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 picture of newly retired Gareth 'Alfie' Thomas.

Also a special picture of Thomas Domingo and wishing him all the best on a speedy recovery.

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

The Ospreys fans are pants. Penfro and Cari you are fab, but get them to some choir practices or something! Oo-speys, Oo-speys...ole, ole, ole, ole, Pon..Oo-speys. Come on! The massively outnumbered Scarlet fans put you to shame. Dax bands, stereophonics playing in breaks of play, a decent sized crowd but no atmosphere, no culture, no class.

He gets on my jubblies

Morning all.....off for a walk in a bit...lovely day here in the diff not sure what I want to do for the rest of the day

Prynhawn da pawb / good afternoon all, another beautiful day here. Sunny, cold and dry, you can't beat it.

I had a missed call this morning from a number I didn't recognise, so I texted back to ask who it was; this is the reply I got (but with the actual swear word):

who am i the f___ing captain

I still don't know who it's from.

Morning all,

Lucky,

Was it you who was getting texts before about a Uni Rugby team? Could it be about that? Would it be worth texting back that there has been a mix up?

Hi Mrs P, no, that wasn't me but I remember hearing about it here. I replied to the 'captain' text and said I was sorry but I didn't know who he was - I haven't had a reply since. How's the weather in Norn Iron?

It was a personal message from the Dragons to appologise for not draining the pitch properly.

It's absolutely beautiful here. Was yesterday too.

Good win for the boys last night Mrs P.

Beautiful yes. Baltic though. Time to break out thermal undergarments methinks.

They've already sent a hamper by way of apology, Glas. Some nice food it it, but it's all sodden.

Well...yes and no.

We really did our best to butcher as many chances to score tries as it was possible in 80mins. There must have been 5 clear scoring situations which ended in a knock on.

I suppose we were creating more than in previous weeks but we really need to be taking those chances. I can't see either ASM or Tigers allowing us to waste so many chances and still win.

Hopefully Fez is as okay as he looked at the end of the match. Court took a knock too.

Really need the big lads next week.

Hi all horrible leg break in the match I reffed earlier. I was glad doc and ambulance were in attendance

Afternoon All .................... Hope everyone is well

Spent the afternoon with my Osprey mad parents watching a recording of the match. Very easy to wind up.

You are well practiced at it my friend. Mind you I love winding my aul fella up as well.

I'm catching up on highlights of last weeks games; is Casey Laulala the best centre in the league? I think so.

Like Mafi without the thuggery.

And without the tunnel vision or revolutionary 'spade-hands'.

Greatest news headline ever...

More like Mafi with vision and a good pass.

Greybeard, I don't think that's very...funny...

I'll tell you what's not very funny, Taunton RFC has been cordoned off as a crime scene by the Police following the M5 pile up. Reports are that a fireworks display caused a bank of smoke across the motorway.

Glas - you're not watching Scrum V then? That's not funny either...

Some great handbags in the Leinster match!

I am. As a member of the front row union I am considering petitioning for a revocation of Ross' membership. Let him join the butcher's union. What was he thinking? Leamy should have been carded for killing the ball 3 meters out in the aftermath, but that doesn't exhonerate Ross.

Scarlets boys doing well at Church Bank (Llanymddyfri)

I thought this was quite amusing...

Good tackle on Bowe

I thought you were going to say something quite different there Cari.



Evening all. Wasps missed the chance to go 3rd after getting turned over by Saints. Instead we find ourself in 8th.

Why was Shane Williams tackling Tommy Bowe?

Good question MrsP.

Swine of a HC pool Ulster have. In fact, The Rugby Paper doesn't even think Ulster are involved. They have Pool 4 listed thus:-

Aironi
Clermont
Auvergne
Leicester

Could well be prophetic unless we start to get our act together.

When the draw was made Brian McLaughlin said our group was...exciting!

Not sure that is necessarily the first word that springs to mind just now!

Montage of Shane's best bits. Tries, skills and tackles. The Leinster bound Irish shirted Bowe was the tacklee.

All about the Heino now for the next fortnight. Getting excited about it now.

If Ulster can get their act together it could be a Pool decided by bonus points. No one relishes a trip to Ravenhill. I can see the packs having more of a say in this Pool and Ulster will need to front up against Clermont and Leicester, who are both strong in that area.

Although my lot are not involved, I will be watching as many games as possible.

That's disgusting. Do they know they are my newly adopted favourite Irish province?

Eh, you already said that!

Ankle feeling better bought a support.

Just watching Westlife on SCD results show.

You gotta hand it to them fellas, they can sing and they made songs that people love.

They did Ireland every bit as proud as Brian O'Driscoll - fair play to them. I do think its a shame they are disbanding.

Sorry Glas.

That face wasn't at the thought of you becoming Ulster's newest and most unlikely supporter, it was because my puter did some weird sticky thing and then posted my comment twice.

I understand about the Williams tackle now, I had thought you were watching the replay of the O's match.

It is Stag. Plenty of sniffy knockers would have hummed along o'r felt a twang of heartstrings I bet.

Mrs P, I hope to do you proud.

I'm definitely going to send it tomorrow. And- a free Ulster hat. But it's normal sized, so I'm not sure if it will fit a Welsh rugby fan...

If it doesn't fit i'm sure my receeding hairline would be most grateful!!

I get the feeling from the Tigers fans forum that some of their fans are struggling to come to terms with being in 10th place at the moment and teams not just rolling over and being smashed by them...

for my part, I am thoroughly enjoying winding one of them up. Does that make me a bad person???

They're tiger's fans.....everything's ok with them Ozzy!!

Yes, no, maybe, I don't know. It's OK I suppose until you read something which gives you a little pang of guilt. Munster and Leicester supporters are real people with real feelings you know.
