Hello, Egg Chasers. It's the Egg Chasers rugby podcast. The podcast about rugby that doesn't take itself all the game too seriously. I was about to say just out of sheer habit here in the rugby dungeon, but we're not we're all in our independent TMO shipping containers mine in.

South Manchester suburb of Chalton Phil's in the slightly leafier slightly more suburban suburb of sale. How you doing Phil? Hello Tim. I'm very good. Thank you.

It's a bit surprised that we're not in person this week. Yeah. Out of the blue. Out of the blue JB. Well, we both saw JB yesterday and he didn't mention anything about it at 4 a.m. this morning. He was heading to Manchester airport to fly to France to go skiing for the week.

I mean, it's quite possible that he arranged that between 10 o'clock last night and 4 o'clock this morning. It's quite possible that he arranged that ski trip and all the logistics that went along with it. But that is, that's Pete JB right there. I can see just looking at it that JB has just read finally read the message with all the information for this meeting. So I think we're going to be joined by him imminently.

So I will just say at this point, we think there might be two podcasts. One that is international rugby focused on the six nations, which JB wants no part of or else if JB imminently joins us, this will be all matters domestic and speaker the devil should we should we let him in? Let's go.

Hello, gentlemen. Hello, JB. You're right. I'm all right. I'm going to speak to some. Let's see if I can get that off. Where is your ex-Jace's TMO shipping container, JB set a scene.

So my shipping container was delivered today to what budget to to La Rosia, one of the club med results. I've been traveling for 12 hours. I woke up at 4 a.m. to pack my bag.

I had nothing got in at 1 a.m. last night, packed at 4 a.m. And it has been a June, the only time I've been more miserable traveling was when I went on a trip South Africa, and I think we traveled to a site.

30 hours. So that was by far the worst to the hours of my life. This was the second worst.

But at least you got to now you're with your wonderful wife and children and you get to enjoy. What is it? Where is La Rosia? I don't know this place.

It's on a mountain in France, literally nothing about it. I just told show up. This is what my mum loves to do. She loves to get the family together.

So it's very much for my mum's benefit as much as anyone else is and there's 19 others here.

On Mother's Day as well. What a wonderful thing.

Just looking on a map, you are the east border of France, France and Italy, not a million miles away from Switzerland as well.

Your closest rugby towns, Leon Grenoble.

Grenoble, are we fluent in? And yeah, you are quite a long way from anywhere further south.

There was three hours away to give you in France's message, isn't it? It's three hours away.

So we flew into Grenoble and the only rugby player that my dad really knows back on the day is Dean Richards.

So we have some a named Dean Richards chat.

Do you know what JB? Obviously, we've already explained that this is one of two podcasts and you want no part of the international rugby.

I am fascinated for people to know, but I know I know obviously Phil knows what happened.

I'm fascinated for to hear how you will explain and talk about what has happened this week.
