This week on the KOKO Show we give you a double guest charcuterie board filled to the brim with Olympic sized treats. We are joined by the one woman wrecking crew who prefers flattening opponents than crossing the whitewash, she is known as the Narrabeen Knuckle Duster, but we just like to call her Miss Sariah Paki. On top of having one of the star players, we thought let’s also get the gentleman that puts these gold medal gurus through their paces. He is the Russel Crowe of the Women’s Sevens set up and boy does he have a beautiful mind, it is the mercurial messenger, Mr Tim Walsh. With the KOKO torch lit and the ceremony over, Sariah and Tim dove deep into their Olympic preparations, discussed the sacrifices for success and illuminated the best path for their gold medal domination in Paris.
Plus, the boys most certainly jumped through all the Olympic rings to bring you your favourite KOKO segments including a full ‘Rugby Roundup’ where we breakdown the Blues v Chiefs final, we had a quick visit to Dr ‘What’s Drewing?’ to discuss Joe Schmidt’s first Wallaby Squad, as well as a little squizz at the winners and losers out of the All Blacks selection session. The boys then took a little jaunt North of the Equator to unpack all the footy action over the weekend which included England pounding Japan, the Springboks emasculating the Welsh, the Top 14 Semis and finally the URC Final.
Just kick back in your comfy, stylish and durable threads from our headline sponsor Polo Ralph Lauren and let’s bloody manifest about living out our Olympic dream of being higher, faster and stronger together. So, all that is left to do is take your favourite Matt Giteau gummy, run to the fridge for snacks and hammer-curl a glass of crisp Savvy B, it’s time for another session of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

having to crack him uh while we’re there social snitches let’s do this real quick I am trying to race through this um this is a good one this was sent to us by a South African F fan Hans labain or labosky I believe it’s obviously we have Manus lab scy that is um Drew’s buttock there and the reason he sent it in is because obviously you have a tattoo that we didn’t know about which was is basically paper scissors rock donut as far as I can see there donut um yeah that was just something I did back in the early days with a a group of mates we used to go on a mystery tour at the end of each year but only one person knew the destination the rest of us just paid our money and gave our passports over and uh and on this particular trip we had to arrive into Hawaii with the tattoo that had some sort of loose resemblance to a previous trip and everything’s decided by P SC Rock so I went and got that done but I was a few weeks just prior of flying to Hawaii the boys didn’t know that I had my tattoo and playing against the Italians and he uh he just he exposed me but I was slightly okay with that um I’d be very okay with that that seat’s looking amazing yeah but then I uh I started to feel a bit of cold air on the front side which is Sharpie you can see Nathan Sharp’s face in the background um so once I sort of started to feel a bit of bit of cool air on the front I just got rid of the ball and laid down on the ground what’s tattooed on the front um anyway uh I I’ve actually had it removed I’ve had it removed have you yeah there’s nothing on my backside now oh that’s a shame prove it there’s lots of hair there’s lots of hair still there son AIT these days I don’t not so much on top of the grooming that is a fresh game day Clip if you ask me yeah and GS did it here was my room come come and clip me off he’s good at that all right now uh which what do you go though if I’m playing Paper say rock against you what’s your first move uh you’ll always go rock so I’m going paper against you cuz I’m a bit dull no no it’s just cuz you’re that’s that dominance that’s that’s right well they say it’s an indication of being in defense you know what I mean quite a defensive kind of guy yeah currently you’re a scissors guy attack yeah I’ll chop you bro and you go like wet Pap I forget what the options are remind me the options all right hey it is time to bring in our very special guests um what I’ll do the intro as they how should I do this Hugo do I do the intro or sit them down and then do yeah all right Hugo is telling me to sit them down come in guys and then we’ll

duel threat guest lineup for you and our very first current coach and player combination so please get excited for for truths to be told from both sides of the touchline now it’s pretty rare that we have guests in where they can see the person that wrote this filth and it is Thomas who’s sitting over there so if there’s anything you’re not happy with go and King hit him all right first of all our first guest this week on the Coco show is considered to be the Aussie Sev resident laran Lan this manly mermaid is said to have an infectious personality that lifts up her team while she simultaneously irons out any and all opposing players this big hitting hardhead has been a centerpiece of the seventh setup since 2017 winning com games gold going to an Olympics and dominating a World Cup this lady is bold brutal and Bad to the Bone we hope Paris has purchased a pleora of painkillers as this young lady is going to be putting people in The Hurt Locker so please put your hands together for the narab beine nightmare Australia’s golden gilded gun who just snaps necks and cashes checks told me very good it’s the one and only Miss Sarah py hi guys how’s it going thanks for you’re you’re okay with that one with Tom I’ll wait for yours that was lovely yeah that was nice Tommy I’m actually feeling really awkward now I’ve got three of those polo shirts and I live in Paddington he was were you describing wall is that what you were doing unintentionally if the shoe fits all right our next guest epitomizes the saying that a coach is only as good as their cattle so it is fair to say this guy has molded his share of wagu great footy Talent over the years after trying to play professional footy for 10 years he eventually saw that his true talents lay in the cone placing and whistleblowing Department no he is not a PE teacher but rather a heavily decorated and well renowned International sevens coach the broad chested Brizzy boys played six games for the Queensland Reds and then said I can’t do this anymore not because he couldn’t cut the gray but because he couldn’t deal with living with Drew Mitchell so please welcome the bloke who was coach both the Aussie men’s and women’s sevens teams to lofty Heights it is the one and only Mr Tim Walsh thanks for having me welcome um what was it like living with Drew was that weird we roomed on tour we okay we weren’t roommates in that’s enough Drew was the he was the kid he was uh he was on Deo um and uh that was your your opening game I think over New Zealand yeah do you remember who threw you the pass when you scored your first try I think it probably would have been you then funny yeah it was about 90 out do you remember after I think it was something like thing like this the Sumo I think something was um something with Josh Valentine I don’t know what it was but yeah against the stormers I think maybe no I thought it was a wasn’t it B yeah ball stormers the following week was the Hurricanes yeah but uh so I was the young buck he was dino dinosaur he was the old man in the in the room I was 25 yeah to me was pretty old time and I was on Deb go no no I don’t know I just remember you playing some sort of computer game like paddle walls or like you know that one that goes beep in the ball like come on there’s better games than that in 1980 yeah think that’s I was like like goody yeah very good now thanks for coming in guys obviously what did we say there 32 days until Paris that right so are you are you counting down the days until you get over there well I just got a text message from Olympic you got 34 days left so they helped out Olympic being the actual governing body in yeah they send me4 days until opening ceremony but you you guys kick off on T minus 2 days don’t you or one the men are te minus two nework and there’s a day off for the opening and then the boys play the finals on that day and then we start on 28 wow yeah that’s rubbish I hate that Happ Commonwealth Games oh just like you can’t really enjoy the opening ceremony because you’re thinking about the game so you can’t fully immerse yourself in it it happened with 2006 when we’re at Commonwealth Games we got brought in from Super Rugby didn’t do the opening ceremony cuz they’re like your legs will be tied you won’t