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 John Hayes, Craig Gilroy,
Niall O'Connor, Ben Skirving and Jonny May above the bar!

After last week, my trust in the pack has diminished too much to play out half again this week. Add in the shocking training and I much prefer the wide open spaces of full back.

Yea. Alls good. Tone can be hard to gauge online but yup all fine. Would have pegged you as a centre myself.

At this level, they want big boshers in at centre or the guys who have put on too much weight to play out wide.

Or University rugby players.

This is quite a sad story:

Breaker's overtaken me in the Dew Drop Inn Fantasy Premier League! We'll soon see about that...!

Do you want me to sort out some sort of handicap system for you all to make the league a bit more interesting in the run in? You know since I'm sooo far ahead and that. #doingmybitforthoselessfortunate

You know the fable of the tortoise and the hare, don't you?

For those who also follow the Northern code, I've set up a 606v2 SuperLeague SG pool:

omg... I'd almost completely forgotten about that lucky. I can't believe I'm 3 points ahead. Better go check my team.

Also, that other PRO12 fantasy team comp. I keep deleting the link. It's a pain to manage. So slow. Don't know why I even bother!

40-odd posts left in this pub, nominations please for wall pictures in the next one.

Let's have a photo of Campo.

Agustin Pichot, one of my favourite ever rugby players (who isn't from Ulster or Ireland)

Just had an electrician here to have a look at fixing our outside lights that blew off in the storm. Got to talking rugby and he is going to see what he can do about getting a few tickets for the match.

First one is fine Swanny, I'll just have time to drop him at the airport on the way back from Limerick, where he will once again be Standing Up For The Ulstermen

Glas, have you got a link to the Amlin qfs?

Glas, where is this info coming from? No dates/times have been set on the ERC website. Scarlets website shows a complete blank for that weekend on the fixtures page.

On my Scarlets app it says:

Thursday 5th April

CA Brive-Correze v Scarlets

Amlin Challenge Cup

KOT 00.00 5/4/12 (this normally means it's not been finalised)

Thanks for thad folks. Aerlingus from Gatwick seems like the best bet, nice price as well at only 70 quid. Happy days!!!!!

There's a Scarlets app? What an age we live in.

Thank you, matey

Yeah!

Looks fantasic. All the bells and whistles and everything.

Just don't expect it to grind out an answer when the going gets tough!

Ballet!!!!

Presumably you have to shut one eye when you're using it.

And it shouts "pass the ball or run with it, don't kick it" all the time

Thank you, matey

My question to you the other day shold make sense now!!!

You have to be careful though, As. If you have the Scarlets app and the Ospreys app on your phone at the same time, it'll explode.

Ulster don't have an app

I doubt the Dragons have one.

They do, but its in Afrikaans

Glas a du wrote:Ulster don't have an app

Aye they do but it usually stops working after group stages of the Heineken Cup

Who you supporting now Hughie?

Wife and three kids.

Anyone but London Samoa

Ah Hughie, that's almost as tired as the Ulster Saffa jibes #rubbishbanter

You flipping a coin for red or blue this year then, or just waiting til the end of the season for which new bandwagon to jump on?

I think Hughie will cheer for Ulster once the others are out, to be fair

Ah leave Hughie alone lads, he already has an Ulster HC game under his belt this season

For sure Notch, it will the big white bandwagon for Hughie next

That's true, he's a good 'un.

To be fair, I think we all will row in behind the other provinces if our own goes down. If Munster do maintain that excellent home record I'll certainly be hoping they can win their semi-final as well.

Does the Aviva count as home then?

Hypothetical Munster v Leinster final. What colour are you wearing that day?

The only logical colour there is on such an occasion; Purple...

Puce.

Na your dead right Pete, I do deserve abuse for supporting Ulster, everyone deserves abuse for supporting Ulster
