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 Nigel Walker, Stephen Ferris, and Planet Rugby's team of the round above the bar!

Last week Stag picked Toner in his starting team, I’m not the only one who’s noticed that he’s playing well. it has nothing to do with who he plays for.

Chillax Mick, It's going to be a long day buddy

That really sums up Condon. By all account is a good scrummager at AIL and Munster A levels.

Micko and Billy Holland are probable replacements. We've lost Denis Leamy, Niall Ronan, David Wallace and Tommy O'Donnell to injury so down to bare bones now.

First game of netball in 6 weeks last night, and we were on fire for the 1st 3 quarters (our shooter's jet-lag kicked in at the end, she got married in Australia last weekend and flew back in on Sunday). We won 23-16, after leading 22-9 at 3/4 time, and we were playing a team who've beaten us the last 2 times out

Good stuff Kiwi.. how are the legs? I must get back into the swing of things too. Need to do things either early morning or evening time because it's so bloody hot & humid during the day now.

Gotcha though Bikkies!



Excited!

Legs are OK today, I felt the calves a couple of times last night on full "lean". I was only playing GK last night though, playing GD tomorrow will be a bit more of a test.

Leo Cullen is out for 8-10 weeks.

Schyte.

Have to say Mick. You know your second row situation is poor when Leo Cullen is a massive loss. And he is a massive loss to Leinster.

bore da/good morning all, how is everyone today?

Today is a special day, and no not because of the squad announcements which will have the whole board bickering, but because tis my brother's birthday. So a penbwlydd hapus to him

What happened to "Plug"?

It's not a bad time of the year for it to happen, we don't have THAT many games over the 6 nations period and he'll likely be back before the HC QF, he wasn't playing well this year, maybe we'll see Sykes get a good run if he can stay fit...

MrsP wrote:What happened to "Plug"?

He's getting an operation on each of his Achilles tendons. They've been acting up all season apparently, this seems like the best time to do it because he won't be in the Irish squad and he could be back in time for the HC.

MrsP wrote:What happened to "Plug"?

I hope thats a Beano reference cos thats an epic call. Hilarious.

I always think he looks like Miley Byrne off Glenroe.

Sounds like a huge risk.

Hope it all goes well.

And Stag, yeah, it's from the Bash Street Boys in the Beano!

Same reason Leamy decided to get his operation at this time of year.

Blydi hell Stag, I'm struggling to remember the last time you made a serious post

#biggestwumon606v2

Delighted to see Roger 'Sarge' Wilson commit his future to the red hand cause. He's comin back on a three year deal.

Someone called me boring once. I took it to heart.

Apparently James Downey is coming back to Munster.

100% believe that is not the player you need in that position. Neither the calibre of player or the style of player.

However, it's obvious that the IRFUs little hand grenade thrown into the provinces is having an effect already. Big recruitment drive to bring back Irish players from overseas can be expected this summer.

Tommy Bowe, come on down. White suits him better!

Don't listen to Notch, Staggy, you keep wumming away - it amuses me greatly, nearly as much as pulling MrsP's plonker

Would Tommy Bowe be guarenteed a start at Ulster just now?

Hey!

I never said I didn't like it. Some of his work on the Keith Earls thread was damn fine. Damn fine.

Notch I don't mind it too much really with Downey. Not the best but the best 12s aren't available really. I think he could be ok.

Jasus that was a tough day, started at nine finished at half ten. Tough tough going

I hope you didn't get paid for that!

Asbo,

Hughie thats either a brutal 13 hour shift or your a jammy fellow.

It's me Staggy, what one do you think it is

hughie1986 wrote:It's me Staggy, what one do you think it is

Very true Mr Jam!

Though saying that I'm getting paid to go to watch Munster play at the weekend as well as an extra 2 days holidays due to it taking up my weekend

Mrs P, of course I did, a full 8 hours as well

Speaking of Saturday, I've a mate over and were going to the Fulham v Newcastle game, organised all this months ago, and when does it kick off 15:00 Saturday. Hughie is not to pleased about this.

Ooooops!

bit of an error there me thinks Hughie.


Just seen the Wales squad. Both happy and bemused/worried at the same time. Some pretty strange calls in there!

Ireland name their squad.

Paul Marshall doesnt make it or into the Wolfhounds

However there are 6 uncapped players named in the Senior Irish Squad - O'Mahony, O'Halloran, Nagle, McAllister, Conway and Zebo.

http://www.irishrugby.ie/news/25402.php

Also Luke Fitz is with the Wolfounds.

only with the wolfhounds? surprised by that!

chuffed for calls ups again for Lou Reed, Sanjay and Rhodri Jones from the Scarlets. A bit worried that Gatland has said RobGog and Josh T were unavailable - that was news to me!

14 minutes in and the Ireland squad discussion has only 3 comments. this is very weird!!

We are losing our status as chattiest 606ers

there's still plenty of time Stag, perhaps they are all out on their lunch.

Speaking of which, am off to get mine

Also, this will never happen!

Hmmm,


Point 1. Drop TOL for P Marshall
2. Thought Cullen was injured
3. Fitzgerald will be moved to the senior squad after the wolfhound game
4. Id swap Jennings for Henry
5. Who is Ronan Loughney



That's all for now

afternoon yall
how come there is no thread going on about the welsh 35 training squad annoucement?

whocares - there is, it was announced on the Ireland v Wales build up thread, tis being discussed there

got my supervision in about 5 mins. My manger is not going to like me once I'm finished I don't think.

Picking a week when I'm feeling like crap is probably not the best time to talk to me about how I'm finding work!