be right to play and then we play those next two days then we’re out you never really get to experience the actual Village I don’t know if that’s the same for you you know the sevens but for us back then because it was in Melbourne we had to get in get out yeah I thought that was a bit ordinary yeah back in the in 2016 it was a bit different um when we sort of spoke to the team it was that’s where the closing ceremony is and like where’s the opening ceremony it doesn’t matter we’re not going but um then Tokyo it was a whole different story as well with Co you didn’t get to go and then this time around the girls and the boys play and then they flying straight out so they don’t even get to to stay in the in the village for for the remainder to experience the closing SE yeah I’m off that I’m off that a big part of the reason why you want to go to the the Olympics obviously it’s the sporting achievement the potential to go out there and and do your best and and achieve a gold medal but it’s also to to be a part of the Olympics and stay in the Olympic Village uh to be able to go and watch some of the other sports but the AOC if I’m not mistaken have decided that every Australian athlete once they finish have to shoot home straight away I believe so that’s rubbish what if you just got your own airnb can you still yeah yeah or maybe if you shack up with someone in in the village can you can you share a bed or I think once you check out you can’t get back in so if you don’t check outz so how many days after your last game do you get to stay in the village um the coaches are 24 4 hours which is fine I’m checking checking out anyway players of 48 hang around while she had so you got to cram it into 48 hours that’s like the whole party celebration is that enough time all right 48 Hours um I’ll just give 24 hours yeah that’ll be right and also you can’t put that on her though I mean the focus is of course clearly tomorrow right next steps but it’s it’s it’s the tournament you’re asking her something that’s ahead of time that she’s not allowed to focus on oh I you do it mate you were the athlete you asked the next question great mentoring I’d have I’d have a rough itinerary already put [Laughter] together are you um are you focused on the first game do have you already started discussing like that first person you play against or are you still too far out to start thinking about that stuff are you looking at me or cross you like look over there I was gazing between hoping one of you would pick it up um I think just one game at a time like we’ll just go game first first game who we got so the draw was the draw was out yesterday just come out AFA it just came out today Ireland and Great Britain and who’s who we got who are we playing we got South Africa in game one so it’s one V4 yeah 1 V3 1 V2 so South Africa GB Island EAS yeah e we’ve got the the Schmid in catch cry for the W should we have like a white Walsh or something or oh they’re going to it’s going to be a white wal it’s going to be a white Walsh yeah we could get shirts M we got I don’t like that okay I mean I was just spit and you can have yeah that’s fine no no just it’s just a start okay swoop you don’t swo you don’t like it come up with something else I’ll try but now I just wanted to play you know the humble card in a way where it’s like you know focus on yeah yeah simple okay so what about preparation you just had a few games up on up in Brisbane over the weekend um how did they go and and what’s the preparation leading in for the last sort of 34 30 yeah 34 days no obviously been very heavily planned for the last sort of two or three years but um yeah had a really good weekend in Brisbane um played against Fiji and Japan um got some players that uh got some valuable M uh minutes and built up those those combinations and they performed really really well um we went to mon pelier just before we hit Madrid so we did a bit of a wrecky there so we’re going to head over to monel for for 10 days and basing ourselves at the monel Rugby Club we got Jesse MOG sorting us out with some opposition um against men so working out um our prep there and then into the village for five days and then Showtime do you will you get to go to the opening ceremony because it’s going it’s on the river sand like it’s first time ever not going into the main stadium the St to France in this instance but on the river sand it’s going to be a pretty amazing spectacle will you be able to experience it to me no is that your call no it’s um it is it is your call look how award you got come mate no it’s um it’s have to walk boat yeah for six hours it’s always um holy performance-based I like it process driven keep it going but um yeah I like you can be you can have a um a great opening ceremony and then have regret you if you don’t do well so we want to finish the event without regret and um you know the best we’re always performance-based and is it going to be benefit to our performance benefit to our game one no could could we and our listeners put a little GoFundMe together in the instance that you win the gold we give you a little opening ceremony boat along the river sand after youn oh that would be lovely oh wa I don’t know if we care will you allow that will you if we get a boat that’s all they got the gold they can do whatever they want absolutely we don’t know what size boat I don’t know what size boat we could get you got you guys have got connections P you’ve been involved in the setup for many years now I’m get I want to ask in terms of your preparation has things changed you know obviously I think how many totems have you gone through this year quite a few yeah now that that’s kind of over you in the leadup to the Olympics personally or collectively is the prep changed in a way or has it stayed similar is it consistent yeah me personally mine’s been just like a bit of ups and downs like you get into a rhythm and then you kind of lose that and sit in like complacency um so I went missing for about 3 months yeah Tom would say thriving this whole time she got herself back and she’s been absolutely incredible yeah you just find complacency and then can we unpack that unpack unpack the no the complacency you know cuz you know like unpack with packs I love it oh I Love It Go for I am wearing I am wearing a polo Apollo Polo Marco Polo there he is um you know what what is it like is it just the the Rhythm or is it yeah definitely I’m definitely a rhythm and like a feel throughout the group is like if the group’s not feeling like up to it towards a game I’ll try get us all into that happy exciting leading up to a game um spiritual leader yeah what you do what will you do there me I’ll just put on you do to get the group up cuz swoops often very flat for us on the podcast Jesus just play all big hard song yeah I’ve noticed that like your your your group seemed to just be a a really well-connected group group you enjoy each other’s company but you also just enjoy the moments like there’s there’s there’s uh footage that goes around on socials just before some of the finals of these massive tournaments and just before you’re walking out you guys are all in song you’re dancing you’re just like you’re just properly enjoying yourself do you think that’s a big part of this particular group that you that’s a good barometer to kind of know where you’re at yeah I definitely feel like we’ve found that it get rid rids of our nerves and like just makes us a bit more chill and not like more anxious running out onto the field and being like oh [ __ ] I got to do this got to do that and just like when we’re running out we’re just like all right we got to do our rooll and we’re not like very stiff yeah yeah you’re you’re renowned for flattening people for ironing people out for putting on big hits um now I want to ask you do you prefer doing that or what feels better that or scoring a try um someone or I wouldn’t know cuz I don’t score that much um yeah I reckon just setting that tone in the defense it just sets the whole game up definitely where do you think that tone was developed like let’s let’s go back a few years you know it was it the fact that Northern beaches was it the narrow being sports high influence or I want to talk about your not your tackle Tech but just is it your the intent the intent the hunger yeah definitely the hunger like getting your shoulders in and yeah definitely once I make that tackle I think just playing with boys when I was younger it just like filled that drive brothers and I only got one brother four other sisters um but I played up until under 12s with the boys yeah right and then just took that into the