This week on the KOKO Show we are joined by a code hopping hooligan, he is one of the greatest to ever play on the wing in either code. This Fijian born flyer has a penchant for a good nap, carving up the dance floor to Usher and spear tackling Richie McCaw in a Test Match. So please put your hands together for the Sunny Bank sensation, a man who went bang at the Broncos and then titillated at the Tahs, he was alway the smoothest on the park and that's why they call him the Shark. It is the one and only Mr Lote Tuqiri.

Plus, with this past week being a fallow weekend for footy, we turned our attention to bigging up the Wallabies trip to Argentina and the clash of the titans in South Africa when the All Blacks try to play spoiler against the Springboks. On top of all of that we take a little peek at the grassroots level as we preview the Shute Shield Final between Eastern Suburbs and Northern Suburbs in the NSW domestic competition.

Lastly, but certainly not leastly we pay homage to the beautiful people at MYER, as we celebrate all the ‘Daddys’ out there with a little appreciation and exploration of ‘Spring Newness’. So strip off your layers as the sun reemerges from the chains of Winter, get out your antihistamines as Spring readies to fuck up your sinuses and just enjoy the dulcet tones of the KOKO Crew. It is time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
