The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Thu 18 Aug - 20:09

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 Stephen Jones photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

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

Ale

Morning Hughie.

Just heard on the radio that the ARU have decided not to take the 'Paris brawl' allegations any further due to insufficient eyewitness accounts.

Murray’s rise is now seen as the best example of how the provincial Academy system can work. He is yet to play Heineken Cup. Word from Munster is the 6ft 1in scrumhalf, of Patrickswell hurling stock, is a coach’s dream. Think Mike Phillips – without the personality glitches that get you arrested outside McDonalds at 3am on a Sunday morning.

Morning breaker, I've always thought James O'Connor looked like be should ne in Twisted Sister, I seriously think there is a bit of Caster Semina going on there

by **Pal Joey** Tue 23 Aug - 6:54

yeah, He doesn't look like the archetypal tall, macho, bronzed Aussie

He looks as though butter wouldn't melt in his mouth... he sort of reminds me of Stuart Broad in a way.

Morning you two.

Interesting All Blacks squad named.

Need to start packing soon.

by **Pal Joey** Tue 23 Aug - 7:12

Morning Munsty,

Yes, interesting. No Messam, Sivivatu, Hoeata, Gear and Crockett. Guilford, Vito Dagg, Toeava and Boric in there.

Are you going to NZ?

by MBTGOG Tue 23 Aug - 7:20

I wish. If I hadn't have decided to go back to uni, then yes, but I'm here now, so........

Are you heading over for it all?

Oh and the Tonga squad has been named if you/anyone is interested. I've decided they are the team I'm supporting outside of Ireland at this World Cup.

by **Pal Joey** Tue 23 Aug - 7:54

Unfortunately no. I was thinking of popping over for some group matches (v Russia, USA) but left it too late. I have relatives in Chch but finding accommodation in Nelson might have been difficult.

Is that the missionary in you?

The Swiss could do well to poach a few Tongans. Whistle

Sure could be. I say they'll be delighted to have an Irish man cheering them on from in front of his TV in Chester.

Morning All coffee

I hope the London based regs are all right today.

Aled Brew walked past by house again this morning with his babi. He must live up by me.

Oh and according to one of the players, the All Blacks have been barred from using social networking during the WC. Shame really.

Woops! How dare I talk rugby... censored

Talking to myself anyway... Whistle

by Mick(TEFC) Tue 23 Aug - 9:09

Heymans is going as FB, and Domingo isn't going at all Sad

neither is Giteau

by Mick(TEFC) Tue 23 Aug - 9:17

Also among the missing is Sivivatu Yahoo

Perhaps he can get here a bit sharpish, like,he'll be useful at the start of the season with all the others missing.

by Cari Tue 23 Aug - 9:23

Right! The redeployment application has gone....PTG I get soemthing soon angel

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Tue 23 Aug - 9:23

Morning all,

I'm a bit surprised Gear lost out to Guildford, but otherwise I had the other 29 names right. A few unlucky ones though.

by Glas a du Tue 23 Aug - 9:26

Mick, I hear what you are saying, but reality is hardly a constraint in this exercise.

by Mick(TEFC) Tue 23 Aug - 9:30

In that case, put Caucau in Whistle

Top14 starts this weekend

This place dying on it's harries or what.

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Tue 23 Aug - 9:59

Looks like a quiet morning Glas, not too many regs online.

by red_stag Tue 23 Aug - 10:01

Mick have you seen how many away matches Toulouse have in second half of the season.

Between the end of January and May they are away to Toulon, Stade Francais, Perpignan, Bordeaux, Clermont, Gloucester, Racing Metro and Biarritz. During the same time frame they only have THREE home games.

Tough one fans. 3 home matches in 4 and a half months.

by Cymroglan Tue 23 Aug - 10:17

I'm doing a 100 mile cycle ride for charity this Saturday it will be done in record time I'm not missing that match Saturday. Very Happy

by Breadvan Tue 23 Aug - 10:19

Stephen Jones photo above the bar? Hasn't this place been closed by H&S standards yet...... Yikes

by Glas a du Tue 23 Aug - 11:01

You just make sure your van is clean before making scurrilous accusation like that in here, gwboi!
