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?

Genia for Oz!!!

10 - 0 after 16 minutes!

All offside as usual...

TRY Genia! Well deserved. Never seen NZ on the rack like this.
Hoi Lucky mate.

Ireland to beat Oz? I dont think so in this form. Long way to go yet. Great rugby.

Hoi Gibbo

Good game this.

I'm having a Bitburger Gibbo

True, they look rattled.

Hoi Cari. darlin Great tackle by Beale!

What a tackle by Beale! The ABs could've got in there...

A great kick "downtown" after a great tackle. I love these commentators even if they are biased!

That bust from Samo. Good return to Test rugby so far.

Ha did you hear what they said about Graham Henry making notes? "One loaf of bread and some milk on the way home..."

All right Breaker mate? Oz are so focused and fired up. Should be 3 tries up. No let up. Must bury em while they have em so rattled.

Why is Toby Faletau playing number 8 for Australia?

Oz 1 from 10 lineouts and still dominating. Must sort that out.

Thom - Samo looks like his twin doesn't he? Bigger afro though...

Exactly Gibbo. They should be further ahead. Good signs so far. Defence is disrupting their patterns.

No !

One jink too many from Kurtley... fgs - pass it earlier!

great movement around the park

Ooh Beale. Soo good. Could have found Ioane there though.

10-3.
Abs have hopefully weathered the storm. Good start wallabies.
What a match we are in for.

Howdy Gibbo

Some of the Wallabies' kicking from hand has been brilliant this half.

Can anyone PM another link ? The Norway one has stopped working for me.

Lineouts improving.

Nottins the Pm,I sent you contained several links.

Nottins - the Premium one works for me.

Thanks Thomond, I really must read my messages properly.

Thanks Cari, that's the one I'm on now.

SAMO!!!!

Yeah man, superb. Now they are getting the lineouts right, its near the perfect game to beat NZ.
13-3. Must keep this up for 80. NZ dont lie down. Ever.

Thompson having a complete shocker

Wow what a try from Samo!!!!!!!!!!! And he's 35 years old running like a teenager say the commentators!

He is going to feel that tomorrow!

Great try for an old man

Of phhoke me! What a try by the 35 year old. Tres magnifqcue Oz! Good man Samo.

These are my favs for the RWC. Always have been.

20-3

I was at the famous 28-7 win along with 106,999 others. Can we go on and finish the job in the second half?

Well one commentator reckons it was his hair... hee hee.

Well well well...I had the ABs down to win on my SG picks.

Lot of dropped balls. Surprised only 7 in it.

Cooper to make it 13-3.

Over..cooper back to his best.
Samo brilliant.
20-3.
Whew.

20 - 3, now just don't concede before half time.

TGG will not doubt have some reason why the try was illegally scored.

The ball was taken from Richie McCaw,therefore it cannot be a try, even South African schoolteacher TMOs know that.

Notts, sent u a PM man.

I do like them new AB tops.

I have never seen so many errors from an AB side.

Agreed, Cari. Like the retro numbers.

Phew... found the touchline. Last thing Wallabies needed was another soft try just before HT. Glad that didn't happen... for once.

They are being forced into it on most occasions. What a half by Oz. Incredible. More!

Great stuff from the Wallabies, but you just know the All Blacks will have some periods of dominance at some point. The question is whether the Wallabies can keep this going. What a great half of rugby.

I like the little white collar bit too Lucky, just makes it look better I think.

HT...and they grab Beale for an interview! Jebus, let the guy have a breather!
