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?

Good morning pub.
A big hi from Asbo, Hughie, Kiwi, Mick, Swanny and Sharpey from a beautiful French location.

I am hungover the frig. Heading for a shower.

Here when Stag gets in did anyone know he's got a drink named after him. Or has he named himself after a drink. Red coloured bourbon thing it was. Cherry flavour I think. Tasted like absolute crap if I'm honest.

Morning Snitch/Willy.

Another late night (no drink involved), but I still got up for this game. Pretty excited about it.

I like the AB's training top.

I've started seeing that Red Stag drink everywhere I go. Makes me sick just looking at the logo and thinking of its horrible namesake.

Morning/afternoon/evening all,

I wonder which version of the Haka awaits us... please, not the throat slasher one!?

Do they still do that?

Ah I do like that Foo Fighters song which was just on (Walk).

Can't wait for a pint later. Just hope training only runs on for an hour, or it'll be a tactical hamstring strain

Morning guys.
Looking forward to a cracking day of rugby.

You wait 18 months for a Flip JCB driver and he phones the day my dad is judging at Oswestry show! No Flip rugby for me today. I'm judging pigs on the Gower tomorrow. Fine normally but it's forecast to pifs down.

Really good to see Eden Park so full.

Morning all.

I didn't fall back asleep today! Note to self though,don't go to sleep at 2am if you're getting by at 08:25!

No need to shout Munsty I have a splitting head ache.

Morning All

Harrow - that's good news about your pal. At least he never gave up That's good for me to know!

Anyone got a good stream for this match?

Yes Rev, a slash at the end there...

SORRY WILLY.

That was a good Haka. Liked the camera work on it.

I feel your pain guys. Bed at 1.30am up at 8am for the match, stonking head ache. Not a good combination. Coffee required, and lots of it!

It's OK, I have one

Cari,you've got mail. It's not spam.

Not that I'm absurdly conpetitive or anything, but technically I haven't been to be bed yet.

Cracking tempo to the start of this game.

Willy,Your phone's ringing,there's a guy on the other end saying legend!

Thanks Thom

Morning everyone else who's just arrived. all round I think.

I love those new AB shirts with the little collar bit, looks old skool

Story Cari, Munsty, Prop? Mon Oz!

Willy: your my hero

How do Gibson?

Prop, I wouldn't have thought I'll be going. By the time I'm done training I'll have little time to get to Newport.

Might head down after though, cos there's a band on. That's a big might though.

It has been high hasn't it Munster. Both sides look willing to run the ball.

Morning Gibbo: help yourself to one of these

Fair enough rev, it's not like i'd miss you if you made an appearance anyway, it wouldn't be a Soft And Subtle entrance would it

Look at that little patch of gold in the crowd...

ABs full steam ahead... and a try to Nonu!

Certainly not Prop

Nice score.

Morning Gibbo,


Nonu scores after some cracking build up play. Nonu is so hard to stop from the pick and go that close.

Is it me or are backs doing more pick and go's lately?!

Jebus! Unreal... The speed they recycle the ball at. Great try.

Willy's just practising for the World Cup too it seems!

Nonu made that try with his pass to Sivivatu,took out two defenders.

Oi Breaker mate. Believe!

Lovely work off the lineout.

I'm-a-believer Gibbo.

ABs will have to go down a (Hosea) Gear soon, surely?

Excellent kick Genia... man. The pace of this game. Sivivatu is getting faster.

All Blacks laying down a marker here.

James O'Connor struggling so far in this game.

Back-piddling? Ha!

Fantastic battle between Carter and Cooper so far.

Sooo good by Carter. Agree Munsty.

A better kick by Cooper there and that was a try. He's a genius that guy.

At least we're at the right end of the field now... a bit of pressure, need to convert into some points... almost a RL 'tap back' in the in-goal area try.

Shheeeet! So close by Oz.

Argh i'm a bit gutted i've got to go to squash now!! Want to stay because this is a cracker.

you do all realise that there is a chatbox open! At the bottom of the home page if you want it.

Also - MBTGOG - PM for you

Second try for New Zealand. Another pick and go. Kevin Mealamu.

Try... big Kev!

Nonu having a blinder.
