Joe van Niekerk leads us in a guided meditation of enlightenment and all things Rugby Championship.

This week on The KOKO Show we take you on a necessary journey of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. We are joined this week by a man that consistently played footy at the highest level and then after retirement decided to live at an even higher one. He has played 52 caps for the Springboks and he was the ‘legend face’ of Toulon Rugby, a man that draws you in with his warmth and unwavering energy, it is of course the father of flow and the patron of ‘pura vida’, Mr Joe van Niekerk. In this week’s episode the KOKO Crew get taken in a slightly different direction, we delve into the trials and tribulations of life after footy and what it means to find your ‘self’ post retirement.

With all that being said we still found time to dish you up a “succulent Chinese meal” of TRC content as we break down the Wallabies second defeat at the hands of the Green Machine in Perthfotein. Plus, we have a little gander at how the All Blacks took Los Pumas to the Garden of Eden and showed them how the big boys play. On top of all this yummy podtent, MYER is back in the fold presenting you with another deliciously fashionable instalment of ‘Match Fit’ and our dear friends at MANSCAPED AU allowed swoop to go hammer and tong at Biv’s bits.

So find your flow, open up your mind's eye and let this white light podcasting excellence fill your every orifice. This week we are aligning your chakras, whilst derailing everything else. It’s time for Kick Offs and Kick Ons.
