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?

All the rest, besides Toulouse, Clontorf, Quins & ASM - is dirge.

Hope that doesnt cause a problem for any other other fans we may know.

From an Ulsterman who knows

Oh my Pete. That was beautiful.


When the Welsh see that(again?), they will cry. I would.

Nice.

Oooooh I loved that advert. I love that song. Spinetingling.


Damn it Shings!

I was just waiting for the last shirt to turn blue Gibbo

Have you completed the forms yet Swanny?

I reckon you'd make a great writer too - short stories, quirky plays... that type of thing. One thing leads to another as they say.

ooooo that youtube vid just ended with a link for a Stephen Jones video tribute online

This Pub has moved around a bit. Like a big aul tort.

But. I still love it. The people make it so.

Oh yeah Gibbo,

The Welsh will indeed cry when they see that their Great Welsh Hope (according to the advertisers) has just been called up to Scotlands 6 Nations squad!



You really are being a rascal tonight Ozzy!

Actually, it is a really lovely advert.

She is such a stirrer that one

Comes across as some kind of Wonder Mom...

She is.

But, she just loves to stir it up.

Wasn't meaning to be Rava. Jujst explaining the situation to the aul Jackeen who seemed to have missed the point!

I'm gutted he's chosen Scotland MrsP, really gutted. Thought he had a huge future for Wales


Also finished reading back.

Swanny - good luck with your proof reading course! I applied to do one when I was 17 and was still considering not going to Uni. Typical lazy arse I was I never finished it (which is probs a good thing, considering how bad my spelling can be, not sure I'd be all too good being a proofreader!). Very good luck with it though . I reckon you'll be brilliant at it.

It's hard isn't it. I imagine he would have loved to play for Wales too just wasn't sure he'd get the chance.

X.

LB, I have completed the forms, and put them in the post box.

One thing does indeed lead to another and I really do feel like I've had a moment!

Thanks Dreamer really hope you have your moment soon.

Is that a wee hint there Gibbo?

He'd have more of a fight on his hands perhaps MrsP, but if you truly wanted to represent a country, imo it would be worth it, to wait it out for that chance.

Guess I just don't understand how he'd want to represent another country other then that he's already played for, but I know it's not the same for everyone. I just find it a bit hard to take that he's been so pro Wales up until a couple of months ago. Just a bolt out of the blue.

Ha, I hope I have my moment soon too, Swanny. One day like, one day

righty, I'm off to get some much needed sleep.

Nos da pawb, to all. You guys...you're all brilliant

I was just about to post that link Penfro.

I was at the first match in that clip. We were sharing a bottle of whiskey - a quick slug when ever Ireland scored. We only had enough for one more slug in the second half. Best game I was ever at - well one of the best.

But, for the life of me I cannot imagine who you might think is the best player of Michael Campbell Henderson Gibson is only second best. You need to adjust your spectacles, Penfro.

THE GREATEST as voted by players & coaches in Rugby World magazine. You may have heard of him

(Been trying to post that for nearly an hour, but been having a few problems )

Sorry Penuckle I never did get the opportunity to vote.

Just listen to Head Mistress/Chair of Guvnors, Penfron. I do.

Shes right.

You started this by posting that great vid. I blame you.

Yeah we all know Edwards was a great Welsh player, but, better than Gibson? Reel it in man.

The rest of the World - outside de Valleys - knows better.

Edwards = greatest. FACT. END OFF I'm away to the hay

PenfroPete wrote:Edwards = greatest. FACT. END OFF I'm away to the hay

You're wrong no matter what you decide.

You think Gibson was the greatest. Professional rugby players and coaches think Edwards was

Not going to argue with you - I'm right

Shane Willaims got World Player of The Year. Yeah really?

I think that gives some prespective on International judging panels.

Edwards was not fit to lace Gibsons boots.

Its a Best v Giggs thing. Only one winner in real life.

Got Gibs on ya last.

Especially those with Welsh in them!

I'm in the Irish Panel with Gibbo by the way!

Only scored against England then did he?

I'm reliably informed that Gibson stood out on a poor Irish side much like BOD in the first 3/4 of his career.

Then again my informant thought Gareth Edwards a hugely over rated glory hunter and it was the Welsh front five that deserve the credit, giving him the cushiest of armchair rides.

By the way, Shane is the best Welsh player ever as he transformed Wales from wooden spooners to double grand slammers by changing the way we played. Just saying.

No he was born in Swansea as far as I'm aware. His brother Aaron was born in England.

And bore da pawb, just made myself a lush breakfast. Good start to the day

Afternoon all. Man some of you stay up late. I feel like an old man going to bed so early

I knew one of them was born in Aldershot dreamer. Was there father in the army?

No. He had a bike

Not got a clue about is father sorry Pete, don't know too much about the family. Didn't even know their mother was Scottish until this week!

Hearing good reports about the Italian referee in CCS last night, prepared to stand up to Leinster at the breakdown apparently.

instead of laying down with them Glas?

Good to hear!
