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 current props' pictures on the bar. We've got Castrogiovanni, Beast, the Franks brothers, Mas, Tonga'uiha, Roncero, Cian Healey (as demanded by Hughie), Stevens, Murray, Mike Ross, Adam Jones and Steenkamp all in action. Graffiti's a banning offence

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

Is this the same team that ran Ireland close in the 07 WC?

Risca and Rhino will be chuffed - tries from Faletau and Brew

The headmaster of Teilo Sant primary school has delayed registration this morning so that fathers can watch this match with their sons before taking them to school. Makes you proud

Aren't mam's or daughters allowed to watch it Glas?

Well yes, I suppose.

Here's hoping Wales wake up soon. Jenkins not up to match fitness-however much I rate him he is struggling in the scrums and lucky that Walsh seems to prefer him!!

Prop - it's their composure I'm worried about. Giving away penalties like sweeties.

At least we're not happy with performances like this anymore in comparison to a few years ago when we were happy with below par performances.

Sweeties! I likes sweeties I do.

True. I just don't want them to give away points having done the hard bit (getting the tries) with silly penalties....and they did just there again. They get possession and territory....and give it away! very frustrating.

AWJ should have kept that alive.

Morning Everyone. I'm still tired.

Happy Birthday Asbo. 99 candles in your this morning. Have a whiskEy later on me

Happy Birthday Asbo!

Hope you have a great day for it.

Happy Birthday ASBO!!

Really don't like the way Byrne leads with his studs showing when jumping, he could seriously injure someone one day.

oh unlucky Namibia, penalty off the post there.


Penblwydd Hapus i Asbo

These blinking jerseys with the inverted 't' on the chest! Whenever I see them head on, I imagine what they would look like on a woman.

Penblwydd hapus 'cahyd a bod ond cant ohonom dal yn fyw'

Cari, Prop, Dreamer, Glas, happy with the first half then?

Glas - they're like the Irish disco shirts with the shiny panels on their pecks. Look great on the players, but on me or anyone else...

Ish Rava. Our defence has been very good, Halfpenny, Warbs and Jon Davies are having good games. My only gripe is the silly penalties Wales are making which are undoing all the effort when they're in a good position to score. The Namibians have been very good at pushing us back and forcing some errors as well, so we need to watch that.

I just read there that they are playing well but as individuals looking to impress rather than as a team. I only saw a wee bit at the end of the first half so can't comment.

Sounds like Wales are doing well!

Gotta do the school run!

Keep up the good work!

Yes Rava I am. No game flows one way for 80 minutes. Namibia are stopping us but doing nothing themselves. Walsh is (naturally) giving them the 50-50s. Ah sure it will be just fine.

Rava: so-so, something to remember is that s.a were only 31-0 up at half time. Think Warburton needs to be wrapped up now!

Just need to keep the ball in the backs because Namibia are matching at the breakdown. And support runners!!!!

That was better. Good support from the players and Williams gets over for the bonus point try. Great introduction to world cup rugby for him.

Morning MrsP

What's the score folks?

Gethin!!!!!!!! he's back

Kado: 36-0

Melon just scored after a good run - how's that for a front rower?! He hasn't done that since 2005.

Mick it's 36 - 0.

That was a great run from Jenkins.

That was an equally great run from a second rower.

Rava - yeah good intercept. He's knackered now, bless him. Can tell he's not used to that!

Good conversion too. 36 - 7.

Thanks all.
Hidings...

...and the try scorer is called Heinz. Could say he's full of beans...

Cari you've had too much sleep.

Terrible wasn't it Rava?

North in with a try. 43 - 7.

Better stuff from Wales. Good try. Now kick on and get a few more. I have you by 62 in SG and I need the bonus points.

That's more like it!!

Dreamer will be happy Jon Davies in with the try 50 - 7.

North is with try no.2 thanks to superb support from Byrne.

57 - 7. Converted by Priestland on for Wellies.

Scott Williams gets his hat trick. 64 - 7.

Andy Powell to drive the Namibia player off?!

He's actually having a good game for a change!

Lloyd Williams gets his first try. Conversion bounces off the post.

69 - 7.

Feic, no more Wales. Thats my 62 points.

Too late

Sorry, Byrne's just got the tenth... 74 - 7. Conversion missed.

Well done Wales. But no need whatsoever for the last two tries. See you in the QF.

81 - 7 ater a try from AWJ. Very exciting end to the match. I think Du Plesis was the MOTM.

Oh come on! I hate when they do that.

I'm assuming he was Mickado cause the camera was lingering on him and his team mates were congratulating him, but the commentator didnt say anything and his glory was ruined by Wales scoring a try

I literally didn’t see 1 second of the game.

But I would find it very hard to believe that the best player on the pitch was on the team that just conceded 81 points.

I'm just going by what I saw. I don't know how they pick them at the world cup though, so I don't know. Maybe he'd done something else or it's his birthday
