This week on The KOKO Show the lads are left to pick up the pieces after watching the Wallabies get put to the sword by a clinical English side over the Weekend. As Australians, there are a few things in life that can completely ruin your day: an increase in petrol prices, a shit coffee, tall poppies and losing to England in absolutely anything. So, being joined on the pod by one of England’s favourite sons Ugo Monye, made the licking of wounds so much harder for the lads as they had to navigate all the salt he was rubbing into them. With Ugo in tow and chipper as hell we broke down the English tidy up at Twickenham, illuminating where the Poms were perfect and why the Aussies couldn't fire a single shot. Ugo also gave us the low down on the English public’s current feelings about their rugby team and who they absolutely hate losing to on the world stage. Plus, we ran our collective footballing IQ’s across all the other international matches that happened over the weekend, results that saw South Africa jump Japan, Scotland make light work of the USA and the All Blacks pull apart the Irish. Finally, the KOKO crew look forward to next weekend as the Wallabies shape up to take on the Italians in Udine, whilst also previewing all the other big international matches on the card. So, to all my fellow Australians, lift up your chins, raise up your voices and say something mean to your local English import. It is time to forget about last weekend’s result, move on to next week’s match and enjoy the soothing sounds of an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
