This episode is in partnership with green king IPA who've been championing grassroots sports clubs through their proud to pitch in initiative now

We like to think of this podcast as you pulling up a stool at our table in your local rugby club

And just chatting about the sport we love and during the rugby World Cup

I hope that's exactly where you go to a club or a pub near you that's serving green king IPA because since

2021 tempi from every pint at participating pubs and 50 p from every promotional pack goes directly to grassroots sports

And grassroots sports clubs well, they can apply for funding up to £4,000 to help with their rising costs and recently

This initiative passed £500,000 in grants given away. So while you're watching Antoine de Pond

Ardi Sevier, Malcolm Marks tearing it up in France at the World Cup

You can also do your bit for your local team and for the volunteers who keep grassroots sports going and all you have to do is

Enjoy a refreshing hoppy ale and raise a glass of green king IPA right on with the pod

Hello and welcome to this it is the egg chases rugby podcast the podcast about rugby that doesn't take itself all the game too

Seriously, here we are with sober Phil. Hello, sober Phil. So but today I say sober. What is it like half ten you must have had your first

I'm now dry since we went for a couple of days on Thursday night

Well, yes, we didn't we can't say who with because we can't compromise this information. Yes, we are a wonderful time. It was very nice. Very good watching

Had the France Namibia game, which we probably won't go into too much detail on later, but we'd love a time

So I'm I'm sober since Thursday night. Well done, mate. Well, thank you. I'm sober on Thursday night. You were

Very, very disciplined. I felt like it was false advertising because you set up a group with the two of us and our

Unnamed mystery individual. Yep. And the group was titled Beers and I arrived and two of us were having

Beers and you were drinking sparkling water. I don't mind drinking sparkling water. I don't mind drinking sparkling water,

But it's not as advertised. Yes, precisely. Yes. Okay, fair enough. Well, I tell you who I think is probably a bit drunk right now.

Well, maybe one Tim Kocker, maybe maybe any any Irish man, woman or child in France or in Ireland. Yeah, and maybe

Maybe quite a few. But he might have been drinking preemptively for their win and then have a few more to drive the sorrows.
