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 of 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 Pont

Ardi severe 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 ready go

Hello and welcome to this it is the egg chaser's rugby podcast the podcast about rugby didn't take itself or the game too

Seriously, but we will be taking it very seriously today because this is not a World Cup podcast

This is well something that we do when no one else does really which is when the World Cup is going on

Hello Phil, how are you? Hello, JB. I am I

I'm actually very very tired. I feel a little bit spaced out. Yeah, I feel exactly. I am really struggling right now

But it's important the important that we do this. Well, you're struggling because you've trained twice today

I have trained twice and I've worked and I'm struggling because I've also trained twice

Including doing a flat out mile. I tell you why this evening rather than my sessions and your sessions

That is brutal. The flower mile was hard. I've done that truck session. It is horrible hard going

But other than that, I feel okay, but someone who has not trained twice today, but is no doubt

Exhausted from his overindulgence over the weekend in a shipping container
