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 Chasers. It's the Egg Chasers rugby podcast, the podcast about rugby that doesn't take itself all the game too seriously

Back in the rugby dungeon with a fully recovered JB, how you doing, Jay? I'm fine. I'm absolutely fine. I'm absolutely knackered today though.

I've done two days of stripping, hardcore stripping. Is that pay well? No, it's effectively free. I've never stripped so hard in all my life.

So I started yesterday morning and as of today, I've managed to strip half a boat of paints.

There we go. It's hard. He has also stripped for the podcast. It's just unfortunately me and Phil are the only people that can see that right now.

Exactly. We can see some bare feet definitely. And Phil has done the opposite of stripping. How you doing Phil?

The opposite. I'm okay, Tim. He's put on a new strip. Actually, you've got a new strip on and I've never seen a football shirt actually that looks decent on a fully grown adult male.

There isn't a professional football. I've got to say, Lukaku looks good in all the shirts. He's a professional footballer. He's the only professional footballer that looks good in all the shirts.

He fills them out very nicely in all the right places. Phil has got a new Manchester United Change shirt on.

Yeah, it's a bit more like a t-shirt, which I quite like. It is quite me. It's quite retro, quite hipster.

And then last weekend when the opening weekend of the season, the football season, United played leads big rivalry.

Big rivalry. And there was a video going round of a load of the football hooligans clashing on the streets of Manchester film from inside a cafe.

And there was a bloke wearing this exact blue, white and red United retro shirt sipping his flat white roll. This chaos happened upside and I thought, I want to be that bloke.

I don't want to be those idiots outside.
