Big Ben Tameifuna Adds Some Serious Size to our Feeble KOKO Pack

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by a man that makes you lick your lips and shake your hips, he is 140 clicks of grain fed gorgeousness, it is of course the Bordeaux Baddie himself Mr Ben Tameifuna. With big Ben riding shotgun the boys recap his second UBB European Championship, his post-win social media content and we play a little game of ‘Fact or Fiction - The Big Ben Edition’. Plus, we do a deep dive into the Super Rugby Final and discuss how the Hurricanes dismantled Ben’s beloved Chiefs in the biggest final defeat of all time. With the international season merely 11 sleeps away the boys sink their teeth into the burning questions surrounding the most recent Joe Schmidt Wallabies Squad, they tackle the big bad All Blacks selections and then we give you all the pressing rugby news and scores from around the globe. Lastly we get super handy Swoop to sit down and nut out some listener issues with another helpful dose of ‘Swoop Will Sort It’. So sit back, relax and throw on your most fashionable beret because we are about to send your blood sugar soaring with an all new super-sized episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on The KOKO Show we are joined by one of the hardest men in All Blacks history. A blinding back-rower that made a living snapping necks, cashing cheques and hoisting silverware. It is of course the Manawatu Monster and still the middleweight champion of all of our hearts, it is the one and only Mr Chris Masoe. With Masi in tow the lads discuss the 2026 Hurricanes and how they will go about getting the choccies this weekend against the Chiefs in the Super Rugby Final. They also yarn about the best back-row Masi ever played with, their time in Toulon together and what it was like going from professional rugby to professional boxing. Plus, Goit has a little fun with Masi about how after 10 years of living in France, his French never got better and his English actually got worse.In the second half of the show the boys break a box of Australian Rugby collectors cards all thanks to TGI, we also debut a new segment called ‘Swopp Will Sort It’ and the lads do a full run of all the footy action coming out of the Northern Hemisphere. Finally, the boys chat about their upcoming Wallabies House Live Show on the 4th of July and Drew goes on a true spiritual journey about his absolute love for sport. So sit back, relax, whip out a kebab and really enjoy the highlights of the mighty Socceroos feeding Turkiye at the FIFA World Cup. It is time now for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we are serving up a ‘no guest nonsense' episode on the King’s Birthday Long Weekend, and boy do we give this one the royal treatment. With Swoop stuck in Lithgow and Goit cosy in Canberra, the lads bring to the fore more bloody rugby than you can poke your little stick at. As all the Aussie Super Rugby sides have now bailed out of the competition the boys give you an in-depth rundown of all the Qualifying Finals results, we pick our semi-final winners and we hand down a little report card for each of the Aussie sides in 2026. Plus, we get stuck into a plethora of other rugby news from around the globe, we do a score check from the global footy park and we also pick our ‘Way Too Early Wallabies’ starting XV. Finally, to lift the spirits amidst the Aussie Super Rugby demise the boys partake in a little regal festivity, as they play the infamous King’s Birthday Quiz. So sit back, relax, spark up a durrie and put on some Shane Warne highlights (the real king), it is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by our favourite Trans-Tasman talisman, a bloke that brings the vibes to Kiwi Rugby and used to go by the nickname Sops but now for obvious reasons now goes by Slops. It is the one and only Mr Lima Sopoaga. With Lima riding pillion on this hot throbbing hog of a podcast, the boys get stuck into the Super Rugby Playoff picture, they reminisce about the Highlanders win in 2015 and they talk about how the kiwis can find the motivation to win in absolutely anything. Plus, the lads have a little fun with a game we like to call ‘A Schooner Of…’ where they have to name a beverage that best suits a certain rugby union superstar. Despite the fact that Swoop’s Temu Cupboard is still shut for a few more weeks the content mastermind was hard at work with a new segment called ‘The Great Pie Off’. In this segment the boys taste test three pies from Aus and NZ to crown the ultimate thick crust king. So sit back, relax and insert your electronic chess cheating device of choice. This show is about to blow Magnus Carlsen out of the bloody water. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we have landed one of the ‘Big Dawgs’ of World Rugby. We are talking the inside centre to end all inside centres, despite only being the 5th best footy player in his family. That’s right, the KOKO Crew are joined by the all conquering, the all powerful and the always wear sunblock Mr Jordie Barrett. With Jordie in tow the lads get stuck into the Hurricanes’ dream season finishing top of the table, the push into the finals, the ethos of the team and who they wanna play at the pointy end, however, it isn’t code mode with Jordie on the line. We also delve into some funny moments Jordie has had off the pitch in a little segment we like to call ‘Please Explain’, whilst also once and for all settling the AUS v NZ pie debate.Plus, for all our naughty Northern know-it-alls Swoop gets up on his Bordeaux soap box and really goes off about UBB’s back to back efforts in the European Champions Cup, much to Jordie’s dismay. Finally, we have noticed Drew feeling a little left out on the show so we remedy that with a full segment and a little quiz all about the big and beautiful Biv. So sit back, relax and get stuck into a crispy crusted meaty, whilst washing it down with a brand new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Start of the show01:45 - Tom’s grape update 04:26 - KOKO apologises to Drew 06:48 - The Drew Quiz13:15 - The Rugby Round Up - CRUSADERS V CHIEFS 16:20 - WARATAHS V BRUMBIES 22:09 - REDS V MOANA 25:66 - HURRICANES V HIGHLANDERS AND JORDIE BARRETT JOINS26:38 - Intro Jordie Barrett 28:14 - Jordie on Reuben Love’s language 28:43 - The Hurricanes form in 2026 30:53 - Jordie on possible finals matchups 31:54 - The ethos of the Hurricanes 34:54 - Cory Jane’s coaching influence 36:05 - Goit’s curly questions 37:33 - START, BENCH AND DROP38:59 - Rehashing the ‘Ditch Debate’40:55 - The Please Explain Game 45:23 - Jordie on the ANZAC Test47:09 - Jordie on Leinster losing another final 52:01 - FORCE V DRUA 58:55 - Other Rugby News 01:01:20 - Close of the show BUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickonsTWITTER/X: @kickoffskickonsYOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickonsTIKTOK: @kickoffskickonsIf you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].

