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?

Had some travellers at my door yesterday offering to paint some tarmac on my drive.

Huw, do you mean Ian 'glass knees' Ferris and Sean 'one trick' O'Brien?

WHO IS IAN FERRIS???

Double glazing salesman who specialises in caravans.

I'm not sure who this Ian fella is but Stephen did indeed lay driveways for some time after he left school.

Seems to have done him no harm at all!

Is that a deliberate spelling of glazing bearing in mind who you are replying to (Glas?)

Oops = that looks silly since the spelling was corrected!

Watched some Setanta when I was home. Neil Francis and Matt Williams are in a world of their own. Very entertaining viewing though.

I'm sure they are both very positive about the Ulstermen in the squad!

It was the tirade on England that I enjoyed.

Glas, Ferris is the best fella on one leg since Long John Silver! You're calling SOB a one trick pony. So Andy Powell,Mike Phillips,Jamie Roberts have multiple tricks up their sleeve do they?

We don't have Setanta.

I'm sure it was entertaining.

Ian Ferris sounds better in my view.

Roars might have a broken collarbone. Our lineout could now be as bad as Wales'. Next in line? Mike Sherry? Andy kyriacou? I'm running out of names, Strauss isn't IQ until January right?

Glas a du wrote:Ian Ferris sounds better in my view.

Will I? Nah, I'll leave it!

We are going to have to get some kind of chill devise for some of the guys.

Otherwise they will never make it to Saturday!

Glas,

I suspect you might be able to remember his name after the game next week!

Matt Williams offers good insight when he is on Newstalk. Franno is an awful langer though.

Easy now, there's a week to go. Two of those three named may not start anyway.

I love it how you get touchy when you're nervous.

Touchy? Not all biy, just like messing with people's heads. I'm surprised by how brash the Welsh posters outside are though.

Oh no! I'm not even going to look.

Actually I think we should throw this one. I think that of the two sides Ireland are best equipped to beat England in the next round.

Oh, hang on, France may win that quarter final...

Well there's something I never thought I would live to see.

Glas agreeing with me!

Infact, I can barely see it even now.

I know how much it must have hurt to type that Glas!

I thought you lot were into forgiveness of the confessional and all that, one little mistake!

The vital question is - who is reffing?

If it's somebody who is tight at scrum and breakdown and it's dry I see us taking it, if it's a Frenchman, or New Zealander and it's wet, you will win. It really is too close to call otherwise.

That's a bit gay for me.

Glas,you really think we're a bunch of cheaters don't you?

I really like Glas. He's a bollox. I'm a bollox. We're a great bunch of lads altogether

Look I say we just have the buzz for the week, let anyone say anything they want, we all know its just fun and games, so lads do your best cause I know I will be

Thomond wrote:Glas,you really think we're a bunch of cheaters don't you?

Leopards don't change their spots, Leopards, cheaters get it!

It'll end in tears I tell youse!

Rice pudding if you behave.

Indeed. I'm going to keep my counsel as best I can

Moment to say, Declan Kidney is still a real gentleman of the game.

Of course, we won't know precisely what he said. That's his way.

Wales are going DOWN! Book those plane tickets home Boyos...

You wish!!!!

I was right then, Prop is Welsh?

Yep you were right

Just got back from the beach......think I need to eat something to top up on this mornings fry up

Ah Prop,

It was the support of the Cherry and Whites that had me confused.

I just DID'NT want to offend.

Why Glos by the way?[/b]

Because I grew up in the Forest of Dean and it's where I started playing rugby......plus they are the best

Just noticed that I had left a fairly important word out of my previous post.

That'll learn me to try to cook and post at the same time!

Wales cheat as much. Their backrow are in from the side or off their feet. Every side cheats. Get over it ya sausage.

Who you calling a sausage chipolata?

You do know you're only encouraging him, don't you Thomond?

Yep,it's all part of the banter. First two Welsh tries,shambolic defending . If a Junior 3 team defended like that I would be peed off.

ah just settling down to watch the whole match again on S4C. Lovely stuff.

T - there was some superb handling for Scott Williams' try no? not all was down to Fiji's bad defending. Just pointing that out like....

When you get that kind of space it's easy to put it through the hands.

of course.

When you make that kind of space yes it is.

They didn't have to make space Fiji were falling off tackles left right and centre it was like watching an U-8s match where that one big fella gets the ball!

Thomond I thought Ireland played well today well deserved win and I was also very happy with how Wales performed.

Wales did play well I didn't say they didn't. I just though Fiji were pathetic. They had plenty of time to put it through the hands and the Welsh offloading was great. They played well but it still doesn't mean Fiji weren't rubbish.

Fiji were their own worse enemies. For a lot of the first half they actually had the better in some of the stats such as territory but they just couldn't do anything with it. Partly down to individual errors, partly us having a superb defence. I expected them to be better to be honest.
