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 the captains of the World Cup Quarter Finalists pictures on the bar. We've got Sam Warburton, Brian O'Driscoll, Lewis Moody, Thierry Dusautoir, John Smit, James Horwill, Felipe Contepomi and Richie McCaw.

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

Just love Walkers. Think they taste much nicer, especially the ones here in England.

Youngsters, Smiths were the ORIGINAL crisps,and you had to find the baqg of salt.


Working for this,tomorrow, Saturday and sunday...so no rugby.

I'll get to see Aus /Arg and Fra/Wal in the semis

Munsty,

I would say you are in danger of having your Passport revoked!

Have been giving some serious thought to this while in work today, When looking at the Ireland v Wales game I think a massive factor that will decide this game will be the sheer belief of the Irish team that they are here to do the business. I remember watching the 6 nations this year and an Interview with Heaslip in it. In this interview he mentioned that during pre season Deccie called all the players together and said "The only reason we are here thus year is to win the WC, anyone who doesn't think we can, there's the door". These lads have such a massive will to win this and it will carry them through I'm sure. Whereas Wales, well they seem content with the quarters.


Ireland to win by twelve

and said "The only reason we are here thus year is to win the WC,

Jays,he even writes with an accent(was going to say "brogue" but them's shoes)

The more you say it Hughie, isn't going to make it more likely to happen

And evening all, I am blydi tired today. Had my 2nd Welsh class of the week and I confess it's starting to hurt my brain. Really enjoying it though, feels nice to actually be learning things again

Hello hello hello...I see the agoraphobia support society has continued on from the old site....I hope you are all doing well...I even see some of you get out the odd time without any major consequences....well done...

It's difficult for us DOD but we're trying....

Either that or the isn't as good in here as the last place.

We are the Site, ya Cork bollix ya.

All roysh Decco? Looking forward to the SA v Ireland Final?

Fantastic use of vocabulary Mick

Evening all

Bloody knackered from 6-a-side earlier. I say 6, we had to play with 5 as one didn't turn up, and were giving our opponents on average about 15 years per man, but we won, so it's all good.

And something else that is all good, my laptop is fixed

Now all I need is for England to smash the Frenchies, and the world will be at peace!

Alright lads. Gibbo you bet..the missus caught me on the interweb the other night looking at those dodgy websites...i must admit i have been getting hooked on them over the last few weeks. I thought she would be really angry... But she would like to join in and is as excited as i am about it. We have even met some like minded people, couples, singles, male female, young old. Its a relief...so we are thinking of going further with it...so


















We are off down the travel agents to check out going to new zealand...kids can forget about Christmas ...

Good man Pete. Well done bullying the youngfellas into defeat.

Howya Hugs & Chef.

I'm watching the SLAM game again for inspiration. Christ we have such a different side now. Hayes, Horan, O Leary - all gone now. TF. SOB for Wally. Healy, Ross & Murray in.

Its HT. Don't tell me what happens...

Gibbo, as you well know, old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill

Oh, and I know what happens in that game Gibbo, as I recall you end up pished and crying!

Nice one DOD. Man I'd love to be there. Only the Kiwi's outnumber us as it is. And that could change soon...

Doubt its going to happen gibbo..but wiil check it out after sat. Anyhow thats me done in here..am teetotal these days..see you on the outside

Hughie and I are going if we get to the final. Hughies girlfriend is letting us stay with her parents. Don't tell them yet though. We want to surprise them.

I don't mean it will happen in th QF's. The SF's is where it may happen. Good to see ya anyway man.

Rav,
Are you serious? That would cost a fortune.

If I win the Staatsloterij (20 Mill) next week - I'll take ye all. 1st Class.

Gibbo, wish I was serious. I did check flights a couple of weeks ago. Around £1700 return then. Will be more now that Staggy is buying them up. He's expecting to be very busy come Monday 

EuroMillions jackpot is £100 million on Friday, sure if I win I'll take you all to see England vs. South Africa in the final folks!

Cheers Pete. I'll go even if Mongolia are playing Luxemburg.

Could you imagine the pub on tour in New Zealand, that would be some craic.

Ha! Nice one Rav. Very subtle.

Are you still up for the Lions Tour man? Got an email from Stag. He's keeping us in the loop and will send details when they come out.

It sure would be Pete. It would be brilliant actually. Id love a lot of us to go to Oz in 2013. Rava and I are defo going. MrsP is thinking about it.