girls GS you got something for us I can see that little hand going oh my you’ve been trying waving for about half an hour yeah I thought you were waving at corbs I was like jeez cors and Gs are getting on no sorry mate on you go cor he’s asleep I got three questions oh God none of them are related so the very first one uh Pax I’d love to see you maybe do a demonstration like swoop did on Tommy but you do it on swoop if that was possible just your Technique and how well you can get that shoulder in there the second one that wasn’t really a question but the second one is walshy that’s a request the second one waly you were talking about playing fij you had a trial in Queensland in Brisbane you played Fiji and Japan Japan Japan with those games do you show all of the game plan or what are you trying to achieve out of that answer that and then we’ll come out the third one please um I think with sevens as you know you play against six different opposition over the weekend so you you have a a menu of um of different plays and general styles of which the opposition have and where you want to attack them um so there might have been a game there where we pretended to play against a different opposition just to try and um roll out that that strategy um but there’s nothing sort of in our menu there’s you know five or six different plays and then you know if the defense does this you do this if the attack does this you do this so it’s nothing too complicated it’s just being aware of what the opposition you’re going to bring and what kind of style they have and then leave it to the players to to make the right decisions there lovely and the third one what’s your least favorite emoji you know in your phone um and it’s for both of you or for everyone really okay that’s a hard one to answer if you’re not using least yeah to find least there’s probably ones in there I’ve never seen or do you mean the one when somebody sends it to you you go ah yeah I reckon that one like yeah May that one I really hate the melted down one you know someone shows you melted down I’m like what the [ __ ] that mean I don’t really get it yeah I I I can I don’t know what half the mean you wear on lots of WhatsApp groups and obviously with the with the players and I I have to get trans translation I don’t know what they mean apart from like a a [ __ ] or a car car or something you send me a lot of eggplants Timmy I’m not sure you understand what’s this one you stop send me peaches the hands like that the T Peach you look very Italian too by the way I think you yeah that one that’s like [ __ ] you oh is it I think so oh I’ve been taking I don’t like the the cat crying Emoji or the cat laugh like [ __ ] just use the face a [ __ ] cat yeah true like that they could be you know what I mean why have they got cats not dogs doing the same other I don’t yeah and swoop you you’re the one you dislike the most no I like them all love them all good positivity today yeah thanks mate did you give us one then P did you um mine would be the like the rolling the eyes one like oh yeah never you just did you just did is a big fan of the is a big I’ve got it’s because your chat is so [ __ ] that I’m just like those ones you just like move on to it bringing it back to the footy um M there’s been a number of sort of injuries to some key key players as well jimy Hayes Lily dick mty Ashby and now Alissa [ __ ] um f [ __ ] sorry sorry um okay jeez well you know I love it I love it when someone pulls up com com I’m just not being I’ll be for the comment what do they say R but no wonder he got sacked yes yeah yeah anyway there’s a bit going that place um but how have you managed that and and what’s sort of the when do you finalize your squad before the Olympics uh the a finalize it so July 3rd they make the announcement um in terms of injuries there’s always the finding moments I think leading into a tournament where you know whether they’re ready or not and um injuries is a is a pretty good indicator and we have had a couple of uh injuries serious injuries that have been you know uh terrible for the player but also quite emotional for the team and the way that the girls have handled it has been incredible like you know there’s you know this it’s quite horrific in in the actual incident of it and then you know moving over to another of the field and continue to do the job that we’re there to do um and then from a planning point of view you know it’s a contact sport it’s we High Velocity injuries are going to happen so as um as management and coaches if we’re not prepared for them we’re not doing our job so we’re fully prepared to have injuries and not make excuses around injuries so um we’ve had them which were we didn’t we don’t wish for them but they’re expected um and we’re we’ve sort of taken them in our in our stride and for me a defining moment for the maturity of the team was how they handled that and it’s happened on on four occasions and they handled it incredibly well now let’s talk opponents quickly obviously kiwis for a long time have been sort of your main Rivals is there anybody else you’re looking at thinking oh they could be a smokey they might sneak into the gold medal game or anything like that I think um Fiji like they definitely snuck it from us in 2021 definitely a team to look out for like Scotty Bowen says Baka look out look out what about the Irish girls did they get a they got to win over you in Perth right was it yeah that’s very traumatic um sorry to bring it up yeah they just I think they played the game like very well they obviously analyzed Us and how we play and we play a fast-paced game and they just like slowed it all the way down we had about how many scrums like 15 yeah was it probably the how do you slow down a game in sevens scrums but but but how do you force scrums you know what I mean like ill discipline from what would you do to okay so they’re just trying to push the envelope trying to get ill discipline and slow it down that way yeah okay but Prof as um as C said at the at the start like I think every opposition is is a threat and if you get complacent take something for Grant I know it’s cliched but literally in know in 14 minutes you can um get off to a bad start and then the pressure comes on and then it’s uh um becomes a tight game which maybe shouldn’t and that’s another thing which we’ve been very good at in the last um I reckon six or seven tournaments we’ve won real real pressure moments um but anyone anyone’s a threat so it is literally you know game one going into the Olympics in a different sport swimming there’s been a lot of CH being a lot of hangad thrown between the Australian swim team and the US Michael Phelps Kate Campbell but also current swimmers which team which nation do we hate in sevens oh great question we respect them all yeah but who do you hate all of them okay then let’s yeah let’s if there was a Podium there gold medal who do you respect the most who we respect the most well our our battles with New Zealand have been good work good different way of asking the same question oh so we saying we all hate New Zealand that’s well no they’re saying they hate New Zealand by saying they respect them the most oh okay all right great we didn’t say anything we didn’t say anything they said they hate no they said they respect them the most I they hate them I get it I get it we all hate them um I guess the last thing before we we do a quiz with our guests are you guys Happy can I just ask one thing sorry prop uh wal she back in 2019 that you had the men’s team and I was in Sor Japan and you were asking me potentially to consider coming back for sevens do you that’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever thought about I was hoping you’re going to bring this up actually GS I thought didn’t know whether it be bit touchy or not but um well I didn’t know if you wanted to it brought up because it shows like you’ve got a great career as a coach and this one shows that your little unhinged M we we we’ll never know will we but I’m pretty sure you agreed I it took me an hour and a half and a lot of negotiating with Eddie and uh and a big bank account surprisingly greedy greedy gets wasn’t involved in this one I didn’t even I didn’t even asked for money I was just like right so so what’s the training look like and it was tough some of the stuff I was doing I got some advice because quaade had just come back a little bit before and he was saying oh this is what I did because he did the Vancouver tour I think he played there and he was like this is what I did to help me get prepared uh maybe Vancouver I think true um anyway I started doing as