Show Notes
This week on The KOKO Show the lads were a little down in the dumps and we decided that we wouldn't subject a special guest to our somber footy fuelled pizza-less pity party. Thus, we went for a no guest nonsense episode in the hope that with each other's support, love and no mention of Italian cuisine, we might start to make some sense of the Azurri’s shocking defeat over the Wallabies in Udine. The boys in this ep untie the bondage ropes, unfurl the main-sail and shoot from the hip as they search for answers surrounding the apparent regression of Australian rugby post their historical win over the Boks in South Africa. Questions are raised and theories are presented as to why our glorious gold jersey is dipping back into bad habits and playing an inaccurate brand of footy that screams fatigue and self-doubt. However, KOKO isn't just a one stop shop for doom and gloom, as we touch on all the other results from week two of the Spring Tour, matches that saw the Boks bounce the Frogs, the English defeat Fiji, the Pumas pounce on the Welsh and the All Blacks thumb their noses to the thistles. Plus, we take a look forward to week 3 of the tour, previewing and predicting that some teams (the All Blacks) will continue their roll and where others can bounce back from the depths of defeat (the Wallabies). Finally, the lads really lighten the mood of the show by answering a listener's question to take their minds off the on field action and boy does it ruffle a couple of feathers. So sit back, relax and boycott your local Italian businesses, it is very clear that they are doing better than advertised! Alorra ladies and gentlemen, it is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

More from 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!
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?
The Wallabies have done the impossible!
