Matt Philip Stops by the KOKO Pig Pen and the Boys Discuss the Plight of Punch
Kick Offs and Kick OnsShow Notes
This week on the KOKO Show we got down and dirty with the buff, broad and beautiful captain of the NSW Waratahs Mr Matt Philip. With Matt riding comfortably in our side-car of craziness, the lads chat about the Tahs hot start to 2026, his return home to skipper his childhood team and lastly we play a little game of TRUE of FALSE the Matt Philip edition. Plus, the boys get hot and bothered about round two of the Superb Rugby, talking all things oval ball in the Pacific, as well as, a little trip up North to chat Six Nations footy, focussing heavily on French flare and English despair.
Furthermore, Drew this week has been enamoured about the plight of the Japanese monkey Punch and his hardships he has faced after being disowned and bullied in captivity. Thus, we have launched a new segment where the boys illuminate something in their lives that they just can’t let go of, all whilst holding ‘Hope’ the orangutan of comfort. Lastly but certainly not the least, we are back with a couple of juicy segments to round out the ep, Swoop adds a few more items to his Temu cupboard and the lads play a little game called ‘Guess that Salad’. So sit back, relax and think about how shit England is at rugby. If that can’t make you smile then you must be dead inside, but for now 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!
