This week on The KOKO Show we unshackled our chains, cut the bow lines loose and unloaded the dead weight, that is right Swoop is sick and there isn't a bloody guest within cooee of our glorious studio. Our thoughts and prayers were dispensed to a sick little boy on the couch called Swoop, whether it is the spring time sniffles, his hayfever ramping up or two cracking nights on the lash, a sick little puppy is a sick little puppy. Despite being down one of our valuable foot soldiers, Matt Giteau, Drew Mitchell and The Prof really stepped up to the plate and took some ‘big ole’ swings at analysing this topsy turvy, curly wurly and herky jerky RC competition. The lads cast their educated eyes over all the ra ra action from across the weekend, shedding light on how the Wallabies were a pack of naughty boys against the Pumas in Sydney and how the All Blacks got slapped silly in record setting style by the surging Springboks. Moreover, the boys armed with their footy IQ’s and a belly full of beer threw the proverbial leg over all the possible RC machinations in the hope of finding some clarity in this Even Steven season.

Plus, we say farewell to the valiant Wallaroos from the 2025 Rugby World Cup, applauding their efforts and achievements in reaching the quarter-finals and showcasing the progress women's rugby has seen both on the pitch and in the stands. Congratulations girls, we couldn't be more proud! Finally, our Swoopless trio of heroes had a little look at the Super Rugby AUS matches from the weekend, expressing their highlights and low lights from the two matches that showcased the next generation of Aussie stars. It is clear due to the mercury rising that spring is springing and souls are singing for some of that rock hard Aussie vitamin D. So kick off your well oiled Chelsea boots and slide on those Positano purchased driving loafers, it is time for an all new episode of Kick Off and Kick Ons.
