| 0:00.0 | Hey there, welcome to part two of the socially distant sports bar for this week. |
| 0:07.5 | If you've not listened to Part 1, please go back and listen to it. |
| 0:11.2 | If you listen every week and you go, oh, it's so annoying that part 1 and part 2 are disconnected |
| 0:17.3 | and I have to wait from a Wednesday to a Friday to listen to those parts, |
| 0:23.3 | then you need to go to patreon.com slash distant pod because we've stuck them together. |
| 0:27.8 | And off the back of the documentary, you get another round of clips over there and then you get |
| 0:33.0 | the book. It's kind of like part three, if you like. So whenever you look in the episode description, you go, I never hear those clips. Where do they live? They live over at patreon.com slash distant pod. It'd be great if you can support us. If you can afford four pound a month plus VAT, then it would be lovely if you could help us fund this podcast.

| 2:06.6 | Wow, look at this. |
| 2:08.6 | I remember coming out of the tunnel and just looking around and it felt like there were 10,000 people in the stands. |
| 2:14.6 | Honestly, it was the biggest crowd we had ever played in front of. |
| 2:22.3 | And I remember people sitting on their balcony, hanging out their windows, |
| 2:23.8 | you know, really taking in the game. |
| 2:25.8 | I can remember being in the stands, and it was the first time I had to be aware of going, yay, with a newborn in your arms. |
| 2:32.1 | I remember handing my daughter for five months over to Stephen Jones, the rugby journalist, |
