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?

Sausage and mushroom sarnie's sorted me out!!

Take that back about Wade today - he's rested.


Prop - it was a brave call by young ref, Matt Carley, to award the penalty, which he must have known would decide the game.

If he got one thing wrong it was the early yellow card for Scottish full back, Augustin Gosio, nearly intercepted a pass but was pinged for a deliberate knock down. Harsh, because the ball nigh on hit him full in the stomach. Also it wasn't nice to hear some of the Welsh fans baying for a yellow card at the time.

ah Sunday lunch, can't beat it can you? yum yum yum.

I heard that a bloke glassed a girl in Llandovery Club last week, the stewards locked him in a room to await the Police, but he got out and was given an absolute hiding by the locals. It is like the Wild West up there sometimes.

It's just good to hear something good said about refs!! Shame not all of them have bollix big enough to make these calls.

Glas - that honestly doesn't surprise me at all if that's true!

It's rugby time

Are you referring to Wayne Barnes at the end of yeterday's match?

Sorry Glas I don't know what match you mean! Haven't seen any rugby from yesterday. Time to try and spot some regs!!

ah man I miss the first 10 mins and tis already 7-3!

Well worked try with a crossfield kick to Nacewa who offloaded to Kearney.

Sanjay has been called up to the Wales squad for him, although noooo from a Scarlets pov.

Fully deserved for him though!

Dreamer you're away to us at Ravenhill the weekend of Wales vs Australia.

Hopefully we'll have a very strong line-up still

I know, that's why I'm a bit gutted.

We'll be without: Smiler, Tav, Rhys, Georgie, Scott, Foxy and now Sanjay! we might also be without Stevo if he is allowed to play for the BaaBaa's (I think that;s also that weekend).

Going to be a big ask for us. We're against the Dragons without those players too, and they'll still have Brew and Tovey available. Another big ask! And then Munster the week after when we've had no time to prepare propely as a full squad An even bigger ask! 3 huge weeks of rugby coming up for us.

Optional refereeing in the Orr dee ess, but what was that about backsides and plates Asbo?

Dreamer: Stevo is playing for BaaBaa's, it's being billed as his last 'international' but it's the weekend before the wales vs oz match

he might not be Prop, it's whether or not Scarlets release him, and seeing as we'll be without Rhys, I'm not sure we will.

We better blydi had!

Leinster, Champions performance.

If we do release him Glas, we'll be starting with either Dan Newton or Aled Thomas against the Dragons, and they ahven't played in the team for a few weeks now. Big gamble.

Very, very good performance by Leinster

Blydi foggy here at Wasps!!

Afternoon Everyone

City won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! drink up thee cider!!!!!!!!!

Afternoon Kenny, enjoying your freedom?

There's Heineken Cup games on at the moment so it might be a bit quiet in here for the next couple of hours

And if you fancy a get in there quick before Prop empties the barrel

Afternoon Swanny

Loving being at home again , so looking forward to my sunday lunch with all the trimmings .

Watching the darts myself then the footy .

Great comeback from Wasps after being 3-7 down



17-7 now. 2 tries from Southwell.

Phew!

nice one Hound

And afternoon all, just come back from my food shop and just realised I've forgotten to buy eggs, which was one of the things I really needed hate it when that happens!

Kenny - ah mate, must be so nice being back home. Have another

Well done on city's win prop

Hiya Kenny - hope you're on the mend.

Yes feeling well thanks , great to be back home

I can even have a pint with my sunday lunch , wife's spoiling me today

Brilliant by Waldouck to create Southwell's hat trick ry.

Haven't a clue whats going on down the other end of the field. Foggy as feic now.

Congrats to Leinster. O'Malley is a true 13 - hope they stop picking McFadden at 13.

On the notion that we should be satisfied with Munster because of our last minute drop goal in France I strongly disagree. That was a poor Castres team and our performance was nowhere near good enough.

Our positioning defensively on several occasions, continuing to guess when the referee is going to say engage and making knock on after knock on after knock on. We over ran the ball a bit and our decision to try a drop goal from approx 50m was lunacy.

I felt at one stage that a try bonus point was a possibility. Instead we were extremely lucky to win the game.

To add to that Stag, Leinster look imperious. The pendulum is swung in their favour. You'll be back.

We'll be back Glas. It's a three-way pendulum! The Ulster backswing is only starting

They do. Leinster are looking the business. They will qualify. I'm not sure will another Irish team. We have a chance but we need to win our next 3 matches and IMO need a try bonus point against either Scarlets or Castres in Thomond.

David Wallace, Keith Earls and Felix Jones will all be invaluable players to come back into the team. However they won't face Scarlets.

Afternoon all, hope you've had a good weekend. Mine started well on Friday night when I met up with Cari & Dreamer for a couple of drinks . Saturday arrived and it started to go downhill with a draw for the 'Hairsprays' and finally hit rock bottom with the Sarries going down 9-3 up in Llandrindod. I'm tempted to launch into a diatribe about the ref , but my Mam taught me that if I had nothing good to say about anyone then I should say nothing at all. So .......................

I see the Ospreys coach has come out and said that they underestimated Treviso.

I don't how they could have underestimated Treviso though, after the mauling Treviso gave the Dragons a few weeks ago? I despair at the coaching at the O's sometimes, I really do.


Penfro - 2 points is better then 0 though

aaaaargh the Montpellier no6 is doing his best to scuper my SG pick. I have Bath by 3 (which they are currently winning by). He's already knocked on twice in his own 22 and now he's given away a stupid kickable penalty with only 5 mins left! Argh!

wella ctually it's a 55m kick but if he gets it.....aha! yay he missed. Phew.

Bath win by 3!!

16 - 13.

That was a really good 2nd half that, really enjoyed it.

Here, here, problem is it started swinging away when Willy John retired

I got excited, I had them by 2 on SG. I wonder who picked them by three

oooh Glas been meaning to ask; did you enjoy what Gwyn Jones had to say after the Saints v Scarlets match? When I was watching the highlights show I did think of you.

Nearly walked past the bus back to the station it was so foggy

The pub is showing a re-run of Barf v Montpellier

'elfen o lwc yn y pedair cais...'

Don't get me wrong, that was exactly my take on the game, but it was the way he said it.

Mind you he ripped into the Ospreys!

ha thought you might have reacted like that.

He can be quite harsh can't he?

Hound - what was the FT score in your match?

Dreamer I just google translated that and its something like the 4th try was a bit lucky? Isnt that what you said?