well mate yeah okay Vancouver Vancouver Vancouver um anyway the training the training was horrible then Co came and I was like oh thank you sorry waly I can’t go co GS I reckon you would have added tremendous amount of value both on and off the field and that’s what that that’s what that team needed at the time um and uh yeah without telling you how wonderful you are I think you would have uh had a a tremendous impact on that team and we all know how hard you work um so I think you would have done a great job get off his eggplant all right um on uh on scy diving some players in from outside the squad what are your thoughts around Mark noong toas and maybe a couple of these other sort of 15s players being sort of throw Tool Shed yeah the tool shed yeah potentially The Tool Shed potentially Tim Ryan these guys that sort of been playing uh do you think it’s too late 30 odd days before the Olympics to be giving them a real crap I think it all depends on how confident you are with with the current group I think if you’re leading into a tournament and you’re on on song you’re winning and you had full confidence in that group then it would be a silly thing to do but if you thinking there’s no chance of us meddling then you might as well roll the dice and bring in some athletes and hopefully things fall in line and and you get that you get that win you get that Podium so it all depends on um on the belief in that and and where they’re at with that off the back of that Pax how would you feel as a player that’s been in the sevens program all year and potentially you may miss out on a 15th person that they bring in that may not add the same value how do the actual sevens players feel about that do you think I had a feeling you’re going to ask me that yeah what if Carly to came back and and took your spot um you know it’s definitely hard as a like looking at throughout the squad but like I think we just have to believe in her and like trust that she can do her job and fill in that role that we need and not just look at at his like jealousy and all that I think it it is pretty tough yeah I’d touch on that G it’s like um because I was coaching them man and looked at doing that as well the um it’s like oh they don’t deserve it they haven’t done it it’s well they have like they’ve spent you know what 20 years playing rugby or you know they got 70 wabby Caps or whatever it’s not like they haven’t earned it and it’s you know you want the best of the best playing the game so um I think it’s life like I don’t I didn’t see an issue with it and if you’re making uh performance decisions and putting the best team out there you need the best players and if that’s the best player at the time that fits that group then you do it yes if you’re not as good you get replaced is that that’s kind of correct oh pretty John is this it okay hey are you ready for this quiz it’s an Olympics quiz you guys are about to go to Paris so we’re all playing everybody is playing today ready everybody someone’s not competive have a buzzer I do with my kids at home well no while you help I go around the room I take it in turns for who goes first

many talents don’t I know it um yeah look it’s going to be fantastic um I don’t know I feel like they’re locked in it’s good Timmy’s a a big sort of detail orientated sort of planner uh you know he mentioned I asked him about the next 34 days and he said we’ve been planning two or three years so um yeah I mean even just his reaction to some of the the uh the injuries and and how they planned for it um yeah they dialed in I really wanted to ask and I missed the opportunity four things in life you can’t get back through one the spoken word spoken word the shot arrow shot arrow and missed opportun missed opportunity can’t where have you got that quote from don’t you worry about that son but what was your question yeah exactly right question was what are what’s their theme you know what are they actually buying into that’s a little bit outside the box the Box well not just the box but their their program and you know what they’ve gone through all year in the leadup you know are they using like a like coosco Kobe Bryant thing oh this what like what Czech used to do most coaches do most coaches do yeah maybe it’s the Eiffel town no one no one details that sweet no one’s going to as if W she’s going to tell they’re not going to give it away ask but what if we would have have one guess on what they’re theming what could it be H probably something around gold medal yeah maybe like Parisian baked goods yeah I’d run for that yeah like like Chase the croissant yeah do it for I don’t know how if that doesn’t get buying I’m not here when you had C in the guilis to their huge sucess what sort of things sort of coaching sort of sort of coaching he was just watching tape code did you have themes running I did actually it ran with a little bit of a Kobe Bryant theme given that we’re in LA and you know he passed a couple years before obviously you know pretty powerful uh one of the great halfbacks to ever play May one of the greats yeah good good staying engaged I actually remember that sweet was actually quite good what sweet was massive want is acronyms and it did my lid it was like muum for your man under movement and all this like it just kept going so you’d have to remember the acronym and then what it stood for it’s just go go away well with the bloke you can’t spell that’s why I kind of shorten everything and just put it into an acronym you know like even when I call a few people hey get a mate double AC here cuz I can oh I see that’s where it goes back to back to your name yeah apologies for accusing you of cheating as well into Tom and he assures me you didn’t would never how do we know that they’re not in together like Tom are you in there’s so much trust here isn’t there why are you smiling should be smiling somebody has done something wrong the only thing that he’s done behind the scenes is give his old man’s kit to Drew yeah and how well am I earn it well you’re not living in bloody Cy cdy Beach is it bloody in a $100 million place no certainly not cuz I go for stupid dinners who pays $700 over a $700 voucher I me I’d be keeping it real tight what I would have spent 650 giv the extra 50 vouch all right moving on I respect the effort Jesus 700 bucks yeah but you know what I’m really going to like is when your wives watch it then they expected in a like that yeah [ __ ] there’s one positive yeah 700 points I’m assuming that you put it on card is there any points associated with those no I don’t take advantage of those loo those little benefits for credit cards and anyway let’s move on just yeah it’s hard to get past it what were your Mains worth uh well the lobster bastard you know like oh which is probably the most expensive item on them and you’re paying per Kil you and they cracking when Charlotte was ordering were you going what no those ones or what Des you are a catch he isn’t heuck unbelievable uh hey we better do some rugby I guess it’s written on the paper here um rugby Roundup segment let’s do it don’t know if there’s a sting there I don’t remember a ding ding ding superb rugby it was the final and it came to a close on the weekend and what a barn burner am I allowed to say that yeah you can tell that Blues 41 to 30 the Chiefs 10 obviously there was a man that was on the blues very early B you got on them oh I’m going to say a couple of months out maybe even more I just thought it was last week no mate go back and watch the tape um and obviously you were on them as well go and swoop you said the Chiefs they were morals yep Jam um obviously uh friend of the Pod Caleb Clark hatrick in a final his father also scored a try in the final as well back in the day didn’t score a hatrick though no he didn’t get a hatrick but that’s what happens when you come onto the Pod yeah good things happen good things happen good things having a good people that’s right CB’s a good person now why were they so much better on the day uh they just took their opportunities I think um they just had like a a real intensity about them and I think also part of I don’t know it just looked as though a spiritual leader for them is their leader in in the terms of the captaincy Patrick tootu was ruled out five or six weeks from the semifinal and he’s just wrapped up his knee and gone out and put in and he wasn’t just out there like he was immense like line breaks off the kickoff he was strong and set peace he he just he didn’t want to come off like he was just uh I I think that would have been really quite sort of rallying for the the players around him just just go like if