The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Mon 21 Nov 2011, 4:23 pm

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 pictures of Rhys Priestland, Cian Healy, or the special one of Charlize Theron and Gibbo above the bar!

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

Ale

Highlights of Leinster v Glasgow.

Typical feicing D4s, couldn't even be harrised to show the Glasgow try!! furious

Well Scarlets know how to beat us - Anthony Foley, Munsters forwards coach has called on Munster to use our strong tradition of forward play.

Who knew? Smile

by Guest Tue 22 Nov 2011, 12:53 pm

how do we know how to beat you?? We haven't beaten you for ages Sad

by red_stag Tue 22 Nov 2011, 12:55 pm

There's a difference between knowing and doing though Dreamer. I really can't wait for that match.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 22 Nov 2011, 12:56 pm

We beat Munster last season, Dreamer. Maybe we'll pass on some tips after we've beaten you on Friday. Wink

by Guest Tue 22 Nov 2011, 12:57 pm

I'm starting to feel sick with nerves whenever I think about it, ridiculously excited at the same time, and then add in a splash of anger at the WRU. Makes for an interesting mix!

And bring on your forward orientated game! tis just what Saints tried to do boxing

Lucky - ha! how kind of you. Twill be after we beat you though...ooo so excited for Friday!

Not they think they tried that they get distracted with the likes of Ashton and Foden and that shiny new Russian speedster.

They don't appreciate REALLY boring rugby. They don't have the patience.

This is true. Ulster tried to out bore is though a few weeks back (sorry Ulster regs! but seriously you did....). Almost worked, but not quite!

Again, Ulster are a team with notions of fancy back play.

And I've just noticed I'm stood next to a big fooking christmas tree which would explain why I thought people were staring at me!!

Don't be soft, hippies don't make decisions like that, they just let the flow take them warning

Hughie, Gibbo probably doesn't even know where he is today, never mind in a couple of weeks time.

by Thomond Tue 22 Nov 2011, 1:27 pm

Hello. MrsP I have been doing some exercise on the ankle, it's not a huge problem just a niggling one that won't feck off.

Never! ROG's younger, better looking and more talented brother (Rhys P) will play a blinder and have a tactical masterclass that will wash Munster away, under a wave of Scarlets!

I did not enjoy any of them!

by red_stag Tue 22 Nov 2011, 1:30 pm

I did. We earn our tries.

3 Tries = 100 phases of play

This attackign from first phase malarky will never fly.

by Thomond Tue 22 Nov 2011, 1:35 pm

It's proper forwards play,don't forget it takes an awful lot of skill to retain the ball for that long. The clearing out was great and the hands were brilliant. Keeping the ball for that length of time is amazing. I enjoyed the clips. I think it's possible to like both types of rugby though. Leinster's performance over in Toulouse was amazing as was Munster's against Scarlets in 2008.

Just corrected it for you Prop Whistle

Seriously - these are the type you want - PUMA - GILBERT

by Guest Tue 22 Nov 2011, 1:39 pm

ah yeahd on't get me wrong, i can enjoy that sort of play, like when Wales went through almost 30 phases to score against Australia in the wc. I just didn't enjoy them because it's not something I want us to face in a few weeks!

This is my quick lunch-time check-in, hope everyone's having a good day.

They are always the most enjoyable sessions munsty. When you don't want to get. You'll love it once your started.

by MBTGOG Tue 22 Nov 2011, 4:46 pm

I really doubt it. It's just a run through before the game tomorrow. I seem to have made my way onto the bench for the firsts again. I have no idea how.
