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!

Kiwi!!!!!

Now, is that the truth?

Thomond wrote:Glas, face the facts. Scarlets are an average side. Losing 2 HC home games is poor. Not good enough. Their lovely rugby has got them nowhere. Give them a few years.

Who put 10p in you!

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. No. Yes.

The Scarlets fans will trade results for proper rugby. I tried to explain this to Stag in Y Parc and I don't think he could get his head around it. When you have a good pack you can do it. We are two good second rows and a decent prop short of a good pack. What gets me is we picked Priestland, Davies, Williams and North in these big matches because of what they did in the World Cup. It may even be on Gatland's request. However they failed spectacularly to deliver. Our backs don't know how to exploit an overlap or play off the cuff on a turnover, OUR BACKS! Right that's it I've had enough of today, I'm off home.

Asbo,



You rascal!

Glas, I was about to get the men in white coats when you were talking about this rugby over results nonsense. Its like Leinster 10 years ago.

I think was that when I said that Scarlets had arguably a better overall team than Munster but still would lose both matches.

It is nuts.

But the best kind of rugby for winning right now is rugby played at a high intensity with good continuity anyway.

So you're not at cross purposes. Whatever kind of style of game you want to play you need a solid set piece and physicality up front.

It's the kind of rugby Munster aspire to play as well, there's no real ideological difference anymore outside the minds of the fans. Sure Munster are prepared to slow things right down into a series of pick and gos if thats what the game needs but, as far as I can see, so are the Scarlets.

Hey Cari. Any news?

Well how the devil are you, Thom? Long time no speaky. No news with me really. Just having a squiz about the boards to see what's going on...I'm a bit out of touch with the old rugby lately. I'd forgotten the teams were announced yesterday.

No complaints, an underage side I'm involved with are playing a crowd on Saturday who have won the Munster section twice in the last 2 season and I think the All-Ireland once.

Tidy! Hopefully your lot can give them a pasting, that'll really boost their confidence I've the Dubs DVD to watch at some point. Summer seems so far away...

It's rugby not GAA...... The league starts in another few weeks but I'm going to stick to my view that that intercounty GAA season doesn't start until May.

Oh! The way you posted that, I read it wrong

No problem, so how's the new job?

It's that American copy of Budweiser, so it doesn't count.

Take my pills and settle back to watch Swanney's lads give Brive a lesson(I hope)

Quelle heur est de match, Mique?

Off to England at 3.30am. Can't get to sleep so early, so a bath and a mug of warm tea should put me to sleep up then for 3am.

ouch to the early start Stag.

Ooo and meant to ask, did you get my money for the ticket yet?


I sadly have succumed to watching the double bill of Pobol y Cwm. There is genuinely nothing else even remotely interesting on the tv!

Earthflight?

nah I watched that last week and found it a bit irritating, not sure why. Might have a look at what this Edward VII programme is like on Beeb2.

Glas a du wrote:Earthflight?

Oh yes.

We have loads of those parrots in our park. They escaped from the Artis (Amsterdam) Zoo.

Magic to watch them breed and thrive.

Just this Summer, a pelican was fighting herons for fish in the park. Just outside our window. MrsG feeding him Old Amsterdamse Kaas. It was amazing to watch. He also escaped from Artis. Had TV cameras here an all. It took the whole day to retrieve him.

Sometimes, the beauty is just outside your window. Just have to open your eyes to it all.

Without the birds of the Sky, singing, swooping, showing their beauty, making love & nests, this Planet, would be such a lesser place to live in.

agree wtih you on that Gibbo

Denzil!! Wwww drama in Cwm Deri!

there's rugby on sky Dreamer, Sale v Brive.

ooo diolch Mrs Penfro! Didn't realise that was on Sky!

Match started late,traffic jams in Stockport.6-3 sharks after 30 mins

Traffic-jams in Stockport?

Sorry. Just seemed funny.

Genuinely havent checked bank acc Dreamer. Will let you know if any probs.

Yea its early start.

3 am - Wake up
3.30 am - Head to School
4.30 am - Coach to Ferry



However don't mind too much.

Tis for something you're going to enjoy so guess that makes it easier.

Buckley getting minced by the big Georgian in the scrum.

But yea wait for it. He'll make a linebreak, or monster tackle or score a try. He always does one good thing in a really flash way. Gets him on rugbydump, gets him in public eye and people forget about the scrums.

One for the Wall.

Ah Dreamer, its all nature girl. We have vultures in the Human World. They wear suits and deal in money. They will eat yer bones and have dinner parties laffing at it.

At least vultures are honest and up-front.

ah yeah I know Gibbo, but I don't like to see it is all.


And that is me done for the evening, so ridiculously sleepy. Off to cwtch up with an episode of Grey's Anatomy, then sleeeep time for moi.

So are de bankers, ye can tell 'em a mile off if you ken what yer looking fer!

I'd forgotten how Poopie Nick McLeod was

Didn't realise how good the Brive no8 was!!

I am unable to access Sport Guru tonight. Has anyone else had problems?

I had Sale by 6

Claassens and vosloo were a formidable back row pairing,til gerhard went down the road to ASM;talks of Anton following him.Very disappointed by Sale,despite their grief.

one Amlin Cup without Brive would not be the same...they are probably one of the few teams that really care about it though!

True.

I love you by the way. Just thought I'd say that.

If only they were all like you. The Western World, would be a more socially-responsible, more humanly-acceptable - Captalist Society.

I mean that. You tart.

Evening all, beer, music and company sorted.... all round

No-one forgets! Chatting to Irish rugby fans here and elsewhere, you'd be hard pressed to find one who rates him.
