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 Wink

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

Ale

Just read there that Namibia missed 43 tackles and made 80, which is exactly the same as they did against the Boks. They're consistent if nothing else...

by MrsP Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:31 am

Seems like the second half was a closer affair!

Well done Wales.

And, since I was out during the game and didn't "see" you after, well done the Os yesterday!

You had another fanastic sporting weekend Cari!

Kiwi, just a comment. Far too many ugly mugs up on the wall. We need to get some pics of Sam Fox and Linda Lusardi up there.

by Cari Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:35 am

Mickado - now that is consistent. Odd. At times they looked like they didn't even bother attempting to tackle to be honest.

MrsP - yeah good weekend. Really needed it to be honest. Commiserations for the result yesterday. Smile

Off to potter about around the house now....

If Bristol City had won i'd have been happy: Glos win, Lydney win, Sarries beat Aberbargoed, Wales win, Leeds Rhinos win, Chelsea win.

by MrsP Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:44 am

I bet "Our man in NZ" is a happy camper too then!

Well done.... Headscratch

...all those teams Prop mentioned!

by littleswannygirl Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:48 am

Morning people cuppa

Well done Wales this morning

Can't believe it's Monday again already! Weekends just go far too quickly. Better show willing and go do some work I guess Sad

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:54 am

Bore da pawb / good morning all, just popping in like Wet Wet Wet did before they souled out. I'll have a cup of tea in a pint glass, please.

by MrsP Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:59 am

Is that a pint of tea or just a bit of tea in the bottom of a pint glass?

If it's one of those glasses with no handle you will either burn your hands or have to drink cold tea!

Just have cuppa

Morning all,

Good win for Wales this morning, wouldnt read to much into it though, just like with Ireland yesterday. Results like that will just give a confidence boost to the squad nothing more. You don't win World Cups by putting scores on the minnos, need to do it when it counts against the big boys in the QF SF and Final. But my god its set up for a whopper knock out tournament!!

by Mickado Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:07 am

True that Hughie, they almost feel like a no win situation. Hammer them and people talk about how you could have put more points up, white line fever or whatever, if it's close then the world seems to be falling down. Wales, Ireland and England done exactly what they needed in their games this weekend, win well, secure the BP, try not to get injured. It's game on now...

by Hound_of_Harrow Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:09 am

Good win for Wales. A diffetent beast from 4 years ago.

Morning all.

by Cymroglan Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:12 am

Morning HH lovely day here on the Costa del Anglesey.

That's it Mick, but England Ireland and Wales all did what was needed of them this weekend. Just get through the next and them we can really start to dream/shoite ourselves Wink

Was supposed to be going to a wedding this weekend with all my mates. I’m really confused about what to do now. I’m all over the place today actually, I should probably go home… Sad

by MrsP Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:24 am

Bikkies,

by littleswannygirl Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:50 am

by Mickado Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:59 am

by littleswannygirl Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:07 am

Hughie, think it's burpday today and drinkies day tomorrow.

by Suspicious lurker Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:15 am

I just wasn't sure is all.

Ireland v SA in the final looks like a good bet in Paddys @ 33/1 hmmm worth a punt???

by Mickado Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:32 am

Just read Masi is a doubt for the Ireland game. Hope he makes it.

by Suspicious lurker Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:40 am

I'm going with Ireland by 20-25 this weekend

by Cymroglan Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:44 am

You will win but Italy are no mugs they know how to spoil a game.

by Cari Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:44 am

Have you placed that bet Hughie? Might win yourself some extra spends....

by littleswannygirl Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:47 am

Drinkies defo tomorrow Hughie, that's the important bit Very Happy

I hate databases! According to DHL Montevideo is an invalid city! The Montevideans may have something to say about that. Sheesh! Rolling Eyes

by Cari Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:49 am

Sounds like Sat Nav Swanny...places aren't recognised. Perhaps they spell it differently on their database, sometimes that makes searching difficult.

by Suspicious lurker Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:55 am

Drinkies most defo are tomorrow swanny, that I'm.sure of!!!

Make a surprise visit, go on you know you want to!!!

by Cymroglan Mon Sep 26, 2011 11:55 am

Don't DHL only need the country to give you a quote.

I'm not going to even try to predict Wales's score against Fiji. All I care about is that we win. Please, Jebus, let us win.

by Cari Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:03 pm

Good news for Irish supporters:

Lucky same here but I'm confident that we have what it takes.

I've no idea what to go for on Sportsguru with that one....I'll leave it until the last minute to make my prediction there. I hope that the boys won't be harbouring any concerns about 2007, and will go hell for leather to win it. Might as well cause the only way is up for them if they do!

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:08 pm

I'm sure we have what it takes too, Cymro. The question is whether we produce it on the day.

by Cymroglan Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:10 pm

We cant rely on South Africa doing the business for us they will more than likely rest their key players.
It's a must win game for us and I think we now have the right mindset not to dwell on past events.

This. Just this.

Looks like I missed the more exciting half of the rugby, really chuffed for Scott Williams getting so many tries on his debut, and Lloyd Williams getting one too. Can't wait to watch it all now after work.

Just double checked my welsh course which I was convinced was starting today but it isn't, it start tomorrow thank goodness! Had a rubbish night's sleep and didn't fancy going to a class tonight at all.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:16 pm

So if we beat Fiji and Samoa beat South Africa, will it come down to points difference between us and Samoa for the second spot?

by Cymroglan Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:18 pm

Yes http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/home/standings/pool=D/index.html

But at the moment we are second.

by MBTGOG Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:24 pm

Morning all. Absolutely cream crackered. Didn't get in till quarter past 5.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:29 pm

That would explain why you think it's still morning, Munsty! Wink

by Cari Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:37 pm

Munsty - I see normal service has resumed in your student life then! Where were you this time?

by MBTGOG Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:38 pm

by MBTGOG Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:44 pm

Cari,

Went out to a club. Reggie Yates was playing. Music was rubbish and my hearing has been impaired but really good night. Ended up at a friends house.

by MBTGOG Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:58 pm

There's a debate on another thread that I don't think there is much point getting involved in but does Croft spend his whole time out wide apart from line outs and scrums?

Lucky

1. You will comfortably beat Figi based on Your/their performances.
2. SA will comfortably beat Samoa based on their respective performances.

by Luckless Pedestrian Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:04 pm

Rava, I'm glad you decided to start posting here again!

by mickyt Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:08 pm

Aftenoon all.

caught the first 25 minutes of the Wales game this morning. Nam struggled to get any concrete set of phases going.

when they did get going their 1st and 2nd phases looked exciting enough but just didn't have the experience, energy, or tehnique to get it going more.

I think they did get a bum deal with 4 games in 14 days. I think the RFU need to do a bit more in the next few years to help teams like these progress onto the next level.

Hope I find you all well.

by MBTGOG Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:11 pm

No one can stay away.

Remember when Rev had his strop. That was funny. Wink
