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, Hika Reid, The Beast, Colin Windon, 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?

ha definitely a fire Pete!

Looks like it...

Just tuned in- come on Scotland!! Believe!

Needs to be a bigger margin in the end doesn't it?

8 point gap needed Notch

Good grief how did Johnny miss that DG?!

Jeez I just saw the Tonga result! Brilliant stuff!

What a day for me to not watch any rugby but the second half of this game... think I'll be on ITV player later!

What a chance! Danielli... aw, brilliant. If De Luca picked that up...

the Tonga match was brilliant Notch!

DeLuca...how could you not pick that up??

Morning all from sunny Vienna. Just a quick check-in for me as we're about to start the drive over to Prague.

Great win Tonga, come on Scotland!

This is one exciting game. It won't be over until the final whistle. Very close as well I think. It's all about the points...

Game over, Ashton try. Hard luck Scotland

Congratulations England.

Bad luck Scotland

But well done England

Congrats to the English regs. Well played.

Asbo

Genuinely gutted for Scotland. So close. Deserved to win the game. Kick in the teeth they didn't get to do that.

Moving on it seems England are in a similar position to us Irish in terms of a problem child at 10. Must be Flood now surely? As to who goes through to the semi, it's a hard one to call. Depends which French side decides to turn up I guess.

Apparently Dan Carter is out of the rest of the tournament...and there's something up with Richie McCaw....??

Having seen what I have seen over the past 24 hours, both on and off the pitch, I am sticking with my South Africa vs. Wales/Ireland final prediction.

aye Cari, the GG mentioned in on the thread about Steyne being out for SA. Looks like both could miss the rest of the tournament, or well McCaw might be able to play a couple more, but not 3 in a row.

SA without Frans Steyne though Pete?

ooh dear....

Just checked my SG picks - I was way off with the Tongan result, but almost spot on picking England by 6.

NZ won't reach the final without Carter, in fact they won't get past the Aussies either. Unfair to say they'll choke again as Carter is a major player.

Pete I'd love that final - I hope your prediction is correct!

I haven't been overly impressed with England, but if we manage to get past Italy they won't face a Tri Nations side until the Final and have a quarter against a side that have only beat Japan and Canada to get there! So there's plenty of time for them to build up some momentum.

The Ireland vs Italy game is massive, not just for the two teams but for the whole shape of the tournament. Nervous? Aye, a wee bit!

I had Scotland by 4. Shoulder to shoulder with my Scottish brothers. Oh no wait they're crying on my shoulder.

Absolutely terrible dreamer, they may have to make do with Jean de Villiers at 12 now, you've got to feel for the poor little lambs!

haha aye, true that.

Someone tie me to a chair in here please and stop me from going onto the match thread!!!

One team look like they want to win this more.

That is all for now.

Ha ha ha ha ...you could almost say England don't deserve it!!!

Gatts - do yourself a huge favour aye and stop being such a WUM. Please?

Thanks for your input Gatts, England were poor first half but got the job done. End of.

You forgot fact, Pete

I think dreamer, you wil find that is in fact, FACT!

Right, roll on 1 o'clock and the next big game - Gloucester vs. London Irish at Kingsholm!!!

I see so when one has a laugh at a mod then it is WUMMING? Jeez you guys are proper little empire builders aren't you

no it's a wum when you follow a poster around to pick at their posts Gatts and make wum comments. Nothing whatsoever to do with moderation status.


ah man, I'm feeling sick with nerves about the Wales v Fiji match already. I can't even put into words how scared I am about it.

Gatts

Chill fella, I am aware that you are trying to have a little wind up at mine and England's expense, it's not a problem, just as long as you can take a little gentle poke back when Wales find a banana skin under their collective boot.

aaaaargh they're showing highlights of wales v fiji in 2007, I'd managed to avoid this for 4 years!

I'll see how long I can stick with them...

But it is though when you use your big red pen isn't it dreamer. I also seriously think that suggesting I am following a poster indicates a rather paranoid and proprietary approach to this chat room. I went into the pub and blow me find a completely contradictory post form someone so choose to comment. You can characterise that as following someone around if you choose but you would be way off the mark. I consider that allegation to be a WUM.

right okay, whatever Gatts

huh, i didn't remember us being so far behind Fiji in 2007.

Gatts, what you did was choose to take the comment I made at half time out of context to highlight the point you wanted to make. Like I said, it's not a problem, but I will make sure I'm up for the Fiji game tomorrow

Anyone see Williams' try against Fiji? The pre-score dive? Shane Williams also arrogant and punchable? Funny cause at the time I don't remember calls of disrespect and arrogance. Must be my memory

What Shane? oh yeah he used to be an arrogant little Poopie. He's from my neck of the woods and completely loved himself when he was younger, driving round in his stupid car. Matured now though

He was 30.

which is younger then he is now, no?

I'm not a massive fan of either Williams or Ashton to be honest Thunor. I think they both rate quite highly on the punchability scale. Let's just gloss over the prominent place Ronan O'Gara occupies in this conversation though. Selective amnesia is essential for the safe navigation of the internet

And Ashton is 24 and people were suggesting he should have been banned after doing the dive against Italy for unsporting behaviour. Point is no-one cared when it was Williams.

Is it just because Ashton played league? Or that he's a northerner?

Fair point Notch, and not to leave the Scots out, that Allan Jacobsen does have a rather slappable fisog as well!!!

Fair play Engerland today, stuck with it to the end, ill be shouting my head off for them against france

No LDC Pete, you made the point for me and are doing so again. There was only one context, that of the game we just watched. You interpret any challenge to england as wum not as a fair appraisal of a poor (your word) performance. You yourself acknowledge england are poor on one thread and on another jump on a post confirming that. If you want to try and justify that feel free, i know what i read.

England didn't deserve it, were clinical and the W is all that counts.

Fill yer boots if Fiji wins, what you write really has no bearing on pretty much anything much as you would like to believe it does. Be careful not to WUM won't you.

And feel free to have the last word as well

eh, who said he should be banned?

Think it's more a media problem Thunor, the English press does it's players no favours mate.

And I dunno why I don't like him, sometimes you just get players like that. Like I don't like Yachvilli for France, and I blooming love the French rugby team. Just one of those things.

Back on 606. Can't access it now. The English press has nothing to do with the English team. Why would the behave of one group affect how people feel about another group? It would be like hating the All Blacks because Ghost is a WUM. Or in fact hating England because of HERSH.
