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 the pictures of Chris Paterson, Steve Thompson and Jonny Wilkinson above the bar!

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

Ale

have you 'bookmarked' the link MrsP ? or is this a feature I should include in the TV Guide

by MrsP Fri Dec 30, 2011 7:43 pm

Maybe you should have a special "Idiots" section, just for me!

Fair enuf, but 3 v 2 wins. I thought that was a Democratic house.

Good try. Nice forward-pass by Cave. That lad O Dea is a threat from Munster.

by MrsP Fri Dec 30, 2011 7:46 pm

Woooo Hoooo!

Well no.

More pragmatism.

They can't watch their program on the puter so this way is fairer!

Our seconds are better than the Dragons firsts. Hugely frustrating errors or we could have this one on the bag. Dreading the second half, the dragons may wake up The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub - Page 4 1054138444

Well done Willie Faloon!!!!!

Thats Humphries in a nutshell. Can create and score great tries. Then kicks like a girl.

by Gibson Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:17 pm

Ulster playing really well. TBP coming up.

You leave our iHumph alone!

How is that Munster's scrum????

Never thought I'd see a Munster pack 'mullered' like that Shocked

by Gibson Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:22 pm

Thats game. Bring some of the kids on at 60 mins. They deserve it after last week.

So sorry to see Paddy Mac go off.

Good to see Paddy Mac smiling on the bench at the end.

I hope he's okay!

Well done to Ulster. Despite us sending out a terrible team and the result not being a shock I see a few Munster fans having a whinge about it being a flattering score etc.

by Guest Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:02 pm

well we were very very lucky Dragons didn't have a proper kick on for the last 20 mins.

Super, SUPER chuffed with the win though, nailbiting stuff for the last few mins though, so thought the Dragons were going to get the try for the win!

Commiserations to Dragons fans Hug

by MrsP Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:09 pm

Thanks Stag.

I thought we did some things much better than of late.

I know you weren't expecting much but a TBP against any Munster side is worth celebrating for Ulster fans!

Really sorry you couldn't have been here now so we do our best not-rubbing-it-in smiles!

Hug

by Glas a du Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:13 pm

The second team won you the league last season Stag. The Scarlets only played for five minutes in that whole match. After about half an hour in fact the went to pot, but still won. That's often how you win away from home, just take limited chances and hope for the best. Glasgow home on the 7th is a good step up to prepare for Northampton on the 14th. I can't symathise too much with the Dragons as they had a 23 man squad, surely they can make sure more than two players can take the kicks?

by Guest Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:20 pm

You would have thought so Glas, although to be fair, one of them was straight in front of the posts, not quite sure how the poor guy managed to miss that one.

I wasn't too impressed with Georgie this evening. He still doesn't look fully fit to me.

by Guest Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:21 pm

oop and congrats Ulster, just seen that scoreline, no mean feat to get a TBP against any Munster side, fair play.

by red_stag Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:26 pm

This wasn't our second team though Glas. This was arguably 3rd or 4th choice in some places with the inclusion of David O'Callaghan, Duncan Williams, Tommy O'Donnell, Luke O'Dea, Tommy Gleeson, Ian Nagle in the starting team.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad they played but the result was never in doubt IMO. Denying Ulster the try bonus point was the objective and it never came to pass unfortunately.

Ulsters NIQ did very well - Afoa, Muller, Terblanche, Pienaar and Wannenberg were all good IMO and many Ulster kiddies did well too especially Faloon who was very good.

Keatley did very poorly today I felt. However I think Munster would actually do better with him as first choice 10 and O'Gara as our Pro 12 candidate.

by MrsP Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:35 pm

I agree on Faloon, although he is 25 so not sure how much of a kiddie he is!

He was my MOTM.

Chris Henry did well and Darcy too I thought.

And Paddy Mac before his injury!

by red_stag Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:38 pm

Thats true though but 25 isn't that old for a forward. Afoa was my MOTM. Set up your first try, scored your second try and solid scrummaging gave you the other tries. Had comfortably the biggest impact in the game.

by MrsP Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:39 pm

Well the beeb agreed with you!
