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 team photos of the World Cup finalists. Or the action shots (put up especially for Cari) of McCaw, Kahui and Corey Jane.

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

Damn work distracting me from the radio!

Picked up three new jobs today!!

Excellent Rava !! The drinks are on you.

Congrats Rava!

And afternoon all, suuuuper busy at work today, but think that's actually a good thing, the day is flying by

And whoever put up what Allain Rolland's first game back reffing in the Pro12 is -

Yea I saw that Dragons v Blues Should be a frosty welcome.

One of them the Ravenhill project Rava?

Speaking of which I noted on twitter someone asking Ulster Rugby if any signings where due. They replied in the negative. Strange.

Good work, Rava!

On Alain Rolland refereeing the Dragons v Blues match, it's a real shame but he's going to get stick wherever he goes in Wales from now on.

I'm expecting a lot of pantomime boo's for that match Stag. Welsh derby's are always tense affairs where the ref get's a grilling no matter what, so good luck to him I guess.

I was just gonna say that Dreamer. Some refs get crucified in certain grounds - Roman Poite in Munster for example.

Aye exactly.

Nige always has a hard time in the O's v Scarlets matches as both sets of fans are convinced he's favouring the other team! It's completely ridiculous really when you think about it

Makes him the ideal candidate really

I remember one of our Irish refs saying that there was a few years in a row he seemed to always end up reffing Bath v Leicester. He said both teams hated him

Last night I watched a DVD of the match I reffed last weekend. I still can't believe that it finished with a 37 point margin. It was acutally very close.

Glas would. He loves that grass chewing, combine harvester polishing, sheep s****ing lifestyle


Yoko Ono has been signed up for the next series of 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!' Show bosses think she will do really well since she's been living off a dead Beatle for the last thirty years.

Yes, but I hate the Wurzels. When I was in uni we used to go to the Football club for happy hour. The so called DJ had a mix tape that he played everytime, without fail. The Wurzels are mildly amusing, but that tends to wear off after a year or so.

Glas - you still thinking of coming to the Blues v Scarlets match on Sunday?

Yes. Mrs G and Miss G going shopping. Where and when do you suggest we meet?

Now I may have posted something on Tommy Bowes Facebook page, and it was swiftly removed

How did the interview go Hugh?

Don't know what time yet (I haven't even looked when ko is!), but was just suggesting places to meet with Mrs Penfro earlier. I shall facebook you details later

Also, need to check with Cari if she's still coming! And are there any other Welsh regs interested in this one??

2.30, so I'll be aiming to get there for 2. What is the sandpiper like in the car park? Does the park and ride operate on a Sunday?

I reckon we all get onto Tommy FB page and congratulate him on his move back to Ulster

sandpiper?? and not got a clue about the Park and ride sorry, will see if I can find out anything later on today for you.

Head down back at work now though, so speak to you all later.

Hughie - hope it all went okay today

Aye went well, I'm happy enough can't do anything more now so ill not worry about it until I hear anything

Staggy, let's do it. I'm well up for that

Ive just tried Hughie I cant leave a comment on it. I liked his page that should be enough no?

Ah no never mind figured it out!!

Here's a question for ye. Does the fact that Ireland bested Australia make you think that Leinster would have beaten the reds in a hypothetical "World club championship" game?

Here's the team that won the super XV final:
15 FB Jonathon Lance
14 W Rod Davies
13 C Anthony Faingaa
12 C Ben Tapuai
11 W Digby Ioane
10 FH Quade Cooper
9 SH Will Genia
1 P Ben Daley
2 H Saia Faingaa
3 P Greg Holmes
4 L Rob Simmons
5 L James Horwill
6 F Scott Higginbotham
7 F Beau Robinson
8 N8 Radike Samo

And here's the team that won the HC:

15 FB Isa Nacewa
14 W Shane Horgan
13 C Brian O'Driscoll
12 C Gordon D'Arcy
11 W Luke Fitzgerald
10 FH Jonathan Sexton
9 SH Eoin Reddan
1 P Cian Healy
2 H Richardt Strauss
3 P Mike Ross
4 L Leo Cullen
5 L Nathan Hines
6 F Kevin McLaughlin
7 F Sean O'Brien
8 N8 Jamie Heaslip

Highlighted are the players who played in the WC match.

Ah Glas the Wurzels can never get boring surely.......finally getting to eat my lunch now

Mickado, I didn't watch the Super 15 final, so although I know the result I didn't see for myself how the Reds played in that match. I'd want to see both teams' performances.

To be honest Mick, it'd probably go with home advantage. The Reds in Brisbane and Leinster in Dublin are both very tough games

Actually, check that. Are we talking about Quade Cooper and Sexton on RWC form or domestic form? There's a bigger gap for QC. (both were superb in their finals, Sexton didn't decline as much as QC for RWC)

Dreamer/Glas:i'd probs be up for the match!! Keep me posted

Shirt, had to stop sawing wood,

for the second time today, and thus since the beginning of September

Just floating the idea, but I have invitations(practically unlimited according to my man) for the Sat of the Rugby weekend in Dec,to see Roy Wood, Status Quo and KIM WILDE in Cardiff.I'm checking with Asbo MC to see what he reckons, but Kimmy may just sway it for the Irish lads

I LOVE it Gibbo. He's some man for impressions.

Love the impression of Henry. He is a bit of a dullard...

Only in America...

After a night of hunting and warnings to local residents to stay inside their homes, Mr Lutz said a mountain lion, a grizzly bear and a monkey were still unaccounted for as of Wednesday morning

That's pretty much my regular Tuesday night.

We were just discussing this in the office: I liked the fact that Radio 1 said: such animals as lions and tigers and grizzly bears..........they didn't follow it up with 'oh my!!'

In other news.....i've just bought Flogging Molly tickets
