Joe Rokocoko Comes on Board and Totally ‘Rocks-KOKO’ to its Core

This week on The KOKO Show the band is back together to celebrate the fun, frivolity and fineries that finals footy has to offer. We tackle all the action of the Super Rugby Qualifying Finals, whilst also looking forward to the seismically sensational Semi-Finals this coming weekend. Plus, we get a little naughty up North for all the footy loving legends on the more populous side of the Equator, breaking down all the Champagne rugby from the URC and Premiership Semi-Finals. To help us on our journey towards podcasting perfection, we enlisted the help of one of the greatest finishers of all time to dot this episode over the white line and claim victory for the good guys. This Fijian born South Auckland raised wrecking ball made a career out of cashing cheques and snapping necks as he ran past you at a rate of knots, please welcome the swan-diving sensation that is Mr Joe Rokocoko. With Joe in tow the lads reflect on his sublime 98 Test Match career, the times he made all three of them look like chumps and what it actually takes to be one of the best wingers the rugby world has ever seen. To cap off this tremendous trot down the wingers walk of fame the lads finalise a few more selections in our table topping team of ‘Lion Tamers’. Moreover, they have a greasy little gander at some hot off the press ‘Other Rugby News’, all in the name of keeping you, our loyal listener well informed. So, book yourself a Swedish hot stone massage, sip on the complementary ice cold cucumber water and bluetooth your way into some KOKO bliss. It is now time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Start of the show03:15 - KOKO Learnings - The boys are playing footy again07:55 - Live Show dates are coming 08:34 - Swoop’s unregistered car story 11:00 - Drew meeting his rugby mentor in the Gold Coast 12:46 - Drew and Gits headed up to Brisbane to promote KOKO18:48 - Congratulations to Carlo Tizzano and Emma on their engagement 20:46 - Rugby Round Up Segment 21:04 - CRUSADERS V REDS REVIEW 24:04 - CHIEFS V BLUES REVIEW 26:00 - BRUMBIES V HURRICANES 29:06 - Super Rugby Semi Finals Predictions 32:55 - Introduce the Joe Rokocoko interview 34:43 - Joe talks about playing the KOKO boys 36:23 - Joe’s time in France 38:54 - Joe’s fondest memories in his career 40:15 - Joe’s biggest mentors 42:56 - Joe on playing against Wendell 45:31 - Joe’s try celebrations 48:28 - Best winger Joe ever faced 50:44 - Bench, Start and Drop 55:14 - Joe’s take on the current Blues side 55: 51 - Joe’s All Blacks back 3 58:08 - Joe’s take on the Wallabies v ABs59:13 - Joe’s prediction of the 2025 Lions Series 01:01:03 - Northern Hemisphere Legends Segment 01:05:22 - The Lion Tamers 01:07:22 - Other Rugby News 01:11:51 - One KOKO Quiz Question 01:13:01 - Close of the showBUY YOUR KOKO MERCHANDISE AND STAY TUNED FOR EVENTS - www.kickoffsandkickons.comMake sure you follow us on all socials:INSTA: @kickoffskickons TWITTER/X: @kickoffskickons YOUTUBE: @kickoffsandkickons TIKTOK: @kickoffskickons If you do want to talk about sponsorship or anything business related then please do get in touch with us [email protected].