Lions tour would be awesome.

Oh yes I am well up for the Lions Tour. mind you we need to agree a strategy soon. Bank account etc.
I registered interest with Trevor Brennan Tours. Didn't say I was from up here

Ha! Good move pal. Ah Stag says he is really a mellow guy. One moment of madness shouldn't take that away. He will be on Tour with us. Brent Pope too. I'd feicin love to go with Georgie Hook... if only for the laugh factor.

Yeah, we need to set up a Lions Tour Account. Maybe Stag can do it for us via the Travel Agency.

Just been reading the NZ team for Sunday. They are missing about four first choice players but are still able to field an awesome side. Imagine having guys the calibre of Mils and SBW as replacements!

Even without DC and SBW out of position on the wing, they have far to much for Argentina and will win that game at a canter.

They have some quality squad depth all right. Maybe we are making too much of a deal about Carter being out. McCaw is playing through the pain in his foot. If he goes then the balance will shift. Be like us losing BOD.

Don't want to think about that. But I'd move Bowe inside and bring Trimble on to the wing. I reckon thats a good one for the 6-N.

Lions tour 2013 is going to be awesome. A childhood friend of mine recently emigrated to Oz and me and some mates are looking to 2013 to go out and visit her. Kill 2 birds with one stone as it where.

On a similar note isn't BOD contracted (IRFU) till 2013? Brian's last hurrah?

Cant see him making the Lions Willy. His body is battered cos he's a looney for the cause. Some of the tackles he makes... An average 13 just won't get involved like he does. We will dip when he goes...

Willie being contracted won't guarantee a place on the team. If you don't believe me ask Paddy Wallace.
Gibbo I would love to have Trimble on the team but I believe Bowe is more effective on the wing. If you are looking for a ready made replacement then Cave has to be in the frame. I would love to see him get an opportunity.

Well Kidney is not afraid (anymore) to blood and trust talented youf. Something I wanted for years. He must have listened or read the Pub 2 years back.

Is it wrong for me to have the hots for Kirsty Wark?

If it is - even better.

No it would be wrong if you didn't. Carry on with the self induced satisfaction my good fellow

Aye: lions 2013 is my aim, so long as Gibbo and Rava aren't going evening all, had a nice meal at chimichanga and now a few beers roll on saturday morning: wales win and sarries cup match!!

If we're talking fit Kirsty's, Kirsty Young must be up there. Fwaaaw

Hoi Prop mate. Hows our Page 3 boy this avo?

Who is Kirsty Young? Must google it

Rav,
Soul bro.

Prop,
Why dont we all do it (Lions Tour) through the same agency? Get big discount like. Must get Stag to give facts and figures as soon as he gets em.

Do you think Kidney might consider going after the WC?
Would he see getting to QF and maybe farther as being the pinnacle or just the start?

Actually that might be Deccies swansong. Coaching the 2013 Lions!!

Provided England reach the WC final which I personally think they will, I see the Lions team having MJ written all over it. DK should still be onboard though. Along with Sir Ian.

He has a contract for another 2 years. Sooo. As long as he carries on as he is. Slowly replacing the over 30's. Changing and evolving the teams style... Id have no problem with him.

If Kidney gets us to a RWC Final and continues as he is... he will be the next Lions coach designate. Why not Jonno AND Him?

Nah you need a lone wolf calling the shots.

SNAP.

No I won't have any problem either. I was just thinking of Kidneys alternatives.
Can you really see MJ as a Lions Coach? I'm not sure.

You know, there is so much more riding on the NH side of the RWC draw. A massive amount of kudos to be earned. Specially for the Lions.

Not to mention our respective Home-countries benefit. Everyone will want to play. Its becoming more sexy than soccer. Ive noticed people who were never interested before, coming up to me over here and asking questions because I wear rugby badges on my jacket. And my car is Blue and covered in Leinster stuff.

My Dutch Doctor.. said to me the other day. "So, are Ireland going to beat Wales? What do you think of Carter's injury? yada yada yada " All in Dutch. I near keeled over.

Both my lads too. Getting up at all hours to watch it. Had NO interest in rugby a year ago. Its growing.

Actually I was going to write an article on here titled "has Rugby become the new national sport in Ireland"
It can't be far away from it!

It's association with guinness can only have helped.
