Episode Description from the Publisher

This week on the KOKO show we are joined by our favourite bodacious baddie, the king of the piggies and the loosest loose-head in the business Mr Angus Stephen Bell. With Belly riding up front the lads broke down how the Wallabies turned their international season around by folding the Italians like a couple of calzones. He also spoke on how the Wallabies farewelled Joe Schmidt in style and what this means for their confidence for the remainder of the year. Belly also talked about his time in Ulster pretending to be a number 10, how the Irish way of life is similar to Australia and how his time in the Emerald Isle has shaped his game for this international run. The boys also do a full Rugby Roundup Segment thanks to Active Ops, to put a juicy little bow on the midway point of the Nations Championship, plus the lads also preview the next big international fixtures that are coming up soon for the men in gold and we spend a little time to wax lyrical about Joe Schmidt’s time in charge of the Wallabies. Plus, the lads hand hat-trick hero Josh Canham the Cape Mentelle ‘Uncompromising Character of the Week Award’ for his heroic efforts against the Italians, a performance so good that WADA had to drug test him at full-time. We also got stuck into a little reflection on the week that was in sport, with our fan favourite segment ‘How Good is Sport?’ brought to you by TCL. So sit back, relax and raise a glass to the great Joe Schmidt and Laurie Fisher for all they have done in Australian Rugby. With pride in our hearts and gratitude in our loins, it is now time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons. Les GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