Patrick’s out here rolling himself out because it also potentially would have put his his all black selection and and um you know potential um positioning in that all black side moving forward and into Jeopardy but he just thought no this is this is more important for the time right now and geez he was immense but when you’re there when you’re there it’d be same for you be say you’re in the tar season or Brum season for me or you also at the Reds Force whatever else but you know when you’re in that season you’re committed to that like you’re with that group of boys they’re your brothers you don’t really think about G if I I maybe shouldn’t play the final because I want to play all blacks there’s no guarantee so yeah no absolutely normal yeah but I just thought he was um yeah just the one him being there but also his performance was huge uh you know you know the back row papal Sati and um and airani it was his last game yeah no sorry satu rather uh Hoskin satu akir aani who was playing his last game before you know going over to Japan and then dton paple that that were huge around the breakdown like you you look at that backline right it’s an All-Star backline almost an all black backline and then the conditions come in it’s wet you’re thinking oh is it going to be that kind of game of football that we’re all anticipating it to be you know two of the world’s best Super Rugby teams going at it and then you think what’s what’s going to happen will this suit either side but then you kind of go through the the talent of that backline like you you’ve got AJ lamb who’s an absolute beast at 12 Rico at 13 Tay on edge Caleb on the other Edge and it’s just big big men as an amazing coach of one year you know the way the The Backs come in so they obviously have their set plays where they they launch off scrum line out whatever it is and then all their inside backs or outside backs everyone comes in by the fullback in the 10 for a pick and go and it just seems like they get so much momentum and power from that that’s what I mean like just powerful powerful 15 like that yeah the whole team like I mean both teams were very powerful and hence why they’re in the final but you look at that Blues backline I mean I think that was the the added kind of value in those kind of conditions where BLS were just like you get you get backs kind of picking and driving like putting your hand up and carrying they’re going looking for it but also that Hardline from Caleb Clark off the the uh are youing that yeah just uh so two2 went off the back and just he just hit this hardest like under line got sort of hit and it looked like it end up getting some type of injury in his ribs in the in the like whilst doing it he came up uh came off soon after but you know a big body but the commitment to to um you know to run that type of line and I know I know we’re talking about the all stars of that backline but also like you look at that nine and 10 combination Christi and plumber very yeah plumber I thought he was outstanding oh year right his old man’s a physio you kidding yeah yeah Dad just released the uh doctors today thanks yeah cheers old boy they had a moment after the game was quite special I had a little Embrace after the game and um yeah I mean yeah his old man’s the the physio there veryy good well congrats hit him with a little trigger point probably yeah good on your son really coming in should we um touch on the all wax Squad we will so we’ve got what’s drwing coming up which I love which is around the wabby squad I thought off the back of that you know our Arch Rivals forever All Blacks you’ve had a quick look it’s just been released uh it’s Monday that we’re recording now so maybe you could do the the big names out of that um all right it’s time for my favorite segment oh what is it what’s drwing that’s right what’s drwing um as we just said drew the wabby squad has come out during the week big question is how close were you BLS on your fullway waby starting 15 let’s just drag this in here Tommy while you’re there we go I’m going drag it in so you can see it well we’ve kind of out of the starting 15 we’ve only really missed out on three players so the two locks kenam and Swain both big talking points once the squad has been announced uh and also Tim Ryan uh so Lancaster came in the only three that we didn’t get was uh the two Canam and Swain and also the left Winger and Tim Ryan the Junkyard Dog did not get selected by Joe Schmidt but the debutants Angus ble Charlie kale Alex Hodgman former all black maybe I think it’s only maybe one of maybe the third player to ever play for the All Blacks and potentially also play for the Wes uh Isaac Khia from the rebels Josh nassa son of his father played for um the Wes back in the day and his sister’s in that uh seventh Squad with Timmy Walsh and sah Jeremy Williams Ryan Smith so a couple new locks in this squad and then in the backs uh David F Fu i e I’m really sorry about that I’ve been out of the commentary but uh Josh fluke uh Darby Lancaster Dylan Peach hus Stewart and Tom ler another son of so pretty green squad um but I don’t I don’t mind a few I noticed a few sun hoves yeah a couple of son hoves yeah a lot of sovs well I mean they’re all but son but sonov of a some ones yeah who uh who was responsible for those three misses uh I was two of them stand it there was a lot of chat around the 14 as well the Lancaster bomber yeah which I um I actually kind of contradicted myself cuz I didn’t come in with any prep and I picked Tim Ryan based on just all the hypee but remember then I kind of halfway through tried to get kellway in um that’s right I don’t mind leaving him out like six games seven games or something he’s been really good I don’t mind the idea of just you know getting a bit more experience and uh and and you know not building up because I also said in last week’s pod like we’re the world’s best at just building someone up to shoot them down and and to the detriment of their development so I don’t mind necessarily the uh the Omission but um you know looking at that Squad Wingers we’ve got can we talk about the inclusion as well yeah yeah absolutely KB KB 100 yeah KB 100 so what’s he sitting on 95 and he’d be the first indigenous player ever to reach 100 games yeah so 13 tests this year for the Wes will K be in be in it’s hard to know you know you talk you listen to Joe smid talk about the squad and uh I guess the positive feedback that he’d received and also seen through KB’s games around fraying up Benny Donson who’s a potential starter at 10an uh and just the impact that he had on the the the broader playing grip over the force in terms of how good his coms are um how good his impact and touches were during the game being able to free up not only the I guess The Playmakers in the tile channels but also operating the wildd channel and being able to to release the ball to I guess the talent on the edge so I think look I reckon through that I can see Joe Smith using him in one of those tests oh more more than one yeah I mean look you look at this squad right like you look at the outside backs you’ve got uh kellway uh Lancaster Peach and Tom Wright they’re the four outside backs Tom Wright fullback you you would imagine kellway can back up but if he’ll probably take a position on a wing I think 105 cover on the bench at least would be cly Bill very very good and I mean we take on Wales on the 6th of July so not long and we’ll have our our first International footy which is exciting interestingly though they didn’t announce a captain uh so I think they’re just going to have a bit of time in you know with with the squad as as it’s been well documented Joe Schmid hasn’t had too much time with these players and won’t have a feel for for who it is that has that sort of influence on the squad um but yeah I mean whether he picks one before the first test and sticks with them for the the remainder of the Season or maybe give a couple guys a a crack at it but um yeah that’s that’s still to be determined very very interesting now we were also saying the all black squad has just dropped um you’ve run your eye over it Biv is there any omissions that stand out well the biggest one’s Hoskins tutu the number eight from uh the Oakland blues uh so he’s missed out and Wallace Sati from the Chiefs he’s been named uncapped uh which I’ve just had a quick look at the uh the the All Blacks Twitter account that announced it literally every single reply every message after it is about Hoskins to 22 so he’s been in phenomenal form arguably probably didn’t deserve getting emitted from the the allb squad a couple years ago in the first instance