THE WALLABIES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT CRASHING BACK TO EARTH!

After all the hype, hope and belief that this could finally be Australia's year, the All Blacks delivered a brutal reality check at Eden Park in Bledisloe 1. The Wallabies were blown off the park, and now the big question is whether they can pick themselves up, dust themselves off and bounce back in Sydney for Bledisloe 2.

The KOKO Show is back for Episode 34 as Gits, Drew, Swoop and Prof dissect the Eden Park demolition, uncover where it all went wrong for the Wallabies and debate what needs to change if Australia is any chance of turning the tables on the All Blacks in Sydney.

We're also joined by former All Black Brad Weber, who gives us the Kiwi perspective on the Eden Park smash job, reveals what New Zealand really thinks of this Wallabies side and shares his predictions for the second Bledisloe showdown.

The boys crown Jordie Barrett this week's Cape Mentelle Uncompromising Character, while the All Blacks' ruthless ability to turn pressure into points from anywhere on the park earns the Santos Energy Where It Matters Moment of the Week.

PLUS, thanks to Rugby World Cup Experiences, we tackle one of rugby's biggest debates: Is Australia v New Zealand REALLY rugby's greatest rivalry? Or has a quarter-century of All Blacks dominance taken the shine off one of the game's most iconic contests?

And the KOKO family is getting BIGGER! We're absolutely stoked to welcome Hahn and Pillar Performance as brand-new sponsors of the show. Two cracking brands joining the KOKO madness — welcome to the family, legends!

Plenty of rugby, plenty of arguments and absolutely no shortage of Kiwi smugness.

It's all happening on Episode 34 of The KOKO Show!

LET'S GET INTO IT!

24 YEARS OF PAIN. ONE MASSIVE CHANCE TO END IT.

The Wallabies haven’t lifted the Bledisloe Cup since 2002. They haven’t beaten the All Blacks at Eden Park since 1986. But after knocking off the back-to-back World Champion Springboks, could THIS finally be the Wallabies side that rewrites history?

The KOKO Show is back for Episode 33 with the ultimate Bledisloe Cup preview. Gits, Drew, Swoop and Prof break down the Wallabies’ chances, the Eden Park hoodoo, where the All Blacks can be beaten and whether Australia can finally bring the Bledisloe Cup home after 24 long years.

The boys also take a walk down memory lane, revisiting some of the greatest Bledisloe performances of years gone by to crown this week’s Cape Mentelle Uncompromising Character.

Back home, the Western Force are Super Rugby AUS Champions after taking down the Waratahs in the Final. The boys unpack the decider, while the Force’s BIG THREE — Kurtley Beale, Nick Dolly and Dylan Pietsch — earn the Santos Energy Where It Matters Moment of the Week after huge performances when it mattered most.

Then things get loose with Prof’s Big Rugby Questions, before another edition of KOKO’s Audiobook Club thanks to Audible.

And finally, it’s time for THE FINALS BRACKETOLOGY thanks to Rugby World Cup Experiences. The boys work their way through the potential 2027 Rugby World Cup knockout stages and, through a completely unbiased and highly scientific process, officially crown the WALLABIES 2027 RUGBY WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS!

BLEDISLOE. EDEN PARK. 24 YEARS OF PAIN.

IS THIS FINALLY THE YEAR?

Enjoy the show, you absolute legends!
