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?

Filthy-minded, both of you!

Homophobes!

Morning all.

Just gimme 11 's and I’ll be on my way. Up to ma tats in it this morning!

Who's afraid or even critical. Tis only natural. I've refereed ladies matches and there's been a fair few players who had talent

Eleven pints in eleven pint glasses or all in one giant glass with a straw?

I'll take the giant glass if possible. No straw though, hard core...

Like a Feast or the cheaper rip off Festival.

Just found out the company I left 4 weeks ago has decided to let go of 75 people. Very relieved I got out when I did.

that is quite lucky Stag..

I am off down to wexford for the weekend. looking forward to relaxing for the weekend with rugby at the forefront of it all.

hows everyone?

Yikes, that's a fair few to lay off in one go, Stag.

All's well thanks Micky, a weekend of great weather and even better rugby ahead!

I'm delighted from a Welsh perspective that Samoa came close but no more than that - but these group matches have shown how little there is between the three sides at the minute. You could argue that if Samoa had the resources and other advantages that Wales and South Africa have, they'd be better than both, let alone competetive.

You could. On the field, the two best teams in the group will go through. I think Wales are a better team and South Africa have a hard edge that has seen them past both.

But with more regular test matches and a better schedule- who knows? Sadly think this was their best chance for a while.

Good Stuff Luck.. Yeh the weather is warm but not sunny here.

down the country though supposed to be decent. so hoping for a bit of swimming in the sea

If you go swimming, see if they sell snorkels and buy one. Chances are there'll be fish around if it's a rocky shoreline. I saw some beautiful fish when I went snorkelling in Lanzarote, it was brilliant being so close to them.

Just finished watching this mornings game. Great effort from Samoa, gutted for them. Saffas look strong though, and streetwise. I can see them disposing of Australia and New Zealand and making the final, against the winner of the Wales v Ireland quarter final.

At the start of the tournament who would have said South African v Wales in the World Cup Final.

Not me. I'm not even saying it now.

Nobody. You'd have got very long odds at the bookies.

It would be similar to 2007 South Africa v England.

We could also end up having a rematch of Ireland v Australia or New Zealand v France.

I think we could beat South Africa, I don't see Ireland doing a double on Australia or shaking the Kiwi off our backs.

I genuinely think it will be a Wales v SA or Wales v NZ final. Wales just look so confident and professional right now and are growing with confidence with each game.

I thought they'd be dark horses but I thought it would be the older guys who would step up but it's been the young guys. They just look fearless.

I might change my mind after this weekend though.

I'm not saying anything.

Really looking forward to this weekend's games though.

Riley for Irish President!

I'm another of the super-cautious! I'm not prepared to comment on anyone other than the Italians. I'm keeping my daydreams and hopes to myself!

Blimey, quite in here. Everyone must be up and in the beer garden.

Just my luck earlier; I worked a bit extra yesterday so I could escape at 4 but rhen came up against something that had to be approved by a manager. Only a minor thing, but I could not finish until a manager had done their bit.

Could I find one of the feicers!! Ironically, one had been sat next to me but was on their way back to Exeter. More ironically, another one had feiced off early at 3:30 and the last one was in a meeting.

To be fair, he sorted it as soon as he came out of the meeting, but I wasn't happy at the time.

Still, if that's all I have to put up with .

At Dave. Hour to go and I think it's going to be a terrible attendance. There barely seems like anybody is here. Maybe our dire performance v Aironi has scared people off

Can't wait to be loud in there though regardless. I'm very tired from last night however. Hope it's a better performance than the Aironi game. I predicted Ulster by 7 or something on Sportguru I think (oh the shame).

Playing for Risca up Pontypool Utd tomorrow. Would love to get a win, but I think we'll be in for a long afternoon.

Ah Rev, I never back against my side on SportGuru even when I think we're going to get hammered! It's a weird superstition I have.

I don't like it Notch. I've only backed Dragons in the Aironi game I think.

Getting a bit busier around here now.

Risca - enjoy the match regardless...no doubt we'll see your mush on the telly!

Hooray it's the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've backed Ulster myself, but I really enjoy watching the dragons when they are in full flow

Cén t-am is kick off?

Thomond - it's on BBC 2 wales/NI at 7:00, kick off is five past.

Hope we won't see too much of that tonight then

Good luck to both teams, but come on Ulster...

Wouldn't mind seeing Chavhanga at full tilt tonight. We'll see.

Cari, I do love hogging the camera like

Enjoy the game Rev and good luck with your own match tomorrow!

On a side note, South West Trains won passenger carrier of the year in the national train awards last week, and as a thank you the gave us all a £50 high street voucher. It arrived today and I used it to order my guitar. All done expect it in the post next week

It's hard to know what to expect here. Ulster have 13 players missing. I understand the Dragons are similarly decimated so neither side can complain, but it's adds a real wildcard feel to this tie.

Next time you are over I'll have you busking for your soup!

Soup in a basket. was all the craze in the 70s and 80s

Nice one Hughie

The new stand at Dave looks swanky on the telly.

I'm very nervous. We have a brilliant/flaky thing going on right from 9 back. So if our forwards get on top we could play really well, start making a few errors... it would be bad.

Scottish ref, ah no wait he's from Belfast. Que the conspirators

Geraint O'Driscoll now that's confusing

Best of luck to both teams. Nice evening for rugby. The commentator just pointed out this time last year it was the Ryder Cup in Newport....and that was monsoon weather.

hughie1986 wrote:Scottish ref, ah no wait he's from Belfast. Que the conspirators

Conspirators should look at our record when he's reffed us! Not. Good.

Would be slightly hilarious to see the reaction if we won with a massively controversial decision, just for the conspiracy theorists edification. But I hope it doesn't come to that.

It's been monsoon weather here. Awful stuff. As for the Dragons, they have to watch it. They've been very indisciplined.

This ref is awful fair play.

New stand at Rodney Parade looks fantastic. Great stuff for the Dragons there

I hope Tonderai Chavanga doesn't get the ball. Not because of his searing pace, I just don't think Jim Neilly on BBC NI can handle the name.

OK, we know Mike Pool was a cage fighter.

Ooh there's exciting!
