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

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

Sergio

He'll definietly have his pic up during the world cup.

Munsty - nice one. I saw a world cup advert on S4C yesterday and that got me all excited for the world cup. Can't wait till Friday now.

Hound - aye, I think perhaps it might be.

Kings and Queens is on my iPod but not a playlist.

Don't mention Scrum V in here either. Dreamer will be cross after Jiffy and Rob Jones said they wouldn't pick Stephen Jones.

Cheers for that Willy. Opened that up and the Turks here saw it. Hard to explain myself out of that one.

Just by the by,Tony Blair is Godfather to Murdoch's daugthter. This case is getting curioser and curioser.

Ps.I know those aren't words.

I won't believe this until Tony Blair denies it.

Cymro,it was on the Beeb: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-14785501

Too true Rev!



He's not going to be fit for the SA game anyway

Cymro - just showed my mates that

We're of a certain age...

Yes I know lol thats why I said I won't believe this until Tony Blair denies it.
When a government official denies something you can bet your bottom dollar its true.

That's nothing Munsty! Suffices to say that that isn't the first time I've viewed that photo. My over curious other half was going through my iPhone and came across it (nothing dodgy I hasten to add, I was referencing it an argument). Made for an interesting conversation.

Yes HH

It's a pity that. Same for Geth. I do look on Welshrugbypics for the training pics to see who's running. Ryan was the only one of the three who looks like he has. It's been announced he's probably fit anyway.

Hopefully my Welsh top arrives tomorrow (WC one). Shame I can't wear it to Marseille on Wednesday.

Anyway, Ireland won't make it out of the group in the World cup, Mark my words.

Well if that doesn't get a response it mustn't time for bed. Nos da.

I still think it's ridiculous we've taken Geth. He's had no game time since January and there's no guarantee he'll get fit for any of the matches.

All calf injuries though, wish I knew what they did at Welsh training that resulted in so many of them.

Nice one on getting the shirt Rev, I really like this Welsh WC top.

Glas,
Thanks for that pal. We will defo make the SF now. Have you ever been roysh about anything besides sheep? And in fairness -. you know yer sheep.

Willy, Parrise is a ride. True enough. But he's Italian. That doesn't count. He would spend so much time in front of the mirror, preening himself, he'd have no time for me.

Leo would make me tea and we'd talk rugby. I love Leo.

Here Glas take a hike.

Ok mate - we'll stop there...

'There may troubles ahead'

And I don't fancy facing rhe music...

Ah Gibbo! I knew I could rely on you.

Seriously, I think there are one or two big twists in store in the land of the long boring night, but that is not one of them.

And Willy! Thank you. I hate being ignored.

Disagree Gibbo. With Sergio we'd spoon afterwards and then he'd take me shopping in the morning for nice things cos that's the kind of guy he is.

Sergio looks awfully gay in that photo doesn't she.

Mind you, that Rebecca Brooks is quite sexy.

Err, last comment aimed at Cymro's response.

I hope Penfro & Mrs Penfro are enjoying their flight. Good luck to all the teams that make up the Lions.

There is that Willy. But Leo would take me for pints and I know he wouldn't shirk at the price of a package of Tayto. Cheese & Onion obviously.

And I know this may sound harsh... But. He is not a Winner. I only play with Winners. Crass, I know. But that's the kind of hairpin I am.

He may be and that would make no differ. He's a sophisticated hunk. And probably... the best in his position in World Rugby.

Actually, feckoff Leo!

Men are so fickle eh?

Last night out with the Turks. Going to have to fight back the tears. Best guys to go out with.

Night all.

Love you Munsty. Enjoy the time with good friends.

That's a case of the Ian Rush though isn't it. A better player than the others in the team that lead people to say "if only he could have played at a World Cup" etc. But perhaps being a big fish in a small pool suits them. Perhaps they wouldn't get on with the other big fish. I'd take Heaslip and an in form Beattie given the choice.

As a matter of fact, I think Leo is adorable. But, there is only the One

Spoiler:

Gibbo, delightful as ever, but one is juggling all sorts in home and work life currently and is knackered. Diolch yn fawr a nos da!

Oooh Puma girl. I know you love De BOD. Great choice. The man can actually string a few words together. Id ride his intelligence alone. AND ... he is from my Hood. It all makes sense now. Somehow.

Glas,
Im busy trying to find that FB picture of Jenno. Training in OZ. The one where 1000's of women and men .. just went.... Oh my

Irish Cream.

Nah Gibbo,

To be fair I think it was just you that went...Oh My!

I did. And I'm not ashaned to say it either.

Loving the pun!

Got a serious buzz about Friday morning;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eGCsEQ15L4

These next four days can't go quickly enough!

ditto Notch.

Planning my weekend already, not much sleep will be had.

Everyone registered up on sportsguru?

Yep. I'm just hoping that Tonga don't get savagely torn apart.

Normally it's sort of dull watching New Zealand in the pool stages. New Zealand versus France is always a fun game though.

Right just read through a lot a posts and if I miss anything my apologies


Will start with a sly comment that I am in fact a little pissssssed up now but flock it, its all fun and games till someone looses an eye.

Now with the deepest sincerity, I thank you all on here for the congratulations on my goodluck today. Ye have no idea how close I came to losing my job today. I've been stressed out over this for two weeks and only really talked to a few people here about it, those people know who they are and I'm forever grateful for it I'd have cracked up without it. Just sums up what we've developed on here and I love you all for it.


Gibbo, loving the bike story,

Remember when you were young, and shone like the sun


Thomond

Stop bring such a bollix ;-) all fun and games buddy and as D24 says The only Rebel ye ever had you shot in the back. (classic, can't believe I've never heard that before)


Cari,


Good luck with wherever you end up, no doubt you'll be grand wherever it is



Hound


I'll always love the buttcombe


I don't know what else to say.............. sorry folks I've run out if words

Oh man.That just stirred it up for me too.

Son No 2. is home. Hes awa soon. Spending time just sniffing him. I'll miss him so.

Parents will understand this.

I understand Gibbo, just been watching mine sleeping.


Evening hughie, good to here yer grand now mate.

Whenever I fall at your feet, you let your tears rain down me.



Evening Pete, Gibbo.

Bore da pawb / good morning all. Pelting down with rain here and a hell of a strong wind, too. I was blown all over the place on the way to work - but it woke me up!

With that in mind, it's all the more baffling that they've left Iestyn Thomas at home.

Morning

Mornin' all.

Nice bit of Crowded House from ye last night Hughie.

Defo Pete,


Love their stuff

Morning all, amazing experience last night! But that pitch is terrible, I made a sliding tackle and took up all the grass in my path!

Roll on Friday! Working from home in the morning I think
