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?

Wow I respond in the affirmative to a Henson comment and everyone thinks 'aww what is the point' and shuffles off. Screw the lot of you. Me and Gav heading down to the new Salon off main street in the 'diff to top up our tan and possibly squeeze in a Mani-peti. Laters.

I hope you're very happy together.

Well there was a gang of Irishmen caught nicking lead round here a few months ago, but if the Scotch have started as well we'll all be Flip...

WillyGilly wrote:Wouldn't be surprised about Henson. Stoddart's injury has opened the door.

Be intrigued to see the Irish team as well.

It's fate.

Since I can't Flip sleep. In the next five years:
1 Ireland will win another slam
2 a NH side will win the WC
3 a Welsh side will win the ERC.
4 there will be more club games between the home nations, either by way of play offs or a full merger of Rabi Blues pros and the Jeff
5 NZ club rugby will weaken as All Blacks head north earlier and earlier.
6 Oz will loose one super team.
7 P Divvy will he replaced by an even worse coach.
8 Jake White will be coaching Wales
9 the laws of the breakdown will be even more complicated
10 Mathew Morgan will be playing in France.
11 Munster will be the third strongest Irish region and the Dragons will be the top Welsh region.
12 RGC1404 will not have got off the ground
13 Italy will win in Paris.
14 Scottish regional rugby will continue to stagnate.
15 the Scarlets will win something.

Glas a Du, there isn't any worse caoches than PDV.

Sorry mate, but that is more wishful thinking than possibility, I think this time round we will have a coach that will utilise all the exciting players in a less "predictable" way.

GOOOOOOOOooooo! Bokke!

Oh and have one on me

Morning all,

The papers are late this morning.....

Bore da pawb / good morning all. What a dreary day it is. But the Wales team's announced at lunchtime, so it's not too bad!

Morning all!! Benn offered a ticket for the match on Saturday and i'm shocked that i'm actually debating whether to go or not!! Looking to book my short excursion to Cornwall too today so good times

NOT - you are on duties along with me and I'll need someone to share the blame for the food poisoning

I'm not on cooking duties....I.D told me he was doing it. I'm going to see if they've got it tomorrow plus i'll get there early to set everything up and all the onions + quite a few rolls will be cut!

Papers are never late, they always arrive exactly when I intend them to

Good response Hughie

Kia ora, mauri ora all, damp ol' morning in London.

LDCPete, no offence meant on the jokes thread, OK.

I might have a ticket too. Probably not going though, especially if I have a match myself.

I thought you were never going back Rev?

I'm bored today, I need something to entertain me, help me out!!

Just seen it, and no offence taken, made me laugh.

Spurs v Everton's been postponed.

Interesting story here about the kiss greeting in Germany.

Well that's bollocked my Outer Milan side for the first game of the season. Some alterations will be required before the saturday. Such a shame as I spent a full hour perfecting them.

Ah, so you're Outer Milan! I'll have to tweak my side too, I've got Gareth Bale as my vice captain.

I need to look at my team. I don't think I'm too reliant on players from either side. I do have Fellaini though I'm sure.

Geoff Boycott is awesome!

Interesting story about a former pro football player in Spain.

Imogen Bankier is fit

England's squad for Saturday's been announced, Nottins - what do you make of it?

nottins wrote:Imogen Bankier is fit

Wonderful contribution.

Cricinfo's text commentators are amusing themselves during a rather boring section of play (India have gone fully defensive in the field) by talking about amusing typos past, including "muddle" instead of "middle". Some of their readers are joining in:

""muddle and off' is the correct kiwi pronunciation," says Fred. And I am not going to say what the Kiwi pronunciation for "six off the pads" is

Really brings the overall tone of the establishment up, does Nottins.

I had to do the same with Bale lucky!

After a quick look it looks a lot stronger than the side fielded last week.

Concentrating on Badminton Worlds at the mo.

NOTCH and MTBGOG, I don't see you making similiar comments when Dreamer or Cari make similiar comments about rugby players.

You make similar comments to Dreamer and Cari about rugby players! And there was me thinking you were a rampant heterosexual.

Here's the place for it nottins.

That because they do it in a jokey, good humoured way and not a sleazy way. Tone is everything.

Wales team to face England at Millennium Stadium on Saturday:

James Hook; George North; Jamie Roberts, Gavin Henson; Shane Williams; Rhys Priestland, Mike Phillips; Paul James, Lloyd Burns, Craig Mitchell, Luke Charteris, Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton, Toby Faletau

Replacements: Huw Bennett, Ryan Bevington, Josh Turnbull, Justin Tipuric, Tavis Knoyle, Scott Williams, Aled Brew

The front row situation is getting a bit worrying. Jones and Jenkins need some game time.

Does Gibbo get given out to for his comments? Seems to me like you're being harsh on Nottins.

My silly comments about attractive players are always in context tho and I don't use the hump smiley.

Afternoon everyone. Off to another building this afternoon...talk about being pushed from pillar to post.

Thomond wrote:Does Gibbo get given out to for his comments? Seems to me like you're being harsh on Nottins.

But thats because it comes across as being good-natured and humorous.

It was an innocuous comment guys,hell I've probably said stuff like that in here I don't really see the difference from what Notts has said and what others in here have said. It doesn't always come across as humorous.

I agree with Thomond in this instance.

Mrs Penfro, I'm worried now I've seen the sides for Saturday's match. England look stronger in the front and second rows, we look a better back-row unit. James Hook has never convinced at full back.

Lads that's stupid jumping on nottins like that, cari is thr worst for it in here and we all know what it transcends into here when torchwood is on, bit of balance is required