but the form he’s been in really hard to understand why Razer Robinson’s probably you know’s he’s got his reasons but I don’t know if we are aware of those at the moment but I mean if we were to discuss reasons what would it be like it’s hard to is it age or I mean the back rows they got of the back row Ethan blackader Sami Penny finel Luke Jacobson Dalton papal Ari s and Wallace at Titi yeah I I’d say it’s probably just run the balance of the the back row I mean um debut Thomson the squad uh Scott Barrett’s been named the captain and his vice captains are Aris sa and his brother Jordy Barrett um but yeah I mean it’s tough one it’s a strong Squad you know it’s a 22 you received the call from Razer Robinson hey these are the reasons why you’re not in the squad you’d be thinking like he was one of the best players in the Super Rugby competition this year you know yeah yeah and you you looking at that Squad and looking at their squad how much will we win by oh irrelevant one is enough sounds like 50 to me all right um Internationals have begun and uh we are going to keep you up to date and informed right here on the Coco show throughout the international season uh it’s time now for another one of our favorite [Music] segments that’s right Northern Hemisphere Legends jents as I mentioned at the top of the show lots of Rah rad taking place above the equator um swoop we are playing Wales in July and they have just taken on South Africa on the weekend at Twickenham did you run your uh very learned eye over this one briefly perfect it’s all I need no really it was a um it was a very controlled and dominant performance from the box they kind of yeah I mean like even though it was there was a onepoint differential at the half they were very much in control and very much dominant like yeah the spring box I mean over the last couple of years where they de developed their game just such a powerful team you’ve got such big bod bodies being able to play and just move around the park at speed but also I mean the fact that I don’t know how many how many spring box weren’t selected because the balls were taking on Glasgow I’m not too sure because the makeup wasn’t of say the World Cup team that we saw last year in France but with that you seeing guys like Jesse Krill come back into the fold um and perform very very well like that guy’s an absolute Beast cracking first first try um Malcolm marks as well he got injured just uh at the Rugby World Cup he goes straight back into starting yeah he had a great performance I think that’s something like 17 tries in in 63 appearances or something like that um and then you’ve got just the depth of back three like the young kid who had a uh who who who got given an opportunity vurv um I mean like you got yeah a bit of cheese for him too yeah he saw a bit of cheese did he Venom I a fullback I thought it was with the catch and boot in the face little bit of Billy but um but like you talk about the depth of the Box the depth of the back three that the box is producing is like you got mimpi my pimpi chz and Colby ARA ARA like van like there so many vandom mes everywhere I feel like any Vander Merve just put him in a team in team we played with the vandom Merv in at um in La actually dth dth D dth you know what dth stands have a crack let’s let’s just break this down for a little bit dth is it his first three names first three names he introduces himself as dth yeah is one of them D first one’s Daniel yeah second Theo toer h hman i mean talk about being a name I thought I was a bit of a name hog but Daniel Tyler Forman Vander like believe me get away dth that is very six names is too much what I’d say on the spring box I thought I kind of disagree with you a bit SW but I don’t think it was that clinical I thought they started super well and maybe all the hype about um maybe at the bets got more caps than the rest of Wales they played into a bit because the first couple of minutes they got an easy try and it felt like they slipped off a a little bit for the rest of that half although the second half they came out when it needed to be one I agree they were clinical that’s what I’m saying right it wasn’t clinical but they did they put 40 points on the on on the wsh like yeah but you did say clinical did I it it was a throwaway yeah I didn’t say clinical I said controlled no we’ll R the let’s actually can we actually just a little bit of a side here side bet he said I said clinical okay what’s the side bit don’t know I kid he’s so confident that I said clinical no you’re the man what about this whoever wins gets the green suit that gets his wearing fantastic he’s actually got to send it I know you express po over to here and I’ll wear it next post next can’t do it I’ll take you into Ralph Lauren and I’ll buy you one well I won’t need to Fantastic we all got that perfect no really it was a um it was a very controlled and dominant performance from the box the only other question out of that obviously lots of turnover in the Welsh Squad and that’s the one that we’re going to be playing very soon bit of turmoil in their squad one player left the squad cuz he felt disrespected he uh he thought he was there under the pretense that he was part of the squad but he was apparently just there to help them prepare and so he just went thanks very much but I’m out I think it was Sam Parry uh so I don’t I’m not big on that like if you’re part of the squad you know when you go on the tour you’re not guaranteed that you’re going to get a game yeah I don’t know if it was know yeah cuz they haven’t G on tour yet I think he was just there to hold pads like he was never actually going to go on the tour down here to Australia he was just that’s sort of how I read it in the article I read that he thought he was part of the touring Squad but it turns out he was just he got less kit he got less everything and he was just not part of the actual touring Squad he was just there oh yeah okay to prepare them for the week included just a bit of miscommunication from Gatlin but there’s a there’s a fair bit going on with this W Squad um the takeaway I got from it is we’re going to Schmid it in that I like that I know you don’t like that chat I don’t know I reckon that’s a it’s a young Squad who’s willing to have a oh shut up swo mate these days you can say whatever you want and then somebody says did you say that and you had that I didn’t say that I said also about 10 contradicting things as well all right let’s move on um Eddie Jones apparently he got the Japanese job I’m reading here um which is exciting for Eddie uh they took on actually yeah England you’re going off that score line I think he did uh England 52 defeated Japan 17 um bit of interesting stuff in the leading you yeah he said was he had a feeling it was going to be a tight one yeah I mean it was at half time mhm uh but there was another 40 minutes where the English were just absolutely dominant uh Marcus Smith at number 10 just sort of pulling the strings um yeah look England uh they look pretty sharp to be fair they look strong little afternoon footy over there in uh in Tokyo you know there’s all this chat about making the English sweat and it’s going to be hot and whatever but you know they’ve really um come to their own in the second half go there’s this new fast style of football they’re talking about from the Japanese chuku I hope I’m saying that correctly and we saw it for the first seven minutes um but obviously they came up 73 minutes short with chuku is there is there any um any hope for this style of play that Eddie’s brought in oh look there’s always I mean I’ve been coached by him for you know a long time so there’s always you want to respect that there’s method in his Madness I thought the first seven minutes yet when they had the ball it was great they play Up Tempo sco the nine he was as quick as anyone getting to the Ball moving it and England did look like maybe they had probably too many beers earlier in the week they looked a little bit off Pace but as soon as they got the ball you could see their dominance it was always like it seemed a little bit men vers Boys Like The Way They Carried uh the way they could hit rocks even Ms when they needed to to tighten the game up and just turn it into into a proper test match I thought they did that really well now a couple of you guys played in Japan you know how good the trophies are there we saw a photo of you earlier with Godzilla yeah with Godzilla well this was um an especially nice trophy if we bring this one up it’s a giant Med is it a medicine bottle Tommy or is it what is that is that like cough syrup um so jand that brand is