The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Thu 08 Sep 2011, 1:05 pm

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 Wink

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

Ale

13 off side, perchance?

by Cymroglan Fri 09 Sep 2011, 8:48 pm

Please do keep calling them by the town or city name I love it,
Wind each other up as much as you can possibly can with a bit of luck it may get a region here in the north much sooner.

I'll always correct people's ignorance. No excuse really. Been in existence for 8 years now.

Steffan Jones wants to evaluate his choice of boots. Slipped twice already. We really miss our 5 in the World Cup, especially Brewy.

Tom Riley is a greedy Flip

sexy try by the Dragons, just lovely that.

by Glas a du Fri 09 Sep 2011, 8:51 pm

They should have fast tracked Wrexham into the first division in the early 90's. Seeing the Dragons having their second tuning in a week hardly inspires me to think we need five regions.

by **Notch** Fri 09 Sep 2011, 8:52 pm

Oh, it's a great breakout try from the Dragons! Leinster fell completely asleep for a second.

by Guest Fri 09 Sep 2011, 8:53 pm

brilliantly set up and finished by Tovey it was.

21-10 now.

by Cari Fri 09 Sep 2011, 8:53 pm

Well done Dragons. game on now...

Erm? Maybe not. I'm not having a go, but they can't keep their own ball.

Interesting description!! And it looks like Murray's got it.

Gibbo is the beeb website not giving you the link?!

by **Notch** Fri 09 Sep 2011, 8:56 pm

No, they're not going to make a comeback as it stands. Yellow card now as well.

What they should have done was stop changing the rules when any North Wales side gained promotion'
They blocked my local side LLangefni from being promoted

Oh dear...man in the bin.

by Cari Fri 09 Sep 2011, 8:59 pm

Never heard of a player being referred to as a "Caerphily born academy product" before. Like I said, this guy does the shipping news normally....

by Guest Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:00 pm

all running rugby tries are sexy imo.

tie break time in the 4th set according the Beeb's live text (which I know is a bit slow). Please Murray just win it.

by Cari Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:02 pm

Jebus. Since when did nine o'clock become an acceptable time to do DIY??!! furious

by prop_lyd Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:02 pm

Bad Boy Willis!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahaha

And dreamer: for sexy rugby come watch the sarries laughing

by **Notch** Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:03 pm

Leinster have lost a lot of their rhythm since Cooney has come on at 9, and now the discipline is going as well.

by Guest Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:03 pm

it isn't, you can call the 101 line (I think that's the number!) and report them for being anti-social, or noise pollution etc

If they keep doing that for a few days in a row Cari, tis definitely what I'd do!

by **Notch** Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:04 pm

I think generally any time between 9am and 11pm is fair play?

Fair enough, fair enough, but how does that make a north Wales region viable when they already have four set up. In theory it's lovely, but in practice? I'll consider any reasonable arguments but currently I'm not convinced.

by **Notch** Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:05 pm

Andy Murray has beaten John Isner

by Cari Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:05 pm

Dreamer - oh I will. I've had to use 101 before. Just irks me that some people are so pig ignorant. They've got all weekend to do it, and they choose now.

by **Notch** Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:06 pm

The commentators on RTE keep calling Jamie Smith Steffan Jones Rolling Eyes

7am to 11pm to be exact. It's still Flip rude IMO.

by Guest Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:07 pm

it's up to 9pm I think Notch for it to be acceptable noise levels. Something like that, although I'm honestly not sure Headscratch

Edit: Cari's just given the definite times so never mind!

And yay Murray! made hard work of it, but got there in the end. Semi-final form him again then!

by Glas a du Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:07 pm

That's why you shouldn't carry the ball in one hand Isa.

Is there much wrong with that? Just saying where he's from. Let's people know where he's come from (especially Dragons fans who might not know). Apparently he's from Caldicot, not Caerphilly according to one of the locals here though.

by prop_lyd Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:08 pm

Silly subs time......is this commentator reading his kids a bedtime story?!

Dreamer - I've got to know the Environmental Protection Act 1993 because of the ignorant people 've had to put up with over the years. Wink

Risca - no, I wasn't on about the caerphily bit, it was calling him "an academy product" just sounded a bit posh Sorry

by **Notch** Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:12 pm

Oh dear, Berquist stretchered off. Not good.

by Guest Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:13 pm

I thought he just got winded in the tackle, didn't see anything happen to his leg, not good!

by PenfroPete Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:13 pm

G'day from Sydney Airport folks, where it's 06:10 tomorrow if you catch my drift. I love flat-bed seats !!! Flight to Wellington at 08:55. Just off to get a coffee. Prop, good luck tomorrow, PM me the score thumbsup

How many of that third will pay to watch rugby matches week in week out in Wrexham or Bangor? It's not just the set up costs, it's the closing down costs of the Dragons (joke).

Morning! You still haven't got there? Wow it IS a long journey to Porthcawl!! Have a good trip.

by Guest Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:16 pm

Penfro! nice to hear from you again, not long now till you finally get there! Hug

by Thomond Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:16 pm

Gibbo,myp2p is kind of running still,they have server issues and accortding to their tweet stream they hope to get back to the old domain in the next while. I will send you a link to the temporary service,it probably won't help you for rugby though. Penfro,stop rubbing it in! Wink

You could chuck that argument at me if you had full stadiums week in week out, I travel down South on a regular basis and so do many others from up North.

Penfro you need to edit that to Lydney airport...not long till your in Bognor Regis!

And Carr takes another....Dragons guy needs new boots/studs me thinks.

by Guest Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:18 pm

another good try for Carr there. He's going to be v good for Leinster this season i think if teams allow him too much space.

by Cari Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:18 pm

Great try from Carr. MOTM? They'll go for a BP try now.

Looked like his knee, they didn't show the salient part of the replay where he was in a ruck.

Nacewa man of the match; can they get the bonus? Well deserved try for Carr there.

by PenfroPete Fri 09 Sep 2011, 9:19 pm

CARI - we had a stop at Sully (Singapore) for 3 nights Very Happy

Then an overnight to Bridgend (Sydney), get to Porthcawl (Wellington) 14:00 local time Saturday (today). On Monday our Qantas flight was delayed for 12 hours but they bumped us on to a BA flight so actually got to S'pore 30 mins early. The flight from S'poer to Sydney was great, we had flat-bed seats Cool
