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 Pont, 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, Egg Chasus.

You see, Chasus rugby podcast, the podcast about rugby that doesn't take itself all the game too seriously.

We are back in the rugby dungeon after a, not just a big weekend, a big week or rugby in the British Isles and Ireland.

That's one thing I can never be sure of like the United Kingdom. What's the United Kingdom? What, what is the British Isles? What is Great Britain?

What's the difference between them? Do you know? Yes, I've been told.

Isn't the British Isles in Clude, Ireland?

Oh, you're going to be out, people are outraged at that. And maybe I don't know. Yeah, I think I'm not sure about that.

No, the United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland because it's the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.

So is the United Kingdom just a bit without Northern Ireland? I don't know. I don't know.

And I've actually looked up in the past but never found like a concise satisfactory answer.

Is the United Kingdom the fact that the Kingdoms of Scotland and England united and then Wales is just kind of like a principality?

Well, I don't know how to set Welsh people because it's a proud, it's a proud fine nation and I hop over to North Wales.

I love a bit of North Wales. I like it as a tourist spot. I like it as a playground.

But what I was going to say, I think technically speaking, it's not a country, it's not a sovereign nation.
