The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:45 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 Shane Williams above the bar!

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

Ale

It was just a wonderful moment, the kind of moment that reminds you of what rugby is all about. I think everyone wanted him to get that try. Even the Aussie players wanted him to get that try Smile

Yeah mrsP I reckon that was really good what Deans did with that jersey which no player had worn. I know it was just a perfect ending, good so see a welsh team with a few '2nd' players doing well

by MrsP Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:28 pm

What do players do with all those jersey swops?

Do they take them home and wash them or keep the "as is"?

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:30 pm

MrsP: I think that they would just frame them, guess it depends on the individual!!

by MrsP Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:33 pm

Mud and all??

I suspect those tackle attempts by Anthony Fainga'a and Berrick Barnes may be the amongst the ones they regret least in their careers!

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:34 pm

If it was me i'd want match worn to prove it was their top!!

Yeah but to be fair shane's step did it Wink

Highlights from the Toulouse v Toulon game. Toulouse look very strong this year.

by MrsP Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:36 pm

Oh, I wasn't suggesting they missed on purpose. But how bad would they have felt if that moment hadn't happened!

I bet they wouldn't change a thing!

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:37 pm

Yeah they'd have gotten the 'rolland' welcome to Wales!!

by MrsP Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:42 pm

I witnessed the "Welcome" the small travelling contingent of Scarlet fans gave him last night so I can just imagine what it will be like when he gets to Wales.

If he gets to Wales!!!!

Shocked

By the way, I think I saw my first Sparkly Red CowGirl hat at Ravenhill last night!

Very strange.

And NO it was not being worn by a local

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:43 pm

I bet it was sold by someone from Wales who stands outside the clubs in Cardiff!!

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:46 pm

Strings still has a lot to offer. The best pass in Ireland and up there with the best in the NH.

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:48 pm

Not as good as mine T

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 9:51 pm

Prop, I made a kick ROG would have been proud of today. Got it to bounce so the winger had to play it and so he could get smashed into touch by our players. Think ROGs kick in the last minute today.

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:12 pm

T i reckon you;re rog in disguise then!! The fact your kick was meant to be a pass means nothing Wink

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:13 pm

No,2 of us outside with 5 defenders. I used my mad midfielder footballing brain to incredibly good effect.

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:15 pm

did you have to go through 40 phases to do that? Wink

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:16 pm

Nah, I'm from Cork like Ronan so we automatically know when to do the right thing. Dubliners on the other hand don't.

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:17 pm

ah ok i'll let you off and clap

your efforts then!!

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:19 pm

Indeed my 10 metre scamper over the line also proved to be effective.

by MrsP Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:20 pm

Do they make the chips that Cork folk have on their shoulders out of Turnip?

Whistle

Only messing.....

Run

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:22 pm

MrsP, knowing you're the best when you constantly prove you are is not having a chip on your shoulder. It's called facing the facts. Wink

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:23 pm

check out mrsP being cheeky clap

by MrsP Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:25 pm

Well done on your heroics on the pitch Thomond!

clap

Did you win?

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:25 pm

Yes, I was talking about Cork people in general though rather than me. Even I'm not that much of an egotist!

To be fair the only thing Ulster fans are used to on their shoulder are their fellow Ulster fans crying about how dismal they are Run

Unlike the mighty cherry and whites thumbsup

by MrsP Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:34 pm

Ah Thomond. My congrats were genuine and my teasing only fun.

Hug

Prop on the otherhand is in BIG trouble!!

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:35 pm

Oh Glas.,....leave us alone!! We gave you Ben Morgan

Ah bring it on MrsP i reckon your all talk :p

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:36 pm

MrsP, you know it hurts so bad because he speaks the truth!

by MrsP Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:37 pm

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:42 pm

ooo T no need to gang up on her...she doesn't have her fellow oldie (Rava) to back her up Wink

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:42 pm

Oh, Jesus Prop, you don't poke the bear for a 3rd time!

by Glas a du Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:44 pm

Ulster are a sleeping giant. Just you wait, you'll see.

by **Notch** Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:46 pm

Glas is right.

Also... Prop is right too! Cry

I must admit, that was a quality line Prop Laugh

by Cari Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:48 pm

Prop - what did you think of Melon's big kick this afternoon? I swear that man's a frustrated winger Wink

Speaking of today's Wales match, was anyone else embarrassed by Eddie Butler's attempt at creating rugby rhyming slang by referring to the TMO as The Tommy Bowe? It also gave me heart attack...! Rolling Eyes

by Glas a du Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:51 pm

Well I hope the kits don't run in the HC matches or there'll be pink everywhere, like an accident in a sugar candy factory, after the floss is spun of course it's more a red colour when in liquid form.

by **Notch** Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:53 pm

Yeah, and look where that got Stade Francais. No thank you!

by MrsP Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:53 pm

Evening Cari!

I thought for a millisecond that he meant OUR Tommy!

Notch,

You've met us both.

Would you mind telling that nasty Prop fella that I am NO WHERE NEAR as old as Rava and Gibbo!!!

In fact, I was still at primary school when they had left the education system!

Erm

Unless they are both very slow learners.

by Glas a du Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:53 pm

Cari, you will probably castrate me for this, but it's time Tommy moved on. He needs a fresh challenge (in rugby terms like thumbsup

)

by MrsP Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:54 pm

And Notch!

Just remember who occasionally gives you a lift home from Ravenhill and all!

Whistle

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:56 pm

MrsP, when you hear Gibbo's hairbrained suggestions about Deccie, Jenno and Ireland you have got to think he spent an extra few years there....

by Cari Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:56 pm

Glas - eh....I'd hardly castrate you for stating the inevitable. His contract is due for renegotiation at the end of this season, so it's not unlikely.

by **Notch** Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:57 pm

Yeah guys, MrsP is great. She is very young and yet so very, very wise. She dispenses soup to weary rugby pilgrims and her brood of Ulster fans are a credit to us all.

She in no way bribed me to write this with a second hand bounty bar. No sir!

It was delicious, thanks MrsP Whistle

by Glas a du Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:59 pm

Phew. Ok I mean the Ospreys should let him go. He will want and need to and it does look now as though he's out of place in this team, can't quite explain why.

And you ate her Bounty Notch!

by Thomond Sat 03 Dec 2011, 10:59 pm

Notch, you like Bounty Bars? I think I have lost all respect I had for you.

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 11:00 pm

Took me a while to think of how to word it!! Quite quick for me too!!

Cari: melon is a god at any part of rugby union...FACT!!

by **Notch** Sat 03 Dec 2011, 11:03 pm

Nah mate, would never go for it in a free choice. Least favourite chocolate bar.

But then again, you have to think that the term 'least favourite chocolate bar' is kind of like 'worst orgasm' or "least prestigious award". If you find yourself being given a chocolate bar, orgasm or award... well it's better than most things even if it's not the one you wanted!

by Glas a du Sat 03 Dec 2011, 11:04 pm

Did I tell you that I gave an interview on national radio about the Aussie match yesterday. How the Flip they came up with me as a person to call and dispense wisdom, Flip knows! It was fun though.

by prop_lyd Sat 03 Dec 2011, 11:07 pm

Good work Glas!! Did you name drop v2 or me?!
