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?

still got problems with the neighbours,Cari?Downstairs or elsewhere?

That's a bit of a personal question isn't it?

that was too cruel Mick!

I never get headache hangover usually, but oh good gosh I am in pain. ouch ouch ouch. Accidently fell asleep after my shower this morning though so not feeling as bad as I would have

Sorry to hear about your shoulder though Mick, hope it gets better soon

Good luck to everyone playing today.

Mick - it's the new fella next door - well he's not that new, been there about three months with his missus. Has had a gathering every Friday and saturday night for about the last month when he comes home from the pub. Had to report him eventually cause the parties were going on until three, four and five in the morning. Drove me bonkers. He didn't even have the common courtesy to pre-warn anyone and we're surrounded by other properties so it can't just be me who's affected. I don't ask for much in this world, but a bit of peace at the weekend isn't too much to ask is it? I don't normally like to complain, and I'm a tolerant person most of the time, but he was taking the pish if you ask me. He should learn to be less anti social.

Hope the shoulder improves quickly.

Dreamer, Miss G is ill. Don't know if it will scupper my plans for tomorrows match yet. I'll keep you posted.

Ah no, poor Miss G hope she gets better soon.

Sleeping on the couch now, hopefully the antibiotics will kick in.

Hope she gets well soon Glas and it's nothing too serious.

Aye. She'll be fine.

Smart signing by the Scarlets;

Watching a replay of last nights ITV highlight show with a little bit on the Haka. Buck Shelford's influence on the All Blacks taking it a bit more seriously back in the late 80's...

Not just a silly dance, as it was in the seventies...

ooh by the way if anyone missed it, the Scrum V World Cup spesh is now on the BBC iPlayer (if you can access it). Worth a squiz.

that's great news for us Notch, cheers for the link

Glad it's another Tongan as well so at least he and Timani know each other, should help with them settling in. I liked the look of him in the rwc, and considering how many backs players we'll lose come 6N's, we had to look at cover there so me = happy.

He was ridiculously good in the Churchill Cup. Nigel Davies was there checking out Timani in the game he scored four tries. Was interviewed on Sky at half-time, remember him praising Iongi.

Sometimes you have to go digging to find a gem, sometimes it's right in front of your face.

ah yeah I have a vague recollection of Nige mentioning him. Glad we're only signing within our means as well, no point spending money we don't have.

All we have to do now is check whether he has any sons and marry him off to some Tumble girl.

Just realised Ireland's next game is at home to Wales at the beginning of February.

Man, is that going to be an interesting one. 'Payback'.

I think that will be a cracker...

I wonder whether the Ireland team will look similar to the current one?

I'll be there!

'Payback'

Yes, we're still owed a few.

Probably will, yes. I don't imagine radical changes. Slow, gradual change is Kidneys style isn't it?

Glas we will crush yous like a wirrum!!

Supertanker - no not rhyming slang.

Care to place a little wager on that Mr R?

£10.00. even match.

Something tidy mun! A bottle of Veuve Clicquot?

Done. But we'll have to drink it if you win because you won't be able to take it through security

That'll do me!

Oh Poopie, do they sell it in Dublin?

I'll get in at home. Twill be cheaper there. If I win you can square me up for it. OK?

So if you win, I pay you to drink it?



Go on then.

Watching Perpingnon v ASM. ASM 7 yellow carded after 6 mins.
Unfortunately I saw Chefs post earlier with the score.

When's Penfro back?

Leeds win 3-2 Rava. All my teams have won at the weekend, a Rugby World to read on the plane and a fourfourtwo. Tidy.

Perp kicker has missed 4 kickable pens in first 13 minutes.
Can't believe Clermont won this game.

Cheers Thom.

And they've signed Hook!

Afternoon pub. It's a lovely day here at Vallis Way, and Ealing leading 26-8 as the second half starts. MJ should get his arse down here to see how English backs can create and finish chances



Woo hoo, Chesters in for his second!!

Ok, Rava,Porical,who won the Top14 in 2009 for USAP against ASM, misses 5 kicks,is just justice coming home; and the 5 tries scored by Clermont were his fault as well?(at least 2 were )After last weeks largest ever defeat for Perpignan, last night was their largest ever home defeat;a season of records at Aimee Giral?They have Hook, Mermoz, Marty and Lakafia to return, but Delmas is the problem; ask Stade Francais.

ASM should be awesome when the 11 missing players get back.

Toulon lead 13-6 against RM92 at the oranges, nicely worked try by Rooney .Lovely long autumnal shadows across the pitch; would hate to be a FB with garry owens<yikes>

Nice result for ASM

Saw your post about Bordeaux - will be good if you can get there

Let me know when and where;if you want to come earlier, I'll pick you guys up, come down here and go back for the game OK?

Prynhawn da pawb / good afternoon all.

This is just beautiful:

Lucky, I cannot go anywhere without seeing this!!!

Their voices work so well together though, Chef. Alison Krauss's voice is just stunning.

Heard this for the first tome in a while today

Chef, Meic Stephens looks like you.

"In Memphis" is one of the finest albums ever made

Excellent Maesteg. Totally agree, sublime album. Her voice is food for the soul.
Love the sound of your 45 & LP collection. I have lost so many and gave a lot to my lads. But they'll treasure em.

Good eve all. It has been a stunning day here. Clear, crisp and very Sunny. My kind of weather. Great for biking.

I haven't heard much of Meic Stephens's stuff, Glas. 'Y Brawd Houdini' and that's about it.

Afternoon, Gibsonsyerman.

I am definitely worried. Maybe not for the Ravenhill clash because I think we will win our home games but I fear for the away tie.

Howya Luckless_Pedestrian mo chara. Good evening Rav, Chef and Glas.

Hope the little Angel gets better soon Glas.
