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 pub regulars. We've got the big group pic from the HEC final in Cardiff, plus insets of ll those who couldn't make it

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

Le SNAP!

Chef

I have no doubt that France have a 'great' performance in them, and so they should, they have World Class individuals running through their team. Whether they turn up and play in the final and win, or they shuffle off meakly with their heads shoved up their orses is neither here nor there for me.

Their performances have at times been shockingly poor and for me, by them making the final, rugby was the loser today.

Gibbo

My point is not about whether they win or lose, we all know they have it in them to turn up and trounce anyone on any given day, my point is they have short changed their fans with what they have given and the sooner Lievremont is replaced by PSA the better for me.

Can you honestly say that you would be happy to have mad Marc lauded as a World Cup winning coach?

I agree on both points Peader. ML to go. And would not be happy with the smarmy feicer winning the RWC. But. It doesn't change the fact that I believe the players themselves, have it in them to win it. Be just like em, the mad basterds. French Rugby and logic in one sentence?

In that vein, I think they have more chance of beating NZ than Oz. They would just love to spoil that party.

Pete,Over here they are worried more by PSA than ML;at least ML got them 2 stages higher than Johnson.The French, and I can say we, are more interested in club,parochial rugby, than international considerations;that is for those with money that can afford to follow them,the avevage Pierre Bloggs supports the locals and basta..ML is over and out, even if he gets his team to win, he'll get a low level Legion d'Honneur,a kiss from the president, and then go elsewhere.He won't be haunting French rugby like SCW does in England.

So basically Chef, the Frogs dont geev a sheet. This helps in Life, one finds.

don't give a damn, rugby is a minor sport here, behind soccer, basketball,handball and others.Will come up in conversations/news around next Friday

Some other old cow will have broken her leg tomorrow.

No she will be ok we are not walking up any steep hills plus I got her a good pair of walking boots.

Moot point Glas?

Point Glas

Ok ok... Im leavin

Don't go. We're just getting used to you.

For the AB's to win this they have to dispatch two of their bogey teams. Can they do it with 0.5 of their two greats?

Ill tell Cymro.. I will... I weally weally will.

I'm actually quite happy now. We have stored up enough righteous indignation to fuel the tank for another few years. Any decent coach could ride this wave for a bit.

You do that Glas. Feed that self-righteousness. Use it to grow. Good on ya pal.















Till we kick yer self-righteous arses at Lansdowne, in the 1st 6-N game.

I have a feeling this 6N would be a good one to keep an eye out for tickets.

It's not Landsdowne though is it, it's the Aviva Deal. No Aviva roar, yet.

Is it definite that Henry will leave the Ab's after the World Cup and do we think that Gatland will be on the NZRU's shopping list?

That's the thing now the game is pro. Back then all people knew were the players. They won or lost the game. Now the game is pro, too many people see the head coach as a convenient scapegoat. Which players will never represent their country again after this RWC (excepting retirements) for poor performance, on or off the pitch? I'm really thinking of England here.

But Fran Cotton has firmly put put Johnson in the firing line ahead of a hardly independent 'review' into England in this RWC.

We've had more head coach turnover in the last decade, at club and national level, than you can shake a stick at.

Toulouse is the model, in Europe.

Yeah and Man U and Arsenal, bit not everybody can employ a Sir Alex or an Arsene. You can't try before you buy.

2 metre tall, blue-eyed, stunning blondes, with long legs up to their chests? Yeah they look good, but tend to have the depth of a Heineken beer-mat.

Give me Irish, English, WELSH & Scottish gals every time.

And Latinos.

And black French girls most of all.

We are in the Snug of Silence yeah? The wimmin can't hear us?

Grand.

Since nobody else can hear, I'm a bit partial to your upper middle class English girl. You know, no discernable accent, polo shirt and jeans.

You know H, I think it will be a cracker after this RWC. Wales - the pick of the bunch. France in the RWC Final. Ireland? .. well we did ok. England & Scotland? Either one of them could win it. England are holders, so yeah. Italy will have their say. Its so much tighter than it ever was.

Fancy a wee meet mo chara?

What does the fixture list look like?

It's sort of a big sheet of paper with a list of all the up coming matches Glas!

But, my Eeeve gets jealous and would bate 7 bells of shoite out of me. Which I would love & respect her for... even more.

Who is Zoe?

Your wan Tindall married.

Zara?

Is that the Zoe you mean?

Rumbled. Lady Dawcta in the House.


Howya MrsP.

Which game should I go to:

Ireland v Wales, Scotland or Italy?

Yeah, That Zoe.

Who de feic is Zoe?

Yeah Zara. Smile like a Horse. Orse like a dream. Looks great in jodphurs and crop.

Its just ...

Shes an English, upper class, version of Steffie Graf. In my little mind like.

Ozzy3213 wrote:Is it definite that Henry will leave the Ab's after the World Cup and do we think that Gatland will be on the NZRU's shopping list?

I would say very real yes to those 2 Pete. One has done it all Internationally (if he wins the RWC) and the other has done it all in the club game in the NH and with Wales.

MrsP wrote:If it's not my own hubby, I'm darn sure I'm not doing the washing/cleaning/cooking doing it for anyone else!!!!

Fair enough.

But... who floats yer boat in the imaginary sense? He needs to be rich enough to get a Maid in and spend time only devoted to you?

Did you hear Henry say that 9pm is too late to play rugby,, he said he is normally in bed by that time and he was being serious

Evening all! Just got back from seeing Dreamcoats and Petticoats: was amazing!!

Evening How is everyone tonight ?

What did you make of the match Kenny. Draw was prob a fair result

Yeh think it was a fair result , thought we were going to nick it at the end though

Prop. Kenny

Good night out Prop?

How's de back Kenny?

Meanwhile... MrsP has to actually think who her imaginary crush is. I dunno...

Evening All. Just woke up after an afternoon nap which lasted four hours

Congrats Asbo and well done Chiefs. They battered the O's this evening

Man, QPR are playing sexshy Dutch-type fudball. Just like the 70's.

Evening Gibbo ... the back is ok thanks .....still stuck in here and could murder a pint

Hoi Cari darlin.Yeah, I heard ya snoring from here.

Long emotional day for you pal. But a proud one.

You were there at the MS. Got the program.

Aye it has been an emotional day Gibbo, but I'm really proud of all the Welsh team. They've had a super tournament. Would be great if they can make it over the last hurdle next week for the third place spot.

Evening Kenny. Get well soon.
