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 or the game too seriously

Back in the rugby dungeon as we are 52 weeks a year, yes, we never miss a weekend, even in the off season

Even when one member of the team is absolutely hanging physically and mentally after taking part in a testimonial alongside some legit rugby players more on that in a little bit

And how are you JB? I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm helluva but I'm in a good place

How you doing Phil? Also a little bit hungover

But yeah, okay, generally they're okay

I'm a little bit buzzed currently, I'm pre-hanging over currently

Probably shouldn't be broadcasting, if I wouldn't go on to Virgin Radio as I am now, but I quite often do this podcast

Are you importing with Antoine Burnham? Is that right?

He was one of the people at the audition I was at

So Craig Parkinson who was online at duty?

No, which one's that?

I didn't watch it, is it Steve on it?

Phil is just typing, so he's got my back on this one
