Rugby Sevens is back, and this year, Ovolo is taking things to the next level. After an unforgettable Sevens takeover last year, Australian Wallaby rugby legends.
Drew Mitchell and Adam Ashley-Cooper are making their triumphant return to Southside By Ovolo, this time with fellow Wallaby great Matt Giteau joining the lineup and the team behind Kick Offs and Kick Ons (KOKO), one of the world’s best rugby podcasts.
For one night only, Kick Offs and Kick Ons (KOKO) will be taking over Southside By Ovolo for an exclusive Rugby Sevens meet & greet party. On Thursday, March 27, 2025, from 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM, join James Rochford (AKA "The Professor") and the KOKO Wallaby legends for an epic pre-seven’s evening.
With 250+ international caps, Rugby World Cup appearances, and titles across Super Rugby and Top 14, they’ve dominated the world stage. Mitchell is Australia’s top World Cup try- scorer, Ashley-Cooper a 121-cap fan favourite, and Giteau’s overseas success even inspired "Giteau’s Law" Now media personalities and rugby storytellers, these legends bring unmatched insight, epic banter, and unforgettable moments, both on and off the field.
Expect an unfiltered evening of rugby banter, wild stories, pre-game hype, and plenty of laughs as the Wallabies relive their greatest moments and break down all the Sevens action over drinks with fans. Whether you’re here for the tries, the tackles, or just the electric atmosphere, this is your chance to talk rugby, share a drink, and kick off the weekend in true Sevens style.
Additionally, not only is there a chance to meet the Wallaby legends face to face, but with the Southside By Ovolo x KOKO Experience, guests who book direct at ovolohotels.com between February 14 to March 30, 2025, for stays between March 26 - April 2, 2025, will be able to stay under the same roof as these rugby icons.
