The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the virtual rugby pub - a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the Tommy Bowe photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

Hound,there's a good chance I will head over on the Saturday and watch the WC final in the morning before frolicking around London.

Just a quick visit to let everyone know that they're showing the Wales v England quarter final match from the 2003 World Cup on ESPN Classic at nine tonight.

I might turn it off at half time...!

Rev, if I can get them onto my PVR, I would gladly put them on DVD for you.

I'd like to think we all behaved ourselves. I was surprised to see so few of the Welsh involved. With English, Irish and Scotch scrapping around you'd think they have piled in.

Everyone except you did Stag.

They know when they are beaten, Staggy!

Thomond, I thought that might be your plan. It was bad enough in 2003 when the final was in Aus. There were plenty of mangled people by 3pm that day* . This one will kick off even earlier and there will be pubs open for it.

* We were due to play a pub cricket match that afternoon - thank feck it rained. None if us would have been able to see the ball let alone hit it!

Ah no Asbo. I was SURE you'd rise to my "scotch" reference

Oh feic, how could I miss that?! Oh well, puts me in mind of morning delight !!

Cheers Nottins, we'll see what happens.

The Welsh are the humble ones you see fellas. No need to talk us up or anyone else down on here. You goys could learn a lot

You lot are just wary of ending up like Gatland and want to be like Kidney

As it's a challenge Rev, I'll do it anyway.

The Welsh were too busy arguing about their own team today, otherwise they'd've been on!!

Anyway, just wait till after the weekend - I can see the headlines now: 'Mighty Scots humble likely-semi-finalists (at least in their own heids) Ireland!!

Are you writing these headlines?

A defeat against Scotland really wouldn't dent my confidence in this team at all to be honest. After one week of rugby-based training and a weakened side, I'm really just looking for a good performance and guys putting their hands up at this stage. Like Wallace, Flannery, Kearney. I want us to win, I think we can win but it would be a bit silly to panic if we don't. If that makes sense?

Pretty much what I said about England's warm ups, notch.

The Scot should know that when it comes to the "Monarch of the Glen" it has antlers. Cows have horns.

Rugby World seems alright this month, after only reading a bit. I've learned that Matt Stevens hasn't lost a game since his return in January and that Toby Faletau's afro froze up in the Cryo Chambers.

Matt Stevens seemed quite keen to plug his coffee shop, didn't he?

Yeah just a bit Lucky.

ESPN Classic 21:00 tonight England v Wales RWC 2003

Right, a cigarette then it's time for Wales v England 2003!

Do you want me to tell you how it ends ?

Yes, watch Shane "Salmon's leap" Williams humiliate Laurence Dellaglio and wonder what might have been.

Very good, Nottins!

Eh ?

I can't wait for the weekend's sport. There's quite a bit of good telly for me this weekend

Good sport for everybody, especially on Saturday. Just depends whether I go to the Men of Gwent 7's or not as to when I watch it all.

What will you be watching ?

I'm going to watch the Ireland game cause it's on the BBC and I don't have Sky. I'll watch the highlights of the Wales game on BBC3 after the Dubs match online - wooo!

I might even watch the league match that's on after the union as well.

Good weekend of sport for you then.

You won't be watching a live stream of the Wales game ?

I can't watch the internet at the same time as watching the telly.

Eh? Would that be the Scotland game?!

Sorry Asbo - I was putting Tommy Bowe first.

He's not even playing!! But big Jim is and Jonnie Beattie

How do you know that? I haven't seen the team listed anywhere?

Besides, if he's not I bet McFadden and/or Wally will be.

Looks like McFadden will play Cari. Scottish team has already been announced though, google SRU and you should find it easy enough.

This brought a big smile to my face. Replacement hooker looking for his moment of glory!

There was a bit of space there and they kept hanging off me, so I kept on running. I've always liked a wee canter," said Perrin, who coasted up the wing before linking up with his outside backs.

G'wan!

What a great break by the hooker.

Just in from the Great Ummm, Bless him, he knows I am searching for a contract.

Pitched successfully into a trap and also broke my driver in 2. At worst, a mixed evening on the driving range.

I can't remember what I was going to say.

It appears that the Richard Parks documentary will be on dvd. Tidy.

Probably best that way Rav. You know how people like to ignore us otherwise

Brilliant... and typed it as well. X.



Rev & Rav? Who are they?

Maybe ye both need a name-change. It's all about morkeshing in the online, dog-eat-dog, World.

How bout Snitch and Snatch?

Don't worry Rava. My dads turned 56 and he's the same way. The years are there aren't they?

Cream crackered!

Skibbereen is actually pretty boring but the company was fantastic so was worth the long long trip.
