| 0:00.0 | Hello Dreamteam, welcome along to How Rugby Made Me, bought you by British Airways, my name is Alex Payne, |
| 0:09.3 | and today we're in North London, where I've come to find an old 2003 teammate of Tins. |
| 0:14.8 | 20 years on, this man has a 20-year-old son, who is now following in his footsteps |
| 0:19.5 | in that famous England No. 9 jersey. And today we're at Barn at Elizabethans, |
| 0:23.7 | which is the club where Kiran Bracken first introduced his son Charlie to the game of Rugby. |
| 0:28.5 | Charlie is now in the senior Sarasun squad. He's an England under 20's player, |
| 0:32.1 | and Rugby is very much in the family's blood. Literally for Charlie, one of the first things he ever |

| 1:29.2 | highs and lows of rugby all start kind of down here, but yeah, it's been a very special place for me. |
| 1:34.2 | He's better than you at the media. I don't know about that. No, listen, this has been great. I mean, |
| 1:40.0 | people think that I've got, you know, I've got, I've got three boys. We'll get to it later, |
