A rugby show like no other, where the only thing bigger than the names are the laughs and good times.


In an unfiltered chinwag with host and comedian, James 'The Professor Rochford, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Matt Giteau and Drew Mitchell share incredible stories from their global careers and offer their take on rugby's latest happenings. Every week we'll be diving into what’s been going on across ‘the game they play in heaven’ amongst other on and off-field fun.


Imagine catching up with your mates at the local drinking hole and debriefing on the weekend's antics…that is if your mates were some of the best rugby players of all time!


That’s the low-down. We love making it and hope you'll love tuning in.

  • LES KISS UNFILTERED! WALLABIES BOSS FACES THE KOKO BOYS!

    LES KISS UNFILTERED! WALLABIES BOSS FACES THE KOKO BOYS!
    Oct 27 2026

    KOKO ROLLS OUT THE BIG DOG! WALLABIES HEAD COACH LES KISS JOINS THE BOYS FOR AN ABSOLUTE BLOCKBUSTER!


    THIS IS A BIG ONE, KOKO FAMILY! We've had legends, larrikins, World Cup winners and some of the biggest names in rugby grace the KOKO couch, but this week we've landed the BIG KAHUNA himself! The man holding the keys to Australian rugby's future, the man tasked with rebuilding the Wallabies into a world-beating force, and quite possibly the most important bloke in Australian rugby right now… WALLABIES HEAD COACH LES KISS!


    In one of the biggest interviews we've ever done, Les sits down with Gits, Drew, Swoop and Prof for a fascinating, funny and refreshingly honest conversation about his remarkable coaching career, the exciting Wallabies squad he's assembling, his wonderfully weird coaching techniques and the massive Northern Hemisphere tour looming on the horizon. With the 2027 Rugby World Cup on home soil fast approaching, the boys get a rare insight into the man steering the Wallabies ship. And of course, this being KOKO, they couldn't resist throwing the boss a few curly questions to see whether he can handle the heat! This blockbuster interview is proudly brought to you by Visit Brisbane and their Sunrise Economy.


    But there's plenty more rugby to sink our teeth into! The boys celebrate the Wallaroos making it three wins over Scotland, dissect Australia A's victory over the USA in Nashville and wrap up all the latest action from the wonderful world of rugby.


    Plus, thanks to Hahn, we bring you our How Good Fan Moments as we farewell Wallaroos legends Emily Chancellor and Cecilia Smith from international rugby and celebrate Eva Karpani reaching the magnificent milestone of 50 Test caps!


    Throw in a healthy dose of Pillar Performance, another cracking instalment of the KOKO Audiobook Club thanks to Audible, and the usual outrageous banter, questionable opinions and absolute carry-on from your favourite four rugby degenerates.


    The Wallabies' top dog, a couple of massive Aussie wins and four blokes who probably shouldn't be allowed to interview the national coach. EPISODE 36 IS AN ABSOLUTE RIPPER!


    It's time to KICK OFF and KICK ON!

  • BLEDISLOE BLUES & ONE INCREDIBLE BLOKE! NATHAN “CHEESE” CHARLES JOINS KOKO

    BLEDISLOE BLUES & ONE INCREDIBLE BLOKE! NATHAN “CHEESE” CHARLES JOINS KOKO
    Oct 20 2026
    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.The KOKO Show is back for Episode 35 as Gits, Drew, Swoop and Prof pick through the wreckage of Bledisloe 2, dissect the All Blacks' devastating first-half demolition and ask the million-dollar question: Where the bloody hell do the Wallabies go from here? With England waiting at Twickenham, the boys debate whether there's light at the end of the tunnel or if Australian rugby is heading for another long, dark winter.But this week is about far more than footy, as we welcome former Wallaby, Western Force legend and all-round champion bloke Nathan "Cheese" Charles for an incredibly special conversation. From defying the odds with cystic fibrosis to his recent Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis, Cheese shares his extraordinary story of courage, resilience and perspective. It's a powerful reminder that some things are much bigger than rugby, although that won't stop the boys from dishing out a healthy serving of classic KOKO stupidity.THE RUGBY ROUNDUP – THANKS TO VISIT BRISBANEThe boys celebrate the Wallaroos' demolition of Scotland, unpack the Aussie Sevens action and look ahead to Brisbane becoming Australia's ultimate sporting playground, with the 2027 Rugby World Cup, a massive calendar of sporting events and the 2032 Olympics on the horizon.CAPE MENTELLE UNCOMPROMISING CHARACTERAll Blacks wrecking ball Peter Lakai takes the honours after a monster performance in Sydney. Plus, the boys relive their Cape Mentelle Long Lunch, where the wine was flowing and the rugby stories were getting progressively less believable.SANTOS ENERGY WHERE IT MATTERSWe revisit the devastating 15-minute All Blacks blitz that ripped the heart out of the Wallabies and left 75,000 fans wondering what on earth they'd just witnessed.HAHN HOW GOOD FAN MOMENTSThe boys relive the magic of their live Bledisloe post-match show at Accor Stadium, celebrate some incredible moments involving Nathan Charles and give a massive shoutout to the fans who stuck around to enjoy the chaos.There's also Pillar's Personal Performance of the Week, where four former rugby stars attempt to rediscover their athletic prime through supplements and recovery, before KOKO's Audiobook Club thanks to Audible returns with Matthew McConaughey's Greenlights, as the boys attempt to find some life lessons from Hollywood's most philosophical cowboy. Alright, alright, alright!The Bledisloe might be done and dusted, but the KOKO boys are only getting warmed up!LIKE, SUBSCRIBE AND GET A LITTLE CHEESY WITH KOKO!RWC Experiences: Official Hospitality & Ticket + Hotel Packages, Every Match on Sale Now https://experiences.rugbyworldcup.com/rwc2027/?utm_source=KOKO+pod&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=KOKO&utm_id=RWCE27 DOWNLOAD THE AUDIBLE AP AND START LISTENING TODAYhttps://www.audible.com.au/NATHAN CHARLES GO FUND ME - https://gofund.me/ec25a9ecbTIMESTAMPS00:00 - Start of the Show00:28 - Bled 2 Initial Thoughts & Feelings00:54 - Pillar Performance Moments01:19 - Rugby Round Up Brought to You by Visit Brisbane12:40 - Wallabies v All Blacks28:56 - Wallaroos v Scotland & Sevens30:58 - KOKO Shout Out Segment32:45 - KOKO on Marky Mark36:10 - Cape Mentelle41:02 - Gits Living with Tommy42:24 - Santos Energy Where It Matters Segment46:00 - Welcome Nathan Charles46:57 - Nathan's Time at Bled 249:02 - How Is Nathan Going?55:49 - Good Things Happening to Nathan59:00 - Nathan's Purpose59:48 - Link to Jai Arrow01:04:39 - What Did Nathan Do After Diagnosis?01:06:57 - Start Bench Drop01:10:17 - Greatest Career Moment01:18:07 - How Good Fan Moments by Hahn01:22:03 - KOKO's Audiobook Club by Audible01:29:10 - Goodbyes Hosted on Acast.
