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 Lionel Nallet photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

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

You got to be pleased with that result Notch, good confidence boost going in to the season.

Yeah, Quins will be disappointed they never really got any continuity going. Some credit has to go to Ulster for their defence but they made a fair few unforced errors as well.

Big mention for 18-year old Peter Nelson, came on for Ulster in the last 10 minutes on the wing- made a try saving tackle on a big Quins backrow in the corner! And he's a Ginger

Quiet in in here. Everyone must have got paid and are out on the razz

Paid? I flipping wish.

Hiya all. Last night was a killer. We lost, I played ok (great D and counter rucking), but not sure what the craic is for later. Going to work from 3-11am after that was a killer. It's wrecked my body clock now. Hurt my ankle a bit, so if selected I'll be binding it very tightly. Gutted I'm missing the Wigan game (League) and the Tri Nations finalé. Sky plussed though.

Anyway, time to try sleeping again. I love lost causes.

tours from 2003

I don't know 1966 and all that, get over it mun!

In Leicester there are Frog Island and Holy Bones.

There's a part of our town with
Norman Road
Harold Street
Florence Road
Haydn Road
And
Frank Avenue

The first three are street of works' houses built by the local mine owner who named the roads after his kids, the last one is named after Ann Frank (so why not call it Ann Frank avenue?) and I have no idea who Flip Haydn was, unless it was the composer, but what the Flip?

My wife is from a village called Trap.

Morning/Bore da.

Also in Herts are Nasty and Hogpits Bottom (where the superb Carpenters Arms is to be found). I used to do a bit of country walking round there.

OK, it was more of an elongated pub crawl .

Morning Publurkers Lovely day in the Welsh capital.

Willy - Penfro's probably put it on his TV guide too, but in my Radio Times it says the Ireland/England match is on Sky Sports 2 from 2:15pm. The BBC are showing the rugby league final this afternoon at the same time. Oh and there's no highlights on the BBC of this England match that I can see listed. Not even on the red button Hopefully I can watch it online live anyway. It's the Tri Nations on Sky Sports 3...I got them mixed up.

Morning all. I hear Leinster players were making racist remarks to Mujati calling him a baboon.

Forsyth Barr Stadium looks good. Will look even better when full. Good noise from about 2/3 capacity. England play Argentina and Ireland meets Italy there.

I noticed that one of the sites used to watch rugby is no longer available.

What? Noooo...surely not...are you having a WUM?

Wouldn't surprse me those Leinster people are muck savages. Seriously,if true that's horrible. Cymro,you want a link yeah?

Yeah MP2P has domain issues. I have a few links up my sleeve from previous matches and GAA...I should find something...

Well done Cari if I need a link at some stage now I know who to ask.

I haven't found one yet Cymro...! Thom might have something too...

Cari my son uses links due to the fact he travels with his work if you are stuck I will gladly ask him whats available.

Gibbo,Cari,and Cymro check your inboxes.

No WUM Cari

Staggy - where did you hear that? I like to think that sort of thing hasn't crept into rugby.

Was it done by none Irish players

Yes,Cymro two South African players according to Mujati.

That is what I thought but did not want to name players.

Greetings pub dwellers. I'd appreciate a pm with a link. Going to watch the match at a friends new house and he ain't got his tv sorted yet. Wifi should be fine though.

Out to play football this am. Cracking day for it to. It's been a while though and I broke into sweat running up 3 flights of stairs at work yesterday. Let myself go...

Willy,you know where to go. I'm playing football this afternoon so I'll miss the game but I have a feeling it will be on youtube.... and of course highlights. Check your mail

There was a bunch of Ospreys fans at Paddington...wearing straw hats! Is that a new addition to the O's fans uniform? Where are they playing?

Muchas gracias

Just discovered my parents left the house early this morning to head south and GO TO THE GAME! It's not like I could have gone, but it's nice to be at least asked. This changes things, might have the lads round to mine instead now. Decisions decisions...

Twill work for the 3N game too.

What time does that match start?

Morning all, I am going to be out at a tennis tournament that my nephews are playing in this afternoon so if there is a link for the game going around then I would appreciate a PM as well.

11:05,willy. Pete,you've got mail

Great Haka... Richie's eyebrows formed a violent looking 'V'.

I hope that's not an omen...

Could I have mail as well please ? The normal Norway one isn't working for me.

Yeah I know, your message will contain that link as I've posted the same thing to a load of others, and it went down a while ago.

Mon Oz!

Working fine for me just a bit slow in loading.

Morning all. Awesome start by the Wallabies. What a Test match this should be!

Harrow - I've seen those lads before at other matches, but the O's aren't playing until the 2nd of September at home, so I'm guessing those lads are just on a day out or something?

Why would you take a quick lineout?

They could be 2 tries to the good. Ioane...

The passes he got were shocking though.

Sure were. They really need to take those chances. The Blacks will have their usual purple patch.... TRY? .. Ah great defence Weepu. Scrum 5.

That's phenomenal defence by Weepu and Muliaina, but Adam Ashley-Cooper'll be disappointed he didn't score there.

How are we all, by the way?

If Greyghost comes back he has something to b!tch about.

Thanks Thom - all working here

Genia!

lol. Cooper & McCaw...
