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 collage of great modern open-side flanker pictures on the bar. We've got Dusatoir, Jennings, Pocock, Brussow and McCaw up, all in action "pilfering pill". Graffiti's a banning offence

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

Here we go...........................

Here I go again on my ooooooown...

I typed in Wally and I got this:

Oh is that what it is....I thought I smelled.

Hi Cari. Yeah. Really must try to get to sleep. But I reckon I'll be up for a few hours yet.

I got ITV! Oh yes. The whole shabang!

good work Gibbo

Gibbo!!

Ah who needs bed when you have coffee and cookies (which I have - big ones, 50p for a bag of five in Sainsbury's. Yummo)

oo Cari you reminded me i've got on in the fridge...shame i'm not cat-sitting at my sister's!!

Prop - ah gotta have munchies in for the RWC. I've got a cupboard full, but I'm having a fry up tomorrow with the opening ceremony. Just for the novelty of it. And I haven't had a fry up in yonks (since Dublin in fact).

James Hook; George North, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, Shane Williams, Rhys Priestland, Mike Phillips; Paul James, Huw Bennett, Adam Jones, Luke Charteris, Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton (C), Toby Faletau
REPLACEMENTS: Lloyd Burns, Ryan Bevington, Bradley Davies, Andy Powell, Tavis Knoyle, Scott Williams, Leigh Halfpenny

Hook at 15. Oh my word

Hoi Prop man. Excited? Stupid question Gibbo.
I really fancy Wales to light this thing up on Sunday. Catch SA cold. England should beat Argentina. Tough one up front, but I expect them to. Scotland should brush by Romania. Ireland should do USA.

It would be a great start for the Pub. I'm supporting all the Home Nations. We are ONE.

BELIEVE.

I'm mega mega excited!!

Argh why won't Gats swap Hook and Roberts?! Our lineout best be on form...oh wait...Bennett.....oh well best get those kippers smoked for the squad!!

Risca - I'm a smidge worried about that.....but with Wellies out...I'm still saying Wales will win....just cause I can...BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as a weird...I mean wise aul man once said

The Ireland team will be announced at about 1am tonight. I may well be asleep when it is. Rumours are Tom Court and Conor Murray will start, Trimble dropped, and D'Arcy to secure 12. I'm not sure how I would feel if we dropped Trimble for Earls. But rumours are rumours aren't they? We'll just have to wait and see.

I was starting to believe a bit, but now it's gone. It'll be right back up there on Sunday though.

Risca - of course it will be!

Notch - you not staying up for the announcement? as long as Tommy's in there....Ireland's Totty Count is lower now with Wally out as it is

I'm staying up for it. Not too bothered whatever team we put out we should win. Makes sense to rest a few for the Aussies.

The only possible reason for leaving out Trimble for Earls is to save the Ulsterman for the Aussies because he has been Irelands best back in the warm up matches.


Evening all

Ah Rev. Trust in Gats. Like I Trust in Deccie.



Ye can do it. Then pulverise the PI teams.

Evening Pete. Yes I agree. Best player by far over the Summer. He's ready. He will play v Oz.

Evening Plod

Oi Cari darlin, gizza biscuit will ya? I am de Cookie Monster!

Ya know, its the biggest expectant night since we started in 2009. Well, save for a couple of Heinos roysh? But that's different, We are ALL really involved in this one. Love it.

I make it 9 hours and 7 minutes until the opening ceremony begins!

Hi folks.
This is just a flying visit to wish everyone a success filled world cup.
Hopefully all the games will be played on the right spirit and no-one gets badly injured.
Obviously I want Ireland to win the damned thing but I will be rooting for all the home nations. It's about time the NH made a stand and closed the gap with the SH.
So good luck everyone. Keep smiling no matter the results

Rava! Quick someone get a lasso!

Good man Rav!

Aye, I'm off to my gwely too.

G'night

The bad news about tomorrow is there's going to be a 90-second ad break between the Anthems, Haka(s) and start of play apparently. 'Superbowl' style.

What's more, the originator of that idea was ITV.

Irish team will be named at 2.15am our time, 1.15pm in New Zealand. Don't think I will be awake then. Night all.

Aww feck them then. I don't officially switch to NZ time until tomorrow. Besides it's not like we flew out John Hayes on the sly to slip him into the team.

Morning!!!!

Happy World Cup everybody! ooh it's like Xmas - what did you get? Are you happy with the selection? Tommy's in then?! Woooop, that's a million points for Ireland right there

Harrow - sorry I missed your question, I went to bed. I can eat a little bit like choc chips so that's OK

good Morning Cari and gentlemen, I am so excited about this world cup starting that I don't really care about anyhting else at the moment.

Morning Cari and Biltong!

I got an excited email from my cousin in Auckland this morning (about 8 hours ago). Half day school for the kiddies... feels like it's going to be bigger than NYE she says.

I wished her team the best of luck versus Tonga too.
