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 Steve Shingler, Tim Visser and Sean Maitland above the bar!


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

Delighted for Dragons. 1st win in yonks.

At least they get the bonus point. What a finish.

Where's Lucky-damus?

I reckon he'll be having a cracking time at Dave parade Glas, the atmospthere at the end sounded amazing.

That was so close by Biggar though for the DG, unlucky not to get it.

Commiseration to the O's fans, you guys really stepped it up in the 2nd half, and at least you get the LBP


Dragons fans - congrats! great win for you guys!

Glad the Dragons won to be honest!!

Now time to watch the film 'Submarine' love it.

Cave in the corner for Ulster. Marshall outstanding. Bonus point on the road. Excellent.

Darren Cave finishes off an Ulster counterattack! We have the bonus point try.

Ulster 39-20 Edinburgh with about five or so minutes to go. God this should be on TV.

Fantastic for Ulster

Marshall and Pienaar should start next week, Humphs injury just puts the button on it.

Ulster 42-20 Edinburgh final score!!

Five points on the road, bring on Leicester.

Thanks Billy. Two good back to back victories and 10 much needed league points. Expectation will be high for a similar result next Friday night against Leicester.

Liecester will be tough Rava but i think that Ulster at home may just have enough. Very impressed with Ulster, very impressed.

Billy I have always felt that we would do well enough at home this year, including against Leicester. That they will be without Flood and Tuilagi will be a massive for us. They really struggled during the WC without Flood and it was he who dictated most of the game at Welford Road. A win should be on and the much needed TBP looks achievable now following our latest two performances.

Is a win enough to quailfy you from the pool.

A TBP is alot to hope for to be honest Rava, even with Tuilagi and Flood out. Leicester are not bad in defence. A win is defo on te cards but a big win is going to be extremely tough. I will be watching and cheering you boys on though

Not to talk soccer but came across this lad called Patrick O'Connell on the web.

The first southern Irishman to play for Manchester United, he captained Ireland winning the Home Nations Championship and went onto coach in Spain winning multiple trophies with FC Barcelona, Racing Santandar, Real Betis and Sevilla.

I have NEVER heard anyone even Gibbo who is always harping on about the good old days mention him???

Way before our time Stag

Yea but not Gibbos time. He actually played in the first ever game of soccer believe it or not. Some beeky chastard called William Web Ellis stole the ball!!!!

Never heard of him Stag but then i really am no football fan at all.

How do you survive in die Niederländer (I know thats German not Dutch)

What do you mean, how do i survive in Holland stag?

Same as in Ireland i guess. I do miss the mighty sixmilebridge though........ for 5mins a year

I suspect he eats regular meals, and has some form of liquid intake that provides bodily sustenance

I also sleep every now and then Rava

I had meant what with it being the land of total football.

Oh I forgot your a 6milebridge-man. Hurling all the way!!!! Some of my family moved out to Meelick from Limerick. Heretics moving to Clare.

Rava -

I have my first match in about 2 months refereeing this weekend. My new lifestyle of working full time, studying part time and often travelling at weekends has meant that something had to give.

Its a pity I found out today that the amount of games I missed this year will cause me not to progress for a while. Ah well, there's more to life. . .heck there's more to rugby.

There is also rugby here stag, not the best quality but its rugby. They also have cricket whish is another sport i like.

Its a great life here, i have a nice house in a nice area and a pretty decent job so all is good ;-)

Oh, and an incredibly sexy Norwegian Fiancé

Sounds amazing an amazing lifestyle. You've the right idea. Irish women aren't good enough.

BTW congrats on your engagement. Whens the big day.

Noswaith dda / good evening all. Is there anything better than watching your team get a match-winning lead, hand (or grummer-kick) your opponents the chance of winning it, and then seeing them get the win they so badly needed?

Probably not. Maybe a posh five knuckle shuffle, but otherwise no, nothing.

If boring to simply take the lead and hold onto it. I prefer to come from behind as late as possible.

[EDIT: I've just read what I wrote. I'm not gonna change it. Whether or not double meaning is applied is upto you!!!]

Its in the summer stag, when there is daylight in Norway
Been engaged for a fair while so its nothing really new but thanks

Irish women scare me more than Welsh women......

I've heard you like coming from behind, Stag, but I've chosen to ignore it.

Luckless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All Munster men do!!!

What? The only thing i like coming from behind at is a damn fine looking ewe

Can you imagine POC's wedding night? The bride assumes her position then him and 7 of his mates just flop onto her.

A cut-and-paste job:

Some game. What a difference to see Dragons players running on to the ball every now and then! If we're not careful, Toby's going to get sick of making breaks, looking 'round and finding no one on his shoulder. But we won. Hooray and thank feck for Gwent, we won!

Also, a word for Lewis Robling. A good rugby player and it must have been music to his ears to have the crowd cheering his interception try after they'd mocked his missed kicks against the Scarlets. Ma' Lewis yn siarad Cymraeg, felly: da iawn ti, Lewis!

He's a cousin of mine

Glas, his bride is Donncha O'Callaghan, everyone knows that. The ceremony was conducted by Dougie Howlett but he ended up stamping the roof in.

DOC: be gentle now Paulie

POC: feic off you big blouse!

Crouch. . . Touch. . .Pause. . . . . . . . . .ENGAGE

DOC is older than POC.

Can acronyms age?

No, but they do lose a vowel when they get older.

Acronyms don't die, they just RIP.

Are Wales DTS this 6N?

So G, your S are up against G, who have come down from S to try to B you at your own G?

Foreign acronyms now FFS!

Sai'n D nawr. Fi 'di M.

NY (totally) LM, LP.

MOM GFG

Breaker, my Antipodean pal,(eh, geddit?) what time is it with you?