This week on the KOKO Show we have landed one of the biggest names in the world of rugby. We are talking about hot bloody property! This bloke is a 6 foot 3 - 105kg piece of Temora forged titanium, a consistent threat under the high ball and a fella that is doing his best to make the 70’s pornstar chin beard a thing in 2026. That is right we are joined by the Western Force enforcer Mr Zac Lomax. With ‘Zac Attack’ in tow the lads chat about his transition from league to union, the cultural differences between the two codes and he sheds some light on the 2026 NSW State of Origin team selection. Furthermore, the boys delve deep into Zac’s acclamation process in Perth with the Force and they speak about the biggest league fan boys within the footy club. Plus, we play a little game of ‘Footy,footy or Footy’ to unpack some of the lesser known off-field controversies from the three football codes over the years. Finally, we of course chat about all the action from Round 14 of the Super Rugby, we preview all the juicy clashes in the final two weeks of the season with knockout implications and lastly we pick our Earth XV to take on the Mars XV in the inaugural intergalactic showdown. So sit back, relax and let the ‘Hot as fuck boi’ energy of Zac Lomax wash over you like a session at one of those fancy Japanese head spas. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we were left to our own devices to wander this expansive podcasting landscape in search of a couple of fart gags, cheap laughs and a little bit of footy. Without a guest to be the wind beneath our little wings, the lads found another gear that they didn't know they had. The boys decided in week 13 to throw Schmidt at the wall to see what would stick and boy did we tackle all the big stuff like the benefits of hybrid rugby players, The ANZAC Test and whether Australia or NZ make the best meat pies. Plus, we dove into a deep rabbit hole to cover the full slate of games in round thirteen of the Super Rugby, as well as a little preview of the European Champions Cup between Bordeaux and Leinster coming up in a few weeks time. Moreover, the boys indulged in a little segment we call ‘The Ditch Debate’, unpacking all the great disagreements between the island nations of Australia and New Zealand. That is right, this little podcast has put to bed the once and for all the fates of such things as Brad Thorn, Phar Lap, the ANZAC biccy and the Flat White coffees. You are welcome! So sit back, relax and brew yourself a cup of joe because this episode has just popped a spicy cube and is all systems go. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by Australian Rugby’s version of ‘Good Will Hunting’. This bloke is ‘wicked smart’, with two degrees from Cambridge University, a passion for art and his own clothing line, he really makes the rest of us feel like shit. So please put your hands together for everyone’s favourite neanderthal turned nerd, Mr Angus Scott-Young. With Gussy in tow the lads delve into the tough times he had in pre-season, the form he is now showcasing for the Waratahs and what it is really like to be rugby’s most eligible bachelor. Plus, the lads get their juices flowing with a little game centered around Philosophy, they play another round of teammate tinder and we get stuck into how the Waratahs can still make the finals.Finally, the boys get a little hot under the saddle blanket at the prospect of an ANZAC Day Bledisloe match up, we cover all the Super Round from round 12 and finish the show with what Angus Scott-Young would cook for Goit on a first date.

This week on the KOKO Show we are giving you a little taste of double trouble. That is right, we are joined by a couple of country Canberians, one little and one big, one loud and one quiet, but they both have the hots for Megan Fox. We are of course talking about the ACT’s favourite duo, Ryan and Lachlan the Lonergan Brothers. With this genetically opposing duo in tow we chat about the Brumbies season so far, what their relationships are like with Stephen Larkham and we play a little game called Bonded Bros, to see how close they really are. However, it is not all fun and games as we dive into week 11 of the Super rugby, we talk about the Wallaroos’ loss to the USA and we get really bloody excited about heading across the ditch to Super Round Ōtautahi in Christchurch.Plus, we celebrate all things brotherly love with a few little videos from all the boys’ fraternal friends and Swoop serves up a stinky Temu Cupboard that you will never unsee. So sit back, relax and hug your big burly brother. This ep is about to hit you right in the feels.

This week on the KOKO Show your prayers have been answered! You have begged and pleaded for this man to return and KOKO has delivered. Coming in and running a juicy unders line from the outside channel is a man that goes by many names and has just as many different personalities. He has been called Snorkatron, Snorklebeanie, Captain Insano and of course the Porn Master. This Linfield legend lives off a steady diet of reminiscing about his 2003 SF intercept, making the tech world his bitch and forcing people to tell him that his lisp even as an adult is still really cute. So please put your hands together for Stirling Austin Mortlock! With Stirlo in tow the lads get down to business throwing questions at the Oracle in a segment we call ‘Snork Talk’, they chat about the current Wallabies set up and they shine a light on what actually happened when Morty called a Code Red on Swoop. Plus, we chat about round 9 of the Superb Rugby and we play a new little game called ‘Green and Goldylocks’.Finally, we reintroduce old friend NordVPN back on the show as a sponsor, as well as the lads get giddy about the news that they are heading to Super Round in Christchurch in only a couple of weeks. Plus, we let Swoop run a muck inside his Temu cupboard and boy, let's just say he is giving main character vibes. So sit back, relax and let the innate beauty of Snorkatron fill your every orifice, it has been worth the wait.
