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?

I love World In Union as an anthem.

That version was good, but I have the one from the Invictus soundtrack on my phone by Overtone with Yollandi Nortjie which is just awesome.

Got your tweet Y I and am following the forum account now

Agreed. I was hoping to see it all. And when they are showing it at least explain what's happening and why.

"So, lots of dancing before kickoff, Henson must be kicking himself for missing this."

Nice!

Here, was Penfro going to the opening ceremony? I know he had tickets for some games and all the finals.

Cari, you're a star!

You're very welcome Lucky. Enjoy it!!! It's gonna be awwwwwesome!!!

My brother (not a rugby fan at all!) just text me there.

“hey Mikey, I see the world cup is starting today, you must be very excited, that’s like your crufts!”

No ads on the Fox3 channel... and very subtle commentary.

Jesus, talk about taking offence where none is meant

Love it.

Ha ha Mick.

More flocking ads

Picture of said England top posted to facebook and twitter (ozzy3213 if anyone wants to follow me on there).

Breakfast made.

Tea in mug.

Think I'm set.

Where did you get the shirt signed Pete ?

hughie1986 wrote:More flocking ads

Make tea? Need the loo? Now's the time to do it because at least they'll show the whole match without ads.

hughie1986 wrote:More flocking ads

It is NZ they get turned on by those sorts of adverts.

My sister bid for it in a charity auction somewhere and gave it to me as a Christmas present. I think she was peed at the time and ended up paying some ridiculous amount!!!

ITV have put me in a bad mood, the C**ts


I was so looking forward to seeing the opening ceremony, and I get five flocking minutes of it. Doesn't help that Steve Ryder keeps telling me how good it is. I reckon I've got grounds to sue for false advertising in their program notes.


Dickheads

Pete - do you wash it? I don't own any signed shirts, and I'd be afraid to wear one in case I washed it and the signature faded.

I'm sorry for taking FFS to mean 'for Flip's sake.'

Interesting piece on New Zealand choking in subsequent world cups.

Wow. I can imagine it cost a few quid.

Frame it or hang it. Its a nice decoration.

Staggy! How's yer loverug? Wondered where you'd be today. Are you in work?

First ad break in Oz... after 41 mins.

More ads, what's this number five??

Cari wrote:Staggy! How's yer loverug? Wondered where you'd be today. Are you in work?

I am indeed in work but the nature of my new job means that I have a lovely big screen TV in front of my desk

Hughie - I reckon they'll get to seven before kick off. As long as they show both the Hakas as well. If they don't I'll be raging.

Remember...the mute Button is your friend

Breaker - sounds like you're very luck with your ads or lack of them then!

The Beeb live text is a bit pants so far, hope it improves for when the match actually starts.

Hughie - try and not let ITV get to you. Easier said then done I know, especially for me when just the site of Steve Ryder makes me

Staggy - that's cool...have they given you breakfast as well?

Dreamer - I don't suppose you can watch a stream at your work can you? I have one if you need it.

Apparently Ryan Jones might get sent home from the WC

Was that comment meant for Glas?

First George Hook pearl of wisdom of RWC2011;

"You put your worst tackler at fullback, thats not where you need the tackle."

Hmm...

I'm having a mug of tea and I have popcorn too

There'll be a 90 second break after the Hakas and before kick off.

Mickado - ha! major typo!!

Rev - ah no really? that's heartbreaking from him, he missed the last one through injury as well

Goeden Morgen Allemaal!

Bring de fecier ON!

Hmm...

I agree with him. Not at Pro level. Its all about making the first tackle. e.g. Quade Cooper should move to 15 on defense for Aussies.

I thought the new ITV touch screen wasn't going to work there ha!

ITV shouldn't be allowed to show sports. You'd think after 20 years of c*cking the WC up the organisers would look to another broadcaster.

Risca - seriously?! I thought he had a minor injury. That's a Poopie for him. it's like the Lions tour all over again...

Kahui's playing!! Massive totty points for the ABs then!

Risca Rev wrote:Apparently Ryan Jones might get sent home from the WC

Not a big fan but very very sorry to hear that.

Look at those Tongan names....I couldn't commentate on their matches!

Morning lovely people! Here we go

Stuck in work so the text link Y I Man kindly posted will do me nicely.

and for breakfast I think.

Another ad

GG's mate refereeing.... can't wait!

On second thoughts.....

I would have thought the wing. It's true that they are much less likely to make the tackle head on, but your 15 may well save your bacon!

Dont even go there Liney

hughie1986 wrote:Another ad

Is this six or seven?

I'd actually like to have a strong tackler on the wing.

Jebus, ITV are milking the Ads eh? Ah well, they cant do it the middle of the game. Or can they?
