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 stall 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

10P from every pint at participating pubs and 50P 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 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 doesn't take itself all the games too seriously.

I'm JB struggling with my fading button. Does that sound alright?

It sounds okay. It's not as slick as it might always, but it sounds okay to me.

Yeah. And next to me is this week's loyal assistance.

Phil, how are you Phil? Hello JB. I'm very good back from a lovely relaxing holiday or as relaxing as it can be with two children under two and a half in North Yorkshire.

That's so relaxing. It sounds relaxing. So relaxing.

Did you ever ask anything? Did you mount anything?

I mounted, I did mount the chimney bank, Rosedale chimney bank, just once in one day.

I did look up, it was 49 times to every estate. 49 times, which up and down, you'd have to cover over 100 kilometers to do it.

Wow.

But it's steep, so it's only 800 meters of a cent. Sorry, 800 meters horizontally to give you just less than 200 meters vertically.

But yeah, I did not do it multiple times, certainly not 49 times.

And this week's low efforts, low work rate individual, Tim Cocker, how are you?

Good evening, and apologies gentlemen. Yeah, I'm in London, because I don't know if you've heard, but it's coming home.
