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?

Its the same thing really. Not the full package by any means.

Nah lucky I'm with staggy's metaphor. Plus if you think about it you can have a wicked couple of hours with the beautiful girl and then make a dash for the exit by the end.

I'm still talking rugby btw...

Yea see Lucky its because you think she's great. Beautiful girl at first glance looks great. Six Nations in theory sounds great. But when you acutally try engage it properly you realise whats lacking.

But that something's not always lacking. In the last few years we might not have seen brilliant rugby, but that's not to say we won't this time around.

Thats true Lucky.

BTW two epics anagrams:

President Clinton Of The USA = To Copulate He Finds Interns
Mother In Law = Woman Hitler

Morning all,


Off today!!!


Couldn't sleep last nigh till about 4am for some reason, but sure no need to worry about that when I'm off.

You all really have it in for middle-aged ladies today haven't you?

I think I shall leave until the company is more congenial

Not especially, Kia - I have it in for middle-aged ladies all the time.

Indeed. Though I'll be a busy boy with the 6 Nations. I'll be at quite a few of them this year so maybe I'll fall in love with them. Ireland v Wales, France v Ireland, Ireland v Italy, Wales v France.

Im hoping the game as a neutral will win me over.

Can't believe that you won't be in attendance for my bi-annual pilgrimage to Dublin for Ireland vs Scotland

To put it in gentleman's terms if you've been out for a night and you're looking for a young lady and you pull one, some weeks they're good looking and some weeks they're not the best. Last years 6 Nations would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She wasn't the best looking lady we ended up taking home but she was very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much, let's have a coffee

I will now that I know your coming Asbo.

Red Stag = Your full of shiiit you are, you actually are the love child of the 6 nations and the Pro12


(if you look hard enough its there)

Its actually my middle name Hughie. How did you know.

Fixed that for you As.

Bore da/good morning all.

Really tired today, didn't get to sleep till 2 and was up at 7. Gone and gotten myself addicted to watching Grey's Anatomy again. I always seem to make the mistake of pressing play all instead of select episode whenever I put a new disc in

Hello Michael!!!!!

Alright Hughbert. How goes it?

Without actually getting into the discussion in here (plenty of threads for it) do you think these new IRFU measures are good or bad? I think they’re Shiite myself.

Dreamer, is there a difference between Grey's Anatomy and, say, Doctors?

Doctors as in the day time tv show?

If so then yes, Grey's Anatomy is brilliant, Doctors....isn't.

Absolute pile of hoop mick, it makes no sence. Who gets choice of who, when do they get this choice?? It's a load a ballix and I expect a u-turn over the next few weeks. Back to the 4+1 from next year and leave it at that and we Irish will continue to gather Heineken Cups.


Thanks for coming

I was half-teasing, Dreamer - but I really don't see the attraction of any medical dramas.

How are the Irish going to stop the problem of havint too many NIQ in certain positons though (like in the front row) if they don't do something similar to what they've proposed?


Lucky - ah I wasn't sure if you were or not I don't usually like them, this is the only one I really watch. Just love it, the soundtrack is amazing and curse it, it really is addictive. Some great characters in it too.

oh and looks like Ben Morgan has chosen England: http://www.scarlets.co.uk/eng/news/4544.php


Guess this'll mean he'll leave the Scarlets when his contract is up

It it a HBO show? They usually make great programmes.

No. The mistake is that you are looking at the 6 N as a sexual object rather than respecting her whatever her sex, age or sexuality. Platonic relationships can be more fun and last longer. Learn to flirt without pulling your man sausage out at the first opportunity.

Ive decided to trust the IRFUs judgement. Im still 99% sure its illegal but Im gonna wait and see what happens.

I applaud Ben Morgan to be honest. Still has a desire to play for his home. Thats good loyalty.

Aye it is Stag, Wales may have given him the chance to make it as a pro rugby player but he's still a guy who would have grown up dreaming to play for England, can't fault him for the decision at all.

Lucky - I think it is, not really sure, I don't really pay any attention to who makes the actual shows!

Ben Morgan's made the right decision, I'd say. It's one thing saying you feel proud of playing for a country other than your own when you don't have a hope of playing for your own country, but when you do have a chance of playing for your own country, you'd have to take it.

Exactly Lucky.

I know if I were ever very good at sport (a highly, highly unlikely situation I know), and I got good at the sport in say Ireland or England, if I had the choice to play for them or Wales, wouldn't even be a choice for me, twould be Wales everytime.


And why is 1pm so far away? I've made a lush batch of cauliflower and vintage cheddar soup (I don't actually know what vintage cheddar is, I just used to the normal kind!), and I really want to eat it right now. Starvo

So Wales is a step down from England luckless

I haven't said that have I, Hughie?

And it has nothing to do with playing for the Scarlets. I can't see any reason for him not to continue doing so.

Lancaster played for Cumbria with my brother, dontchaknow.

Because England want players playing in England, don't they, Glas?

Lancastar might not for now, but I'd wager whoever the new long term coach is would have a similar wish to Johnno.

GOOD (long term) for IRISH rugby
BAD (short term) for the individual provinces

So he's good enough to play for Wales but not for England

Penfro, do you think in long term provinces can keep as competitive with this initative.

Ha, well played Hughie, but that's not was I was trying to say!

And Scotland U19s (but possibly not with your bro, Glas?)

They all say that Dreamer, like saying "cakes are generally a good thing"

The main issue for me is the symbiotic relationship between club success and national success - for me this decision risks the former (ie if sufficient Irish quality just happens not to be available in a particular position) which will ultilmately affect the latter - why risk it?

What have you got against cakes, Glas? Or is it just that you're pro-biscuit?

You just need to be patient - buy the normal kind, shove it in a cupboard for 2-3 years, and then hey presto, it's vintage! (Similar to Gib)

Paul O'Connell signs a new deal!!!

With Munster until 2014

You leave my mother out of this.



Thanks for coming

Gibbo was locked in a cupboard for three years?!

Yeah Lucky that's why he rarely comes out till it gets dark!!

Afternoon all, managed to stop myself coming on here till lunchtime for once so a for me!!

Bit gutted about Morgan however: he's a west country boy so maybe Glaws will come calling....fingers crossed.

I see Ibanez has tipped us to top our HC group. Slightly more optimistic than me there Rafa!

Afternoon Prop, how's tricks?

Willy, you can beat Leicester at Ravenhill, I don't doubt that for a minute.
