The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Mon 01 Aug 2011, 11:58 am

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?

Ale

T'will be mayhem come the RWC. It would HAVE to be someone outside this Pub. Calls of nepotism are rife.

I agree. And I would also give it to someone in Auz/NZ. We have nobody online during the night when they are posting.

Good call. Logical Captain.

Back on my way past the puter and I noticed the wee symbol denoting "Kiwi".

I thought it was a picture of the top of a bald head of yellow man, who is wearing a bolwer hat which is far too small for him!

<doh>

by MBTGOG Thu 04 Aug 2011, 12:44 pm

Remember it has to be someone who will be online quite a lot.

Ah nice entertaining lunch created by you all!! Beats the sandwich and crisps the hotel supplied! Good to see Charlie there for England. Looks like Wales are trying new things and, as expected a smattering of an 'A' side. Backrow of the future though!

Pembroke

by Suspicious lurker Thu 04 Aug 2011, 1:11 pm

I like that team, only sexton guaranteed a starting place in the first team, great use of the SQUAD, delighted

"Beth yw'r ots gen i am Rhys Priestland? Damwain a hap
Yw fy mod yn eu libart yn byw. Nid yw hwn ar gae
Yn ddim byd ond cachgi o foi yn cwato yn y cefn,
Ac yn tipyn o boen i'r rhai sydd yn credu mewn trefn amddiffynol."

(with appologies to Hon, T.H. Parry-Williams)

by red_stag Thu 04 Aug 2011, 1:13 pm

McCarthy makes sense as a lineout option. But McLaughlin gives us that too. The breakdown of the subs bench is very interesting. A full front row. MOD is pointless to have there if McCarthy and Ryan and Cullen are there. I'd have rathered someone who can cover 7.

+21 WTF is de Bull doin there tho. I mean really. Please let him retire with some dignity FFS. I spose - this may be his last game. Hope so.

by **Notch** Thu 04 Aug 2011, 1:20 pm

Well, if you take it as read that Healy and Ross are 'on the plane' and it's going to be 2 out of 4 to join them, this selection would imply Hayes and Horan are 5th/6th choice and most likely injury cover at this stage.

by **Notch** Thu 04 Aug 2011, 1:20 pm

I think we'll see a whole different front row come on in the second half.

by Gibson Thu 04 Aug 2011, 1:21 pm

Scotland by 10 or more. That's ok, we need to check these players out. All-in-all... GOOD man Deccie.

by red_stag Thu 04 Aug 2011, 1:22 pm

I'm still backing Ireland to put a few Scots in their place.