phenomenal for a hangover oh here we go is that what it is yes you’re supposed to have that one you buy two of them I don’t know if it’s that one or maybe that brand the writing looks very familiar um but you you buy a pre and a post Georgie Smith was the one that told me about it lots of ginger in there so it was amazing I’ve once receiv received for a man of the match um 100 kilos of rice I thought you got 100 kilos of broccoli broccoli that’s fine R is great yeah got thei got the broccoli excuse me Jamie George big smile on his face if you do if you do get a chance to go on to YouTube and watch the actual whether the guy hands over the bottle because Jamie George could you imagine if that’s a a medication that you like and you feel like you get a good reward from imagine having that size filled with pills is is it is there stuff in it can we Jamie George no no no that would be empty doesn’t but think about it like imagine if he knocks that off he’s not he’s for a year ah he’s dead right you’ll be immune um hey brand new segment oh God I love a brand new segment on this show it’s time now for Holiday swoops hot spots and what we’re asking holiday swoop because as we’ve all spent time with holiday swoop when he’s away a place Tokyo swoop that you spend a lot of time in obviously England took on Japan in Tokyo I want you to give our viewers just a little bit of an itinery what they should do put little itinerary for everyone yeah find yourself in Tokyo Hugo can we get some sort of Carnaval music to on to this when we cut this thank you mate let’s go oh and a cool sting let’s do the sting [Music] now right so am I on yeah I’m on SO the intro is happened and so the artillery is so basically wherever you stay could be anywhere I just think you kind of kick off with a couple of beverages at the hotel bar or wherever you are and the first point of call and I I think it’s very important when you get to Japan you you experience a bit of iaya now Izaya is Japanese for stay drink place and everything in Japan is backwards so basically it’s a place to drink and stay settle in and there’s no other better players for I Kaya than gachi in nishia zuba which is now remember has everyone in Kill Bill yeah it’s a Kill Bill restaurant oh oh yeah [ __ ] yeah drother th yeah um oh sorry drumer got you yeah I mean everyone’s a Kill Bill fan right and so basically that’s where they shot the I or isi she’s fighting remember that’s right you know when they’re jumping off the what’s that restaurant that’s wow it’s a Kill Bill restaurant yeah so bit easy K settle in there for a couple and then head back to rongi nothing good happens in rongi so get there as quickly as you can all right and there’s a place there that favorite of mine is a is AA favorite of mine called jonos this little box of a bar it’s probably like not half the size of this room uh fantastic for a couple and then if you’re still standing which I guess if you’re the swo of course you are you had to head to one Oak one o one Oak now gets one Oak nightclub yeah Great establish you going to need your credit card there son yeah luy with us yeah I got stung hard there at the 2019 World Cup go 7K yeah really yeah you got a problem I know where was that um sweet where was that joint in a m Su we went to after I lapped You by 40 and I said that obviously wasn’t the final cuz we put 50 on you so what game was that yeah remember you were there you talking it up and then we fogged you we chopped you down and scored a couple of tries can’t remember cuz every time I’ve going to Tokyo I’ve won so it’s just can’t remember it put time selected anyway could have been jonos it no definitely was gonos that little wood bar anyway there you go you got Kachi gonos one o is that were you finishing your night at one o or is it a little something what about Golden Guy golden gee or golden guy those little that little um is that the one with the curtains no no no all right I’ve never been there no it’s it’s like it’s a pace with all these small little um little bars like go in there little Goa drink like no not been there oh yeah yeah yeah I’ve been those ones yeah yeah yeah yeah you you along those little bars at one street but it’s only a certain time of year I think it’s only a certain time of year very is that very good is there is there a joint you’re not telling us put it in writing if anyone needs it yeah perfect that’s great we’ll do the itinery here you go very good uh and you can throw to your own sting here mate that’s do you remember what it’s called Uh holiday swoops hot spots hotpots get there it’s all we gotz yeah they say don’t work with animals or kids or or swo swo uh barbarians 45 they defeated Fiji 32 yeah was the last game for all black Legends Sam white loock he signed off from rugby an amazing amazing um character over the years an amazing Rugby Union player um it was an underst strength FG be yeah but it was always the type of game that uh that suits both teams really I mean both teams are encouraged to just run the ball and uh you know play that sort of high sort of attacking entertaining type of footy um The Barbarians would have gone into it pretty um under under the weather you could probably assume uh just that that’s just the the tradition of the nature of a barbarians week but what I like is when you get in there you you see some genuine creativity like there’s a setpiece play moving Parts moving plays out the back and it it actually opens up defense because I think what we’re starting to see in rugby quite a lot is people U teams just basically getting through a first phase just to get to the second or get to the right parts of the area of the field to then do second phase or third whereas going of the days really where every set piece is a strike play and uh that’s what I like about The Barbarians I really you know encourage that creativity and things that you wouldn’t normally see in in an international match but um afternoon footy at twickham PCT house how good did it take your back go to the days of you run around for the barbars mate oh that those were the days yeah um it was a tough week but the weekend when once you won it would almost like doubled your week somehow you know you’re able to get a victory I often room with Drew when we’re with the barar but touching on what Drew was talking about with those special plays I agree it feels like a lot of teams nowadays you’re looking at reasons why a play won’t work um or why the defense will shut you down whereas when you go into a barbarians week you make up the most not ridiculous plays but you can get as creative as you want with so many great players um and of more often or not it works because everyone buys into that play So yeah I thought both teams played in the right Spirit um it was a proper barbar’s game it wasn’t a test match um it it was a really good exhibition game I thought it was great there you go great to see some running rugby up there in uh in the mighty North speaking of the mighty North the URC final result let me put my little hat on here it’s fulling off the back of my chair is it y tell can you reach it um gge The Warriors they got it done they defeated the Bulls how happy how happy are you I’m pretty happy how happy is the old man well jumped on the zoom last night we do a regular Sunday night chatting to the glaswegian grandparents and I said I said congrats he said what about didn’t have a clue they just we’re about to play hungry in the soccer did n give a [ __ ] about GL gear Warriors is and Scot got done in the Euros as well Scotland got done one 10 minutes in extra time in the 100th minute so needless to say uh yeah big celebrations in that household um but we all sat here last week and we said can it happen can they get it done and Miracle I’ve got you Biv yeah um they won it back in 2015 um but yeah packed LOF to ver versfeld and the balls got out to a 130 lead yeah the Mighty Warriors hung on yeah they did it tough too in terms of the running into the finals winning away um and doing it over there in uh in in South Africa look a couple Aussie boys playing there as well I mean well former Aussie boys um Jack Dempsey T Patu he’s just been in outstanding form and some are saying that he’s an absolute lock for the number 12 position for the Lions next year when they come down here and play the Wes so uh look well done for for for that team um I don’t know I didn’t see it coming Glasgow you yeah who’d you back I I back the Bulls yeah I was wrong I’m sorry Prof ask ask me who did you back swoop glasgo did you got that one right ask me Prof yeah go who’s you back go is that true can anybody is that true no I actually