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!

I shall do my utmost to ensure my attendance. It might be made easier now that I thought it was going to be as eldest daughters birthday is the 20th, and she was going to be having a party on 19th, but now looks as if she will be away on school journey, so hopefully I will be free.

I will move heaven and earth to ensure my attendance. It has been made possible now that I thought it was going to be as eldest daughters birthday is the 20th, and she was going to be having a party on 19th, but now looks as if she will be away on school journey, so I definitely will be free.

A few minor corrections to your reply Pete, otherwise 10/10 mate.

Finally going to get to meet PC Pete

The HC is the weekend of my birtday lads. Start the whip round now...

Glas,

Are you excited about Lee Byrne's inclusion?

Bikkies.

Is this collection to buy you a birt for your birt-day?

No bouncing as in the angry version.

Have you not seen my earlier post Mick?? I got in there first so stop trying to sponge off my whip around

The 53rd round is on me - no need for thanks

I've always wanted a birt. So yes, please.

I'll see what I can do Bikkies.

Although, I hope you've written a nice note to the Birt Beagle and been a REALLY good boy ALL year?

Dear Declan, have you watched Ulster play recently?Have you noticed the form of @PaulMarshall9 and @cgilroy14 ?Please remove your lips from

The ass of the D4 and Munster alicadoos. Dave Kearney and Hurley over Gilroy?? Never mind Jennings over Henry?? This meant to be a phase of

Transition and giving young players a chance?Same old problem in Irish rugby.Please could I have whatever you are on.Yours in rugby Sparky

Sparky is clearly not a happy little mascot today!

Poor Sparky, he is still embittered by the walloping Leo the D4 Lion dished out to him. The wounds havent healed - obviously.

Must go over and give him another cuddle...

I could have written that myself Ozzy.

I didn't by the way and I wouldn't have added the third sentence but I did look at it and think Dave Kearney but not Craig Gilroy???? TOL but not Small Parcel???? And don't even get me started on Darcy.

How????

Why????

But, you know what, while I am very disappointed for those individuals I'm relieved for Ulster and too excited about next weekend to get in a flap.

Just think it sends out all the wrong messages.

There is only one answer to all this. Let's have TWO teams in Ireland and create a 7N competition

That way we Nordies will be happy (ish) and have all our local players and anyone with an Ulster/Bok accent playing international rugby and, more importantly the bods in the IRFU will give a big sigh of relief at not having to choose any token Ulstermen to play in their beloved team.

Gibbo and Rava.......i picked up 'Born To Run' on vinyl for £1....currently blasting out Jungleland!!! Love the crackly sound!!

Never, never, never!!!!

Beauty and the Beast is a documentary about the marriage of Brian O Driscoll and Amy Huberman.

I have just realised that I think, for the first time since I was about 12, Stephen Jones won't be playing in a 6N's. I honestly don't think he's missed one. It's a horrible feeling.

Going here in a bit. Meeting up with ex-workmates for a tipple.

"Ok goys, so we're like, meeting in Fockink Wyands @ 7 bells, roysh?"

Jenever (Gin) proofing. Man, dunno if thats a good start. Its a lovely place tho.

If I come on here later spouting the usual drivel...

Hauld on, ye wont even notice the differ. OK roysh... I get it.

Later folks. Let's be careful out there.

have fun Gibbo

I'm off to Co. Donegal in a bit for a friends 50th Birthday Party. I hope not to be too tipsy when I return home, however........... & will be consumed. Not sure of the quantities.

It's almost that time of year again: Waitangi Day Circle Line Pub Crawl. And nice to see the Constabulary are looking forward to it!

Rava,

On a school night????

Basically the main squad is about 50% Leinster, 25% Ulster and 25% Munster.

Think thats a fair reflection of where the provinces are right now.

I had a really nice salad at Waitangi......

I agree with Dreamer about Stevo, I hope they don't regret leaving him out of the squad. The other fly-halves can be a bit like 'headless chickens' at times. And don't get me started on Henson's inclusion

Just used Skype for the first time to talk to me mum. Very strange, sound and vision were a little out of sync.

Sure it wasn't your mum,Pete?

Big game this weekend? so what...

http://www.asm-rugby.com/120118-sos.html

Thin Lizzy on our telly at the mo. Honestly, himself really shows his age at times......

He's a cradle snatcher!

Having a bit of a discussion on the book of face with my bro re: Henson. It might not end well, neither of us like to concede that we might be wrong!

Pete - how easy is it to set up Skype? been meaning to get around to doing it for a while now.

RD It's very easy to set up.

Not sure to be honest dreamer, the wife set it up.

Seems simple enough to use though.

You agree with me that the Scarlets should sign him but your brawd doesn't?

Ozzy,

For one terrible moment I thought you had said,

"Not sure to be honest dreamer, the wife set it up.

So it must be simple enough"



I think I'm in way to defensive a mood just now!

Nooooooo!!!!! I will be very upset if that happens!!!!!!

I don't think he deserves a place in the Wales squad either.

BTW I'm hoping that your last comment was a wind up Glas.

Thin Lizzy's still on!!! Bored of it now at Penfro

How on earth could I ever agree to that?!

He agrees with Henson's call up to the training squad, and I don't.

Ah i shouldn't argue with him really, it's his birthday and all.......

No, for rugby reasons Henson and Hook are the boys for us.

The big question for me is who will be weeded out. The youngsters? the old guard?

ah we've moved away from discussing the Orange one, good.

Cheers for the feedback on Skype guys, will give it a shot over the weekend I reckon.

Glas - me thinks you and my brawd will agree on a lot of things rugby related.

I think most of the youngsters will be culled, can't see the likes of Robinson actually making the full squad.

Ouch! Who's going to do the 'culling' then Dreamer?

ha culled is perhaps harsh, sorry!

I reckon.....hmmm....Robinson, perhaps Sanjay, Rhodri Jones, torn about Henson being included or not, one of the hooker's perhaps? if so then can see Ken being cut.

Am not really sure on the others

Difficult decisions ahead anyways!

and that's it, I am off to get some sleep. I don't even care that it's before 9:30. Nos da pawb

Nos da Dreamer. And anyone else who's around.

Completely forgot how targetted an out half is. My body is telling me not to move anything.
