Sione Tuipulotu is the Centre of Attention as KOKO Finalise their Locked in Lions
This week on The KOKO Show the lads were plagued with a serious case of Les Kiss fever, but they didn't seem to be that phased by this particular ailment, as they delivered a wall to wall recap of the week that was in World Rugby. Firstly, the boys addressed the new appointment of Les Kiss as the next Wallabies coach, a decision that buoyed the boys and got them all a little hot under the saddle blanket for the future of Australian Rugby.
To help the fellas through the ups and downs of Les Kiss fever, we enlisted a very special guest to add some much needed star power to our very pedestrian weekly production. That is right, this week we are joined by the Frankston firecracker, Melbourne’s man of marble and now Glasgow’s benevolent bulldozer. So, please welcome Scotland’s captain and Australia’s one that got away, Mr Sione Tuipulotu. Sione and the lads chewed the fat about all things footy, from what it was like leaving Australia for Scotland, his recovery from a peck injury and what it would feel like to be given the honour to play for the British and Irish Lions.
Finally, the crew give you their tangy yet tasteful takeaways from the week of rugby, touching on week 12 of the Superb season, the Wallaroos’ big win over Fiji and all the action from the European Champions Cup Semi-Finals. Lastly, to put a big fat bow on what has been a constant segment for the show all year, the lads finally cement their lucky 37 as we finalise our squad of Locked In Lions. So knock back a couple of downers, put on your compression socks and talk shit to your flight attendant, this metal bird is taking to the skies and boy it is going to be a bumpy fucking ride. It is time for an all new Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

Kick Offs and Kick Ons
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.
