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?

Yes please Cari

Theres hope for Ireland against Oz without doubt......

Well done ABs. Totally dominant performance. Smothered them.

Wallabies - too many errors but not disgraced. They'll be back... hopefully.

Why didnt Oz play like that from the start? They could have been so much closer all right T. Well played NZ. Brilliant defence and deadly execution near the OZ tryline.



Have a great day regs... Mon Ireland!

Wow the awareness of space from Australia is incredible! You jsut can't switch of against them at all.

Hey has anyone seen that Henson wants to return to the Ospreys?!

...and there goes yet another Bledisloe Cup. Another year.

We love our wide open space, rodders... on and off the field.

Just pulling you plonkers guys & girls

Takes me back to my childhood and the build up to Christmas - think I'm going to burst with excitement some days

GIBBO - hope it's all going OK in the 'Dam mucker

REV, CARI,...... ALL THE OTHER WELSH REGS (and any others for that matter) - on the subject of RWC we'd really like to have a "meet" with you before we set off. Friday 2nd September in Da Diff ????

Agree with QC... they were also out-enthused.

Why didnt Oz play like that from the start?

New Zealand didn't allow them.

Penfro,if you do I call your tickets

Morning all, managed to catch the last 15 mins of the match. Seems like the AB's were incredible, but glad I got to see Rocky score a try.

Nerves are starting to build for later on today now, going to watch the Wales one online and record the Scotland v Ireland one for later, can't wait!

Penfro, could be a goer. Not due overseas now till November, so I should be alright.

Munster, I take it you'll be rugbyed out come the Wigan game later? I've sky plussed it, but want to watch it live.

Penfro -Friday the 2nd sounds good to me

Really looking forward to that WC meeting Linebreaker. This game has shown again how beatable Australia are but also how dangerous they are in with the ball in hand, they are simply electric. I can still see the possibility of an Ireland victory but also of us being ripped to pieces too.

Friday 2nd it is then - will PM you all and put something up on Face Ache

Off to this now - LINK

Catch you later ..............

Nope, planning to watch it. Rugby day today.

PMs for LDC Pete and MBTGOG

Yes rodders, that will be a most anticipated clash.

If Ireland play like NZ did tonight and the Wallabies play catch-up... then sure, you'll come out on top. Good luck tonight, btw.

We'll need to do some fine tuning in SA and back in Brisbane - and get on some sort of roll again.

Should be a belter too eh Munster.

Cheers Hobo. I got it. Replied.

Linebreaker,

What are your thoughts on Italy?

look who has got a shiny new blue badge

Yeah, watch out Rev!

I all seriousness though, I want to thank my parents because without them, I wouldn't have broadband so I could be on here for ridiculous lengths of time.

beautiful countryside, nice wines....

Seriously, we don't play them as much as you guys do but we'll need to be in much better form than tonight, hungry and ruthless... and eliminate all those errors we saw tonight. If we play proper Test/RWC level rugby - we'll smash them. If we hesitate, or don't take them seriously enough - it could be an ugly win or dare I say it - a shock defeat. I'm pretty certain the last scenario won't eventuate though. It shouldn't at least.

Thought the AB's were superb. Amazes me that players like Nonu and Smith have ben prettypoor all season for the 'Canes, then they pull on the black jersey and all of a sudden are just unstoppable.

That's it pete pick the day before our first league match!!

Congratulations on the new status Munsty... I just saw the blue badge.

Welcome aboard!

and you too Pete... congrats!

Just in time for the big matches ahead this weekend and the RWC.

Flip me like. Things can't be that bad on here

Get Stag on the moderation team and we can squeeze out de Rev entirely

Don't wory Rev, I got your back buddy!

new mods!

There is an awful lot of blue along the right hand column in here.

It's like a Police pub really.

Does that mean we are selling donuts in here now Notch?

Tidy!

So the stereotypes are true!

Look through this. Aussies seriously not happy with their performance. I don't think it was that bad. They played some good rugby that would be close to beating most other teams in the world but the All Blacks are just a different level.

Yeah. I think it showed that they didn't have the extra gear they might have thought they had though. I think they genuinely believed they could match and even better anything the All Blacks could throw at them, that they could be the best team in the world.

Unfortunately, they could not do that this morning.

Gotta say I disapprove of this new moderator nonsense. Isn't this a democracy?

whoever said this was a democracy?

It's a chinese democracy.

It's a privately run site which provides a service to us for free on a voluntary basis. The admins (unpaid volunteers) make the rules and the admins appoint the mods (unpaid volunteers) to enforce them.

We give feedback and they take it on board, but ultimately it's their site.

What you disapproving off WillyGilly, the choice of moderators or the fact that we have moderators?

I'm going to guess that it was that the choice was done without the consideration of the rest of the poster. Are you going to add an M to your name now Pete? MLDC doesn't sound so good though.

I'm saying nothing. I'm just a humble servant

Hobo

We always knew you were a kiss ass Munsty. Look at how you suck up to the Rev

Guys chill I was just joshing. In future I'll put an (H) after my remarks which are intended to be humorous but are open for misinterpretation. Lord knows I don't want to get on the wrong side of the mods. I'm a good boy.

Too late. I used permanent marker giving you a black mark.

Afternnon all. Best wishes to the guys and gals 'on tour' in France, and to the new members of 'The Blue Lamp Club'

In England v Wales part 1, it's Ealing 48 - 5 Corus Saints at h/t. Somehow I think part 2 will be somewhat different! Yesterday Paddy Power had England 1/5 and Wales 7/2...whaaat? I told my mate, who likes a punt, to take Wales at that price.
