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 Micky T above the bar!

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

Ale

Wow 14-3 to scarlets now

Bad decision from the ref for the second try, clearly forward

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:25 pm

Controversial try, that - but a beaut of a conversion from the touchline by Priestland. Hell of an atmosphere in the ground by the sounds of it.

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:25 pm

Priestland converts a really tricky conv from the sideline.

Scarlets are buzzing.

I phhoking love the HC.

2nd round and Saints could be all but out. Stag, check yer lisht again.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:27 pm

Don't jinx it now, Gibbo!

by Cari Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:29 pm

Note to self: never drop in during a rugby match Doh

Sounds like the Scarlets are doing well. I bet Dreamer's going ape in the pub.

Tis true, can see munster struggling to keep up with them in Parc Y

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:35 pm

It was high.

Something for half time reading...

by **Notch** Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:43 pm

Good evening everyone!

This is a cracking game here. Ymlaen Scarlets!

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:43 pm

Brilliant Rav. guinness

Morgan was imsense there. Stand up and fight Scarlets. Do a Musnter at the front and a Leinster form the back.

by Rava Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:45 pm

Northampton imploded

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:45 pm

TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Magnificent. 4 tries for 5 pts?

Amazing.

Its because they are always primed to attack and have a go.

Im loving this. Away to Saints . Yer having a laff.

I fancied Scarlets to get out of this pool. Check the pool threads.

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:45 pm

No doubt about that try! Three now for the Scarlets!

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:48 pm

Scarlets are just like vultures on the break. Unreal. They have taken any scraps available with some aplomb.

Preistland is back running things. North is back bullying and they look so much better.

I'd say our Dreamer is going happily ballistic right now.

by Rava Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:50 pm

An absolute lesson on how to accumulate points off scraps of possession. Are Saints going out at this early stage. Mon Scarlets.

Actually that's a bit of a disservice. Some fantastic kicking from Priestland.

by Suspicious lurker Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:52 pm

This is what is great about the HC, six pool games and by round two you can effectively be out.

It's whats so heartbreaking about sport and I love it!!!!

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:53 pm

Would not be writing Saints off. 1st 10 mins of the 2nd and next score are vital. Scarlets need to hold out against a massive forward surge. And find those gaps to finish this off.

Love the HC. Man.

by **Notch** Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:57 pm

This is FANTASTIC! Smile

What a competition. Agree with Gibbo when he says Saints can win this, but Scarlets have to take it. With enough belief and the right mentality they will.

Ah nice girl. Good to have a drink with mates to mark the moment. Hug

Ha! Id say that article is true all right.

by Rava Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:57 pm

Gibbo - Whatsapp!!

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:58 pm

No, true enough Gibbo. Saints haven't played anywhere near their best in the match so far but they're capable of turning it on. Having said that, the Scarlets haven't played at their best yet either!

Great try by Lloyd Williams in the Blues v London Irish match. He's Wales's premier scrum half. Forget all this 'extra back rower' bullocks.

by Thomond Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:58 pm

This crowd are serious. Still if we beat Scarlets home and away we might be able to feck up over in England.

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 8:59 pm

SKY commentator just said you don't get out of a group losing two games.

You do. Leinster did. And won it.

by **Notch** Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:00 pm

Not your first two though. That requires a comeback from the dead.

by Thomond Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:01 pm

As did Munster when they won their last HC. First and second last game.

by Rava Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:01 pm

Cari, get out of the kitchen girl. Glad you had a great day. Brilliant you were able to finish it off with good friends. You will always remember that.

The only leaving do I remember was when the receivers came into a firm I was working for and shut up shop immediately. Took my car keys. I had to get Anne to come to Belfast to pick me up. Sad

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:02 pm

True.

How's Notch these days? Living and studying musical sculpture?

by Cari Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:02 pm

Gibbo - yeah it was. Everyone's been really generous today - I had free brekkie in the canteen, then two others gave me coffee and chocolate later. I spoke to my new manager on the phone this morning and she was really nice, and said that everyone's looking forward to me starting there next week, which was a nice thing to say I thought. Never heard from my former head of department though, but I'm not bitter about that. Smile

Rava that's sad Sad

Still, look where you are now!

by Suspicious lurker Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:04 pm

If scarlets keep giving away penalty in the scrum Northampton can get back into this

You should contact them and correct that! Bloody amateurs!

Yeah T. Its weird. And Notch is right. 2-in-a-row is an avalanche. Hard to stop. But back on the horse after a loss and get the home wins by 5pts and always glean pts on every trip away from home.

This is what the HC is all about. Its like chess.

The bigger teams have learned the rules. Others, are learning them.

Absolutely man. Given most other people I know who graduated at the same time are on the dole its not a bad time to get more education as it turns out. And loving it. Some new stuff will be coming out in a few months from me, we'll wait and see... So I'm oscillating between being incredibly depressed about the future and very much enjoying the present. Every time I make some music it makes me feel... better. I don't know.

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:18 pm

Notch,
If what you do and what you love to do, makes you feel better... Really. Its a winning situation.
You cant change what's going on around you. Just influence it all with the talent you have in you. I reckon.

You'll be grand. Just remember yer friends. :dressedorange: guinness

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:20 pm

Mon Scarlets!

Need a break here.

Ah grand. It is brilliant that the new manager is better than yer last one. Sounds like an orsehole.

This is the job you deserve and will love. Give it time.

Believe.

Scarlets are really fronting up here. Going in for the kill. Man. I love the HC!

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:25 pm

Huge drive from the Scarlets there. Next score is crucial.

by Suspicious lurker Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:26 pm

Northampton coming across as a real one trick pony tonight, no Foden to ignite the backs and getting beaten up front. They have no clue what to do

Oh and by the way Sky, how hard is it to complement the scarlets??

I don't, believe me. Thanks man Smile

by Gibson Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:27 pm

You know what Lucky? I believe that teams have sussed out Saints scrum technique. Scarlets have. Leinster did in the 2nd half of the HC Final.

Very, very hard for them. You know it's pretty wonderful viewing Smile

Just as I type that Saints actually start playing some rugby! This is great.

by Suspicious lurker Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:31 pm

YYYYYYYEEEERRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

BONUS POINT FOR SCARLETS!!!!

LOVE IT

by Luckless Pedestrian Fri 18 Nov 2011, 9:31 pm
