct 6, 2026

24 YEARS OF PAIN. ONE MASSIVE CHANCE TO END IT. The Wallabies haven’t lifted the Bledisloe Cup since 2002. They haven’t beaten the All Blacks at Eden Park since 1986. But after knocking off the back-to-back World Champion Springboks, could THIS finally be the Wallabies side that rewrites history?