remember remember no remember I I I went off I end up watching the Pod saw what happened when I left and you guys [ __ ] canned me about M ordering me around we wouldn’t do that he watched it well I I didn’t think you would and then I watched it so you did so when you’re anyway so I missed that but who I would have tipped was Glasgow who won so when you’re not on for that bit but you’re watching us back are you still then when you’re watching it engaging in the conversation like you’re on the Pod no no no no I’m not I’m more um well this was a a rare occurrence usually I’m fully invested in it so then watching it I was just betrayed and shocked probably the two emotions very good congrats to glaz gate I I do have to say they went down to 14 players at the very end there and for them to hold back that last push from the Bulls was pretty amazing um they they held the ball up and um jeez in the celebrations could you imagine that night man that’s a tough place to play yeah but it’s also a shocking place to party anywhere there what’s worse playing or partying there oh the fly ‘s pretty good though couple Judo shops was that from there was it yeah oh jber very good let’s roll on top 14 semi finals results you boys uh all played there as well to lose 39 they defeated lell 23 go did you run your eye over this one over which one sorry to lose L relle uh I noticed I didn’t run my eye over it uh purely because I was in game mode I was playing but I saw that there were two uh yellow cards for or even red cards maybe for lelle so a headbut I mean too yeah but you look at too even from their the the heik and the Champions Cup stages like they’re they’re big team players they’ve got some great fire throughout the the squad um lell traditionally have been pretty good in the top 14 um and they’re still good obviously to make a semi-final I don’t think they’ve got enough fire to go into next week against the UB toose will absolutely [ __ ] it in Let’s test Let’s test swoops like how loyal is Let’s test his loyalty we can all go to loose and if ubb man I’m happy to get on a flight to Mar tomorrow to support the boys in the top 14 final are we paying for no I’m not going if you don’t bordo 22 theame St France say 20 did you say you won’t make it to the game no you get there I’ve seen what you’re like in Mars um swoop you would have watched this you would have with all your old teammates got on the zoom call absolutely pumped like pumped for the boys like they the last three years they’ve bowed out in the semi-finals in the top 14 so this is the first time in history that bordo beg have gone through to the top car tours final first time first time losers so disrespectful M sorry mate was that my external voice paror um yeah I mean honestly like I was actually considering it last night I’d love to be there you not playing a semi-final swe like when you were there like you were there for a couple years big signing you didn’t play no I didn’t play man thanks jeez really no remember we sent our B team to play B very much part of that growth phase of ubb you know like they’ve just come out of pro d I was just helping the boys that’s right because the owner the owner said you were great remember the newspaper article you read when you’re like I might resign here um and you got the newspaper you want to talk about that one yeah can’t remember that one but um the boys are yeah look it was a great final I mean it was at mattm Atlantic which is the the biggest stadium there in borau Full House obviously and they did it I mean probably not in I mean they they were controlling the whole match you know they were I mean they performed well but it came down to one of those moments where the St France had a the kicker had a had a chance to kind of tie the match to go to 22 all I think it was and then um they obviously missed it from the sideline which allowed bordo to progress but the end of the day they they’re going through to the big dance and they’ve got a crack to to claim their first top 14 final well let still boys to lose Samu as well we’ got a lot of Aussies there too ademan uh am I missing anyone I’m not sure there could be another couple but yeah there’s a few others all right hey well let’s just pick who’s going to win that uh fin too easy too absolute caner go a caner is an understatement to loose to loose no I can’t say that because I do love all the Aussie boys that are playing for ubb and there’s also the the eight there I played with him at santor so theu yeah it’s a tough there’s there’s a part of me that would love to see um ubb win but I don’t want swoop to win is that possible yeah you’re torn what do you you know what who do you dislike is it your dislike for swoop is that more owering than my dislike for swoo yes it’s you know what it is it’s a standard Australian culture T poppy soon as someone starts winning and I’ve w a poppy we’re picking the absolute favorite I’ve w a fair bit over the last couple of PODS right and and obviously the you’re you’re a weed son you’re no T poy anyway so look they just want to bring me down doing pretty well all right so you’re going Bordeaux uh hug go bordeau or to lose to lose to lose hug go and Tommy I’m well I better go bordo as well just so it’s uh two and two here we’ll see

Petition to get Nick Cummins on
👇🏾
Please get Eddie to come on and sign his leadership book
Hope the girls do well at the Olympics! Great show again 😂
I reckon Gits was being passive aggressive with Swoops all pod. So funny 😆
Mr Mitchell brings to mind one of my favourite desserts, tarte au citron: a pastry shell with a lemon flavored filling – and thanks for the laughs.
Nice getting to know the womens sevens coach and player. Great poddy guys. smashing it!!!
Prof currently in defense mode..
Appreciate the guests! Rugby 7s was what got me initiated into the sport and now I'm an avid union fan. I can't wait for the Olympics.
Thanks for filling up the fridge.🍺 Thought we wouldn't notice, but we did. 😂
Comment
Are the lads going to be doing a live show for the Bledisloe in Sydney as well?
1:05:06 how does Hodgmen get in the squad if his played for abs? His also played for Fiji u20s according to his wiki page. Did the eligibility rules get changed?
Sariah 🇵🇰
hey drew, where would you wear those zesty pants? the sex offenders register.
This episode was mad hilarious!!!!! Swoop killed it during the quiz. Absolute champ!! Awesome content!!! Love the Polos!!! Im going out to get me some!! Summer vibes!!
Is the Cat going to Piss on Drew’s bed again in France 🎉
Swoop "is that the one with the curtains" 🤣🤣Awesome Podi!!
Are they that tight on time? (I understand Gits is limited) But can they not just use editing and film the segments separately? The current version feels like prof has to rush them and we as listeners are missing out on good stuff. Love the pod
Best part of my week

In case it’s not been mentioned, the “pre-hangover cure” is Ukon no Chikara- a tumeric based drink in a deep gold small metal bottle. The liptovitan D is what is affectionately known as a “brain grenade” to help with physical and mental fatigue.
Now I know why the Prof normally wears a cap or beanie 😂. Great work as always boys !
Our Hong Kong team toured to Japan and were sponsored by geronimo's as we played the Tokyo Crusaders.. A cracking spot for a rugby tour.
Even the audience is convinced the fix was in for Swoop…he’s usually good for no more than 2 for 5.
As a Springbok fan and fan of the competitiveness between the ex-Wallabies boys, Swoop definitely said "a controlled performance". I do agree with Gits that it wasn't clinical and hopefully that changes with the big guns back to face Ireland at Loftus next weekend. Gits better send that durable as heck Polo Ralph Lauren suit so it arrives in Sydney in time for the next KOKO show. Good luck getting into that though Swoop and keep smashing those quizzes mate.
😂 poor swoop
Best rugby pod out there worldwide by a country mile but throughout seems to be beef between Gits and Swoop or is that just their schtick – @prof can we get clarification? Swoop is a bit lazy in terms of contribution so get that Gits gets frustrated but it appears always down to Drew to play peacemaker… love you all
Boys I bloody love the show!!!!!
I'd love to see Wendell Sailor get on the podcast with you fellas! He was on Bloke in a Bar and the Beak barely got a word in.
He was so passionate and funny!!! I think he would be an amazing guest!!
Thank you for another amazing show!
Here after the top14 "canter". Great show as always but have to say whatever marketing guru didn't give a discount code from the start deserves the title marketing guru
