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!
