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. Hosted on Acast.

You have begged and pleaded for this man to return and KOKO has delivered. Coming in and running a juicy unders line from the outside channel is a man that goes by many names and has just as many different personalities. He has been called Snorkatron, Snorklebeanie, Captain Insano and of course the Porn Master. This Linfield legend lives off a steady diet of reminiscing about his 2003 SF intercept, making the tech world his bitch and forcing people to tell him that his lisp even as an adult is still really cute. So please put your hands together for Stirling Austin Mortlock! With Stirlo in tow the lads get down to business throwing questions at the Oracle in a segment we call ‘Snork Talk’, they chat about the current Wallabies set up and they shine a light on what actually happened when Morty called a Code Red on Swoop. Plus, we chat about round 9 of the Superb Rugby and we play a new little game called ‘Green and Goldylocks’. Finally, we reintroduce old friend NordVPN back on the show as a sponsor, as well as the lads get giddy about the news that they are heading to Super Round in Christchurch in only a couple of weeks. Plus, we let Swoop run a muck inside his Temu cupboard and boy, let's just say he is giving main character vibes. So sit back, relax and let the innate beauty of Snorkatron fill your every orifice, it has been worth the wait. It is time for an all new episode of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.       TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Start of the show  02:34 - Stirling Mortlock surprise  03:41 - Nord VPN Sponsor read  05:55 - Stirling as a dad  08:18 - The famous code red on Swoop at the Brumbies  16:35 - Snork Talk Segment Begins  18:40 - Stirling as a cap…","meta_description":"This week on the KOKO Show your prayers have been answered!
