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 Doug Howlett above the bar!

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

Ale

And is

by Thomond Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:46 pm

Alan Quinlan is very honest about Munster and Ireland. It's not something you see from ex players when commentating on their own team. Good to see. Priestland misses a penalty

afternoon guys

by Thomond Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:47 pm

Hey cricket. I'm going to apologise in advance for anything insulting or deratory I say over the match.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:49 pm

Sounds like a good start for the Scarlets

by Thomond Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:49 pm

Shocking try to give away. Not good enough. Zebo and Chambers could both have done better. 5-0

afternoon thomond Smile

FFS!!!!

Bowden misses an easy pen. Dead centre, 30 yards out, shanked it.

by Thomond Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:53 pm

Mafi would you keep your discipline and not shoot out of the defensive line if it wasn't for a forward pass he's away.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:54 pm

Bowden just taken out well late and very high and not got up. Ansbro attempt for a try gone to the TMO.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:55 pm

Seen the replay, for me it's a try, but not convinced it will be given

by Thomond Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:56 pm

ROG has a 72% win record in the HC. Incredible, 9 wins with the last kick of the game!

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:57 pm

Not give, we come back for the penalty for the hit on Bowden, whop appears to have gone off injured. Armitage taking the kick at goal.

Not even a yellow given for the tackle. Not happy!!!

by MrsP Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:59 pm

Can I ask why you thought it was a try but also thought it wouldn't be given?

Was it just your Exile Specs?

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:59 pm

3-3 both out halfs off injured!

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:03 pm

On the replay it look as if his hand was in contact with the ball when it was grounded but there was an argument as to whether he had control of it.

It was the sort of one you tend to get given at home but not away.

Another penalty and a try in quick succession for Racing!!! Sad

11-3

by MrsP Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:04 pm

Is the TMO a Parisian?

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:06 pm

Drop goal for Racing.

We were playing ok until Bowden got taken out!!! furious

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:08 pm

Try for Spratt Yahoo

Racing 14 Irish 10

No idea where the TMO is from MrsP.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:10 pm

And Danaher gives away the most brainless penalty ever!!! Doh

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:14 pm

Hala'ufia will be getting cited after this game. High swinging arm to Racing 15. That'll be him missing another 6 matches and Booth has pulled him straight off and put Gibson on.

by MrsP Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:14 pm

I think someone should just remove Ozzy's comments and let the emoticons tell the story!

Come on Iris!!!

by Thomond Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:16 pm

Pete you don't want me to mention anything about the Munster match right? It's shaping up to be a good game anyway!

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:19 pm

No no T, feel free to comment, I know it's 8-8 I have score updates open on a window on the netbook.

11-8, Munster. Good stuff. HT

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:28 pm

14-10 Racing at the break.

Could go either way this. Racing dangerous in attack, we need to finish the chances we are creating.

I thought your boys were more dangerous, Racing only try was a well executed counter-attack but they seem to lack ideas with the ball in hand and kicked too much. hernandez being replaced is probably a good thing for them.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:46 pm

Penalty for us 14-13 now, should have scored the try though. Fantastic break from Treviranus

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:49 pm

FFS!!!!!!

Jarvis has now sliced one from 30 yards out dead centre, would have put us 16-14 up

Get in

Ansbro in the corner

3rd try Thompstone Yahoo

We are cutting them to ribbons since half time!!!

by whocares Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:02 pm

game over

twice very poor defending from the racingmen - they dont really look interested.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:05 pm

Racing camped on our line but held up

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:08 pm

Still camped

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:12 pm

Great defence. 5 minutes on our own line ends with a penalty to us! Yahoo

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:21 pm

4th try

TBP win away in France.

If we can do the same next week at home and Edinburgh can beat the Bloos we are back in the game!!!

Yahoo

by Thomond Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:29 pm

Munster win. The Scarlets supposed "lovely backplay" went nowhere Wink

. Their try coming from a Munster mistake. Munster were poor again but you take 2 HC away wins any way you can.

by **Notch** Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:40 pm

You can so tell Thom is from Cork! Laugh

by Thomond Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:42 pm

Notch,I'm just bantering. Scarlets and Munster were both poor. Scarlets looked more threatening but didn't come incredibly close to scoring another try.

by Hound_of_Harrow Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:43 pm

Scarlets were 'Munstered' but Munster still get away with sealing off at the breakdown. The 'two man into the tackle' carry always ends up with the non ball carrier slumping over the ball carrier preventing the oppo competing mad

When the pen stats came up at one point, my mate said "11 to Scarlets, 7 to Munster, and 94 missed"

Oh, and does the 'BJ' in BJ Botha mean Be Jaaysus?

In all seriousness, Munster still have the nous in this competition.

by Thomond Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:45 pm

Scarlets were guilty of several missed penalties at the breakdown. Mainly not rolling away. They should have been stamped on. Teach them a lesson. Munster did get away with some things but it balances out over a season.

The amount of bitterness Munster get is unreal. It's not like they're that good!

by **Notch** Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:45 pm

Yeah me too pal. I didn't see the second half because I had to lock up at work and then go home. The first half was somewhat scrappier than I had hoped. Sounds like BJ had a good game? Delighted for him.

by Thomond Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:46 pm

He did and went off injued with about 4 minutes to go. Not good.

by **Notch** Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:48 pm

He's still a great player. But given he spent so much time on the treatment table in his last season at Ulster, it wasn't as much of a blow to see him leave as you'd imagine.

by MrsP Sat Dec 10, 2011 8:10 pm

Just back home.

We've been to Bethlehem.

Guess who we saw there!

by Hound_of_Harrow Sat Dec 10, 2011 9:41 pm

Thom - I'm bantering too Wink

.BJB had a good game, hence my moniker for him. Scarlets (and many others) need to understand what it takes to succeed in this competition. Despite the 'romance' of Toulouse rugby, they are one hard nosed, cynical team thumbsup

Sir Ralph Richardson? Simon McCoy? Alan Shearer? Wonderwoman?

You're going to have to give us something more to go on.

Hope the big meet is going swell. Decent win for Munster today though I still have a hunch Scarlets will qualify.

by Hound_of_Harrow Sun Dec 11, 2011 1:12 am

Hoi Willy - they're at the Quo gig in Cardiff now.

My lot lost 19-11 at Bayonne Sad

Laters, kip time for me.
