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?

Anybody else watched that Brad Thorn building blocks thing? Feck he's a machine. Pretty inspiring stuff.

Anybody think the AB's won't win tomorrow?

Try Wasspss. Good patient build up play. 22-21.

Convo missed.

Rodders, the All Blacks will be favourites - but that hasn't helped them in the past. Also, there's a huge difference between the pressure on the All Blacks and the pressure that's on France. No one expects France to win. That can be liberating for a side.

I've tipped France.

Wasspss a different side this half. They are determined to starve the Dragons of ball. Pressing again.

Aloes les blues.
Alley les Noirs

Could be anyone's game. Let's hope it's a good one.

Penalty Dragons under their own sticks. Takes it quickly then kicks to touch

Feic my 'O' Level French is crape!!

Yep, that's key Rava. Let's hope for a quality contest tomorrow.

Still 22 - 21, Glas?

Yes. Robinson on for Wasspss. Scrum Penalty in the half way. Steffan Jones going for the posts.

Slots it! 24-22 Dragons. This guy is a star!

Then they foul up the kick off

I've gone the AB on sportsguru not that that remotely matters anymore, but I have a quiet bet that France will edge it. Depends how much White we see in Dusatoir's eyes. >50% and France have a chance.

I think that the semi final was the biggest hurdle for NZ (regardless of who they faced)

Linesman calls a penalty. Robinson going got the posts. Very kickable.

Chopsing apparently. Complete miss-kick.

37% possession to Dragons. Penalty wasps, goes to the corner.

Robinson drop goal - missed. 24-22 Dragons.

Betsan on. Dragons line put in the 22.

Knock on in the forwards! Why didn't they go through the backs!

I'm watching an old episode of Taggart.

Can't be much time left can there, Glas?

Scrum is now being demolished by the Wasps.

8 minutes.

Drop goal Jones! 27-22. Bullet straight.

34% territory, 36% possession 27-22. 5 minutes on the clock. Stats eh?

Scrum 5 Wasps. This would be cruel.

keep the updates coming Glas!

I don't know whether I'm still really hungover or just plain ill. I have been sick 3 times today, every time after I've tried to eat something, this has never happened to me before. Feeling pretty darn dreadful if I'm honest. No more beer for me for a while just in case it is that though.

Try under the posts 27-27 with a dolly convo to come. 2 minutes on the clock.

Yikes, doesn't sound good, Dreamer. A good night's sleep might be just the ticket though.

ah no, ymlaen Dreigiau!

diolch Lucky I best be feeling better tomorrow for all the rugby anways.

Penalty Dragons! On the touch line, last kick of the match!

Dreamer. Iced-water. Litres of it. You will be a new woman and feel like eating again. Trust me. Im a pro.

I'm trying to drink water Gibbo but honestly it's making me want to spew. Got a bottle of it right by me in bed tho so will keep trying

Ooo penalty, please let them get it!

HE NAILS IT!!!! 30-29! ITS ALL OVER!!!!

ah yay, well done Dreigiau! sounded a great match.

Awesome! Right, that's it, I'm staying up 'til 23.20 for the rerun of the match!

So Glas, Steffan Jones had a decent enough game then?

That was the best game of rugby I have seen in years. Low value cup, my harse! Steffan Jones should be looked at closely by top English and French teams. I didn't think many could give Tovey a run for his money, but this lad is special.

Evening folks

Everyone had a good day?

Evening, Pete, mine's been grand ta, how about you?

I've had better days Pete, but had lovely chats with my mam and dad earlier with made me How're you?


Oo advert for the final tomorrow. I really do just love Thierry Dousatoir.

Had a nice day out in Brighton with the wife and kids, played on the slots on the pier, ate seafood, all good.

Reading back seems like there was a decent game of rugby on this evening no?

Fantastic. If you can get to see the re-run, try to it's worth. Nobody deserved to lose that. I feel for Hound I really do.

I got to watch the first 15 minutes of it, Pete. The Dragons got off to a hell of a start and it sounds like it was some game after that. Highlights (or a full rerun?) at 23.20 tonight on S4C!

ah a day by the sea, that's lovely Pete.

I really miss the sea, need to get myself back to Aberystwyth some point soon I'm thinking. Although thinking, not sure why I don't just go down to the bay here

aye to Hound.
