The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub
by rugbydreamer on Wed 24 Aug 2011, 6:45 am

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 David Wallace photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

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

I wouldn't see that as a worry, Stag. You could argue that a young back row wouldn't have that much experience, but the only way to gain experience is by playing. It's a cliche to say 'if they're good enough, they're old enough,' but it's true nonetheless. Another thing is that the next Six Nations will be the start of the next World Cup cycle and it would make sense to opt for youth.

There's only 4 days during the group stages that have no Rugby World Cup games at all. So excited! I've cleared my Sky+ to record some of the ones I can't watch live.

Micky. What are we talking about ? I think it's my impending trip to Swansea/Porthcawl/RWC, depending on who you believe Whistle

STAG - you 'door handle' Erm

by Cari Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:42 am

Staggy - are you not meant to be there on Fridays? I thought it was Monday yesterday. I bought a two pint carton of milk for work which is normally a week's worth as well.

You all set for Porthcawl Penfro? Tommy Bowe says there were snow showers forecast on his blog. Smile

by red_stag Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:44 am

I am meant to work Friday. I just was astounded to learn my weekend is today and not tomorrow Smile

Penfro when you off

by Cari Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:46 am

Ah so it was a pleasant misunderstanding then Staggy Smile

by PenfroPete Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:50 am

STAG / CARI - all set, we fly at 21:30 on Monday night, get to Singapore Tuesday afternoon (High - 30c, Low - 26c - 60% chance of a thunderstorm). Then it's on to Wellington, leaving Friday night, arrive Saturday lunchtime (currently forecast to be High 13c, Low 11c, showers - just like summer over here then !!) Hope the snow holds off in the South Island really want to drive this - mhttp://www.nzta.govt.nz/projects/milfordroad/RoadStatus.do

by red_stag Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:51 am

A brilliantly pleasant misunderstanding. My granduncle is over from London this weekend so I'll be spending a fair bit of time with him. Also I'm not refereeing til Monday night so I've a whole weekend of relaxing ahead.

Cheers bud, going to reward myself and buy lunch from somewhere!!

by red_stag Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:59 am

I'm going out for grub and a pint for lunch too. My boss is leaving for 5 weeks today and I'm all alone in the office all that time. He's buying me lunch and a pint today Smile

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:59 am

It must be a really fulfilling job too, Prop.

by Cari Fri Sep 02, 2011 12:06 pm

Congratulations to your youngsters Prop. That's very positive news in the current state of things clap

Prop - are you coming out tonight to send off Penfro and watch the O's?

by prop_lyd Fri Sep 02, 2011 12:08 pm

I'm actually out for a meal for my mates birthday so doubt i'll be able to make it sorry!!

by Cari Fri Sep 02, 2011 12:14 pm

Indeed. Crazy busy day here at work Sad

.

Corey Jane has signed a 12 month contract with the Hurricanes, rumour has it he's off to Japan for 2 years afterwards.

That leaves SBW as the only ABs squad member still without a contract somewhere for next season.

Nice article here on the spread of PI culture in the US: http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/5554951/High-school-haka-a-hit-in-Texas-little-Tonga

victor was on Talk Sport earlier - god I hate Keyes and Gray.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:03 pm

I wasn't sad to see them go off Sky Sports. Richard Keys annoyed me more than Andy Gray did. It's just a shame they didn't take Jamie Redknapp with them, as he offers zero insight but seems to be there for every match.

No probs - would you like one of these SLURP waiting for you ?

by red_stag Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:05 pm

Nice pub grub and a pint for lunch. I've got the Friday feeling now. But I do have to keep multitasking a few fairly important stuff rest of the day.

Ah no Pete, I need to go home first, so I'll be there - possibly after Dreamer - nearer kick off. I only drink pop anyway so I'll get me own in Very Happy

I've got some arian for you anyway thumbsup

by prop_lyd Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:26 pm

Penfro you should have been at training yesterday: didn't miss 1 of the lineouts and did about 30 odd!!

by PenfroPete Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:33 pm

I have faith in yer Prop, I know you can hit it. That's why we need you fit and ready - I'm not so confident in our other throwing in options
