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, Ardicevier, 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.

Right, press the button.

Hello, I'm Chase's.

Chase's rugby podcast, the podcast about rugby that doesn't take itself for the game too seriously.

And we're here in the rugby dungeon to digest the final warm up game for the Lions in South Africa and build up to a test series.

It's here. It stays away. How are you feeling about that?

The stormers game has put under the dampener on my Lions fever. It went from fever pitch to a little bit.

Because who are these games? Games helping. On the other hand, I am quite excited to see the real South Africa team come out to play.

I'm more excited about seeing South Africa than I am seeing the Lions.

Yeah, I think you're right seeing that the stormers game, which the storms did well for most of the game.

It's only the last 20 when the Lions scored almost half their points.

They've seen that again, empty stadium. I know they're all going to be empty stadiums, but that doesn't help a 49 points to three win, doesn't help.
