Imagine sweeping through green fields, floating 5 feet above ground, sun on your face as you slide by on track to your destination.

Not a car in the world, as you simply lean back. And before you know it, you're there.

This is how travel should feel, and on our trains, it does.

Avanti West Coast. Feel good travel.

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 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 Sevilla, 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.

Record.

Hello and welcome to this. It is the egg chases rugby podcast podcast about rugby.

It doesn't take itself all the games too seriously. I am JB alone in the rugby dungeon, but I'm completely alone because down the line, it's Tim Cocker. How are you Tim?

Very well. Thank you very much, JB. Thoroughly enjoyed an 80 minutes of intense rugby. I can't wait to talk about it. Yeah. And an absolute player.

Phil is in a hotel. We was ill score. I mean, what are you doing there, Phil?

What do you think I'm doing? I'm going to get a good eight nine hours sleep ready for a hard day on site tomorrow.

Oh, right. Are you allowed to be on site in a state that you're getting in tonight?

In the morning.

Well, I did have. I'm kind of well rested. I mean, well rested that like that state.

Well, I will be very well rested, except my my second job this this evening, 10 minutes before kickoff in the lion's game. Wow, look at that.

Timing a job to not interfere with rugby. That is phenomenal.
