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?

I really don't know why the players do those Half time interviews. I would be telling them to urine off!

Or to rack off.

Way too much urgency by the Ws
oz awesome that half. Best ive see them last 2 years that half.
Well done. I rekon more of it second half.

Lucky - like on Home and Away "Awww rack off you mongrel!"

That Project Dawn programme looks crap too.

Agree Lucky. 1st score in 2nd half is vital. The AB's will come out like Demons possessed. Oz must just carry on playing the way they are.

We always do those Cari... very important to get a word or two from the players before the hit the sheds. he he

Starting for the 1sts today. Obviously did alright on Thursday. Buzzing. Got to strap my ankle right up mind.

Well done Australia. Can't wait to watch it back properly later. Saw Samo's try like. Good stuff.

15 missed tackles, that would be pretty bad for any team any age but the All Blacks!

Thanks. Replied, Mr Gibson

Afternoon all, hope everyone's well. It would appear I'm missing a v good game of rugby, would muchos appreciate it if someone could send me a link

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

I missed that. Why the flip do they need to talk to a player at half time ? Let them get their half time cup of tea and slice of orange.

Risca - hope the ankle improves soon. Well done on the match yesterday anyway.

So McCaw got a knock early but looks OK, Thompson and Read's injuries look more serious.

1st Half Stats (Oz/AB)

Rucks & Mauls 48/38
Ad line % gain 64/54
7+ phases 2/3
Linebreaks 5/1
Missed tackles 5/15
Turnovers 11/9
H/Errors 6/8

Wallabies need to maintain the rage. ABs will try to come back strongly no doubt.

Dreamer - has someone PM'd you?

Dreamer check your mail. I think I've sent links to half of the site at this stage!

Rev, have you got your season ticket yet? The last of my payments has gone out of my account so I went down to the ticket office this morning and they said they can't print them off yet because they're waiting to move to 'the new building.' (?) The bloke said it would be ready before the first home game of the season, but I'm a bit miffed that I can't say I'm a season ticket holder yet even though I've paid for it!

It's like watching England at this ruck.

That looked painful...

The stadium sounds really quiet this half.

Nerves...? They're waiting for the ABs onslaught...

Cari, those O's fans may have been going to the RL final at Wembley.

Good game from Oz here, esp their pack.

cheers for the links

Lucky - that's a pain you can't collect your ticket yet! Mine arrived on Thursday, with a lovely letter inviting me to the kit launch, which took place on Wednesday Don't know why they couldn't send them out sooner!

Discipline, discipline feicin discipline Oz!

Ah yeah, of course Harrow I forgot that's on too.

Oz can't afford to keep giving away points with Carter on target...

26 phases... and then a soft try.

AB's try after 26 phases!!!

that was a lovely try.

Yup. Heads up Oz. Need to get the next score. And stand up.

In its own way that was a perfect try. Patient, patient play, no panicking, work your way upfield and spread it when the time comes. Excellent.

Anyone got a link for this?

AB's number 14 (or no.4??) looks lush

THOMOND - can you just email the link to all the regs?

Wallabies need to get possession and pick up the intensity... and score points

PM me if you've a link

Cari, their number 4 is Brad Thorne. It won't be him you mean.

Notch. PM

Notch,I think you know what to do.

Ha Notch gets about 15 emails now....

Lucky...awh OK then no.14 is a bit of a man babe I do like my no.14s....

Here, there's a fella there called Alyn Williams as well. Why isn't he in the Welsh squad?

Ali Williams

My aunt used to babysit Ali Williams.

Oh is it? I kept hearing it as Alyn!!

Comeback complete...

And so the comeback starts....

I got three PMs with links. You guys...

Nonu!!!!!!!! Great step inside.

Wallabies choking and choked of possession.

20-20

September I've heard too Lucky.

Cheers Cari. Sure it'll be alright. Adrenaline is a wonder.

ah try Nonu, too easy there.

Plenty of time left for the Wallabies. They just need to keep hold of the ball for a while, they've barely had a sniff this half.
