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?

Ale

Lucky said Joubert was good, no controversy thankfully.

Cheers Cari......all I need then is a Glos and Leeds Rhinos win too!!

by Breadvan Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:05 am

at the lashed up crowd watching the game. Looks like someones front room than a rugby club... Shocked

by **Notch** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:07 am

Well done Wales. Much the better side and more deserving of a spot in the semi-final.

Disappointment for Ireland. Has the feeling of the end of an era.

by littleswannygirl Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:09 am

Congratulations to our Welsh regs, and commiserations to our Irish regs.

Great game!

by **Notch** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:10 am

It's hard to know who to support now. I think I will go for New Zealand. They know this gut-wenching feeling in World Cups we now have all too well, and their home fans have given magnificent backing to Ireland throughout. With everything else, including the earthquake in Christchurch, it's hard to begrudge them anything. I'll be cheering them on from this point in.

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:11 am

What time's the England game on??

Indeed it does but then again it could be the start of a new one, we have alot of talent.
Heslip looks gutted he can barely speak in his interview.

by Irish Curry Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:12 am

Cari, 8.30 I think.

by prop_lyd Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:12 am

8.30 k.o cari.

Anyone else notice that it was a hooker who kicked the ball off the pitch.....front row finishing the game Wink

by Cymroglan Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:13 am

Prop it was a attempt at a drop goal.

by MrsP Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:13 am

Haven't read back so sorry if I'm repeating what has already been said.

clap

Well done Wales. Worth every point of that win. Out played us in pretty much every department. Will be cheering you on in the next game, and (hopefully) the next too!

So disappointed but so proud of my lads too.

Come on England!!!

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:15 am

Great game Wales. Immense defence.

by Cymroglan Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:15 am

Thank you MrsP I understand how you feel.

Nah if it was it would have gone over!! Us hookers know how to kick!!

by Breadvan Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:17 am

Right.....thats a top game of rugby out the way. Bring on the Eng v France slugfest! Erm

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:18 am

I don't think I was prepared for a Welsh win....I must be in shock. Feel calm rather than elated.

by MBTGOG Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:19 am

I'll be interested to see if people blame Kidney after this.

Just off the phone with my sister. She is devastated. Said some things she'll probably laugh about in years to come.

So Ulster get trounced at home, the Northern Ireland football farce continues, Ireland lose and I enter the kitchen in search of sollace in the form of bacon. Search unsuccessful.

Seriously what is the point?

by prop_lyd Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:21 am

ooo how hard must that have been for Steve Ryder to say an outstanding win for wales??!!

No bacon? NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... Hug

oooh Willy Hug

by Glas a du Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:23 am

Willy, hold it together man. If we ever meet I'll cook you cig moch Cymru (salted fat basically) with laverbread (seaweed) and cockles.

by Suspicious lurker Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:23 am

What ive felt what I've known, never shine through in what I've shown. Never be, never see, won't see what might have been.

QUITE APT FOR THE FIRST SONG ON MY IPOD AFTER THAT GAME

Congrats Wales, outplayed us in every facet of the game. Still GUTTED.COM

by prop_lyd Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:24 am

Willy....is there cheese??? Have a cheese toastie.

by Irish Curry Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:24 am

Well here comes either the most boring match ever or France being unleshed and running riot, Alle le Blue!!

by MrsP Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:24 am

I know what you mean WillyG.

All our hopes for sporting success this weekend now rest on the wee fella's rugby team.

Although we did have bacon sarnies for brekky. Sure I'll see if there's any left and make you one just to cheer you up!

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:25 am

Willy - it's OK, supermarkets are 24 hour now...nip up there and get yourself all the ingredients for a big Ulster fry up. I'm having mine in a bit.

by **rodders** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:27 am

Wales were awesome tonight. I hope all the Welsh are enjoying a guinness

.

Best of luck for the rest of the tournament but on that form they shouldn't fear anyone, and I mean anyone.

Time for Ireland to lick the wounds and rebuild for the 6N. There's plenty of positives and no need to be too despondant even if it hurts like feck right now Sad

I don't think so, he had us peak at the World Cup and got our first win against a 3N side outside Ireland since the 70s. This has been our best ever World Cup on paper.

by Irish Curry Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:29 am

I'd have to agree I wouldn't blame Kidney, he has taken us so far after last time

Rodders. There's still the Heino to look forward to soon as well. Irish teams could have an advantage in that because they'll get their best players back sooner. Hug

Oh! That means T. will be back in Ospreylia soon!

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:33 am

Good luck England regs.

by MBTGOG Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:33 am

I've got a lot to say about the game but I think I'll leave the inquest until Monday.

by Mrs Penfro Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:34 am

Penfro's very happy as well, I've just spoken to him. I didn't see him on the telly but it's been sky+ so he can review it when he eventually gets home....! Now for the next match - Allez les Bleus!

by **rodders** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:35 am

Me neither. He got us to a good place and we topped a very tough group. We came across and unfire Welsh side and you just have to hold your hands up.

I think we got some things wrong with selection and tactics but I think ultimately Wales were stronger and have peaked at the right time.

by Guest Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:36 am

ha I bet he's happy Mrs Penfro! although that's probably an understatment Smile

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:37 am

Munsty - I'm sure the game will be thoroughly dissected over the weekend. I've also noticed that Earls resembles yourself a bit now he's grown his hair Smile

MrsPenfro - I bet he's over the moon! Great hindsight getting those semi tickets eh?

This seems to be a rough old game here....massive hit by Tuilagi.

by Mrs Penfro Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:39 am

He didn't sound too bad, but it's only 8pm over there. The carnage will come later! Erm

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:42 am

Have you seen the tache on Lievremont?! Erm

Yeah I think he should be the one to bring us to the next world cup, Expert at bringing in young players which is what we need.

I wonder who our next captin will be?

by MBTGOG Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:45 am

I think I saw Penfro. Is he wearing one of those Aussie style hats?

by Mrs Penfro Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:46 am

Doubt it. He's probably got his Sarries beanie on.

It's a slug off his BLT.

by Irish Curry Sat 08 Oct 2011, 8:52 am

France are just slotting the pens, pretty even so far.
