Pied, pied, pied, pied, pied, rugby pied.

Hello and welcome long to this week's rugby pied and we've got a huge announcement to start the show.

As you know, Guinness has been good friends of the pod over the last couple of seasons and this season

they're going to be our headline partner. We'll be coming to each week in proud partnership with

Guinness and we're running competitions, ticket giveaways and organizing events throughout the season

and lots more to come to keep an eye on social media, a bit of big thanks to Guinness

and we're looking forward to a massive season made of more.

Nice indie road, I see what you've done there, made of more, get it? Nice Guinness is tagline.

And they're also supporting us this week for our first live show of the season. It's at O'Neill's

and Soho on Thursday. There's still a few tickets left to get onto eventbrite.co.uk

if you fancy coming along to that and you might get your hands on one of the last ones.

Have you guys been anyway? You been well?

More importantly, it's good to have you back. Thanks guys.

I've had to referee this idea here against the other idiot Joe Marlar.

That was tough mate. It was tough. We got to number one Andy Road.

Did you? What do you mean did we? You know.

You know. Without Andy Road, we were number one.

And you timed it well because we haven't been able to speak about New Zealand getting

a hose by South Africa. I know. He doesn't want to talk about it at all, does he?

Not really. What have you guys been up to?

What have you been up to Jim? What have you been up to Jim? What have I been up to?

What have you been doing? I've had a busyish weekend.
