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.

This is the first Pub of 606v2's second year, here's hoping for another good one.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Augustin Pichot, David Campese, Mal O'Kelly and Jim Williams above the bar!

I had to referee an U13 match yesterday. Funny incident from the match. 20 points in the difference and the losing team get a try.

They take conversion 30m out and right on the righthand touchline. If ROG got the kick I'd have been impressed especially as it was horrendous wind and rain.

He kicked a beautiful kick sailing straight towards the posts . . . .but dropped short about 5m. Literally nobody was looking at the posts so I decided to award the kick. His whole team were jumping about celebrating for about 5 minutes. Priceless.

and if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

Breaker, Happy Ozzy day

Morning all, happy Australia Day Breaker <Bundy Rum>

Breaker, how do you celebrate Aussie Day.

Is it a bit like St. Patricks Day but for Australia. Dress in bright gold, attend kangaroo races, watch the Neighbours Australia Day Special and lots of Fosters and BBQs??

I just can't get you out of my head

Got a party tonight and it's one where I'll need jokes. I need your help. Micky T style ones would be perfect.

Thanks in advance,
Munsty.

Munsty, just head to his Facebook account and they'll all be there.

No Stag, no gold clothing, never seen a roo race, don't watch Neighbours nor do I ever, ever drink Fosters (I made that mistake in 1985!)

The BBQ was close though - a nice sirloin steak with potatos and veg was had earlier and slogging down a nice imported German beer now.

Went to Alton Towers yesterday and made the Pirate very angry. That'll teach me to take the p.

I've qualified from Ballet Uni with a 2:2!

I'm reading a book on anti gravity. It's impossible to put down

Latest diet is going badly. Went to a paint shop for thinner but after drinking it I'm no slimmer.

I'm feeling very proud of myself. It's taken me just less than a month to finish a jigsaw. It said 3+ years on the box, in yer face Thomas the Tank.

Morning all, productive day so far doing washing and a run! Now working till 8 tonight which isn't the best feeling oh well....almost the weekend!!

I see from the paper this morning that Tiger Woods, Luke Donald and Rory McIlroy are playing the opening round together at some golf tournament.

McI-y, Donald and Tigger sounds like a new Disney cartoon

Pooh and the sex addict.

Yep, only Friday left after today Prop!

Unreal French squad. Really strong, great to see Malzieu back, can’t believe he didn’t go to the world cup.

Hope you’re well Mick!

Decent side.

Two Lions in the back three?

Ozzy, bit of name dropping I was talking to a certain London Irish player today.

Re: the Saxons - I'd have thought Trinder at 13 and Jonny May at 15.

Also Im surprised to see Gaskell captaining them.

Gaskell has captaincy experience from the U20's and with Sale, so it's a reasonable selection. Trinder is with the seniors as Tuilagi will not be fit to start at 13 against Scotland (Trinder would be my pick at 13 even if Tuilagi was fit to be honest).

Which player were you talking to Stag?

Ah that makes more sense Ozzy. Your token Irish second row.

So whose likely to start at 10- Beauxis or Trinh-Duc?

Notch - DEFINITLEY trinh duc in my opinion.

France havent a hope without him.

Its a sad day for GAA. One of the clubs has called on the GAA to segregate the fans like at soccer matches.

We have 2 of them now Staggy, come on man,, keep up for feics sake

(We do now actually have the same number of Irishmen as Samoans in the squad!)


I'm guessing you are talking about the legend that is BBC anyway. Really hope he stays at the club in some capacity when he retires at the end of the season. #Legend

That is very disappointing news- for the GAA I mean. Is it likely to go that way do you think?

Hard to say Notch, there has been a lot of violence but it is usally on pitch and at grassroots level. It doesn't happen in the intercounty Championship

Did you see the brawl that caused all of this Stag? Awful shame. Segregating crowds for a junior match is not doable, and anyway the row was started when the subs from one team hopped into a row that was breaking out on the field. There was no fighting among fans in the stand, so what's the point in segregating them...

I wouldn't say no hope without Trinh-Duc, but he'd be a big loss for them if he got injured. But that's true of most sides when they lose their first-choice ten.

I did Mick and I agree with you.

They just need a zero tolerance policy on clubs that bring this kind of trouble. They don’t need endless boards and committees pouring over technicalities of one thing or another, they need to just say any club that gets involved with this will be banned from playing championship football or hurling. That would stamp it out quick enough.

The Scarlets app is not only one eyed it's cross eyed.

Brive match 8.15pm Easter Sunday.

Like a hot knife through butter.

Nice invite Staggy... the site looks great.

Our plan there was, we let them have the B&I cup thingy and we can have the HEC one.

That was the deal struck.

There had to be some explanation for our lads playing so terribly!

Stag, the knife didn't need to be very hot. I think the butter was a wee bit soft

Thats true. Ideally we would have both played really well.

But Im happy for a victory where neither team fronted up. Its all about the result.

I really hope that Munster v Ulster delivers as a specactle. Im so happy all you lot are coming down.

Some Ulster ticketing information.

As far as I am aware the Ulster tickets will go on sale to Season Ticket Holders and Sponsors next Wednesday.

Ulster will get an allocation of 6000 tickets.

There are 3700 season ticket holders and each will be allocated two tickets. Get down there fast I would say.

After the initial offer any surplus will be offered to anyone who purchases a Season Ticket for next season. This is what they did last year as well.

Morning all.

Munsty – you want jokes. Try this one. Might be a bit long though.

Jesus decides that it’s time for the Second Coming and returns to Earth. He has heard much good things about a drink called ‘beer’ and is determined to try some while he is back on Earth. Indeed, people even recommended that he try drinking it in a Wetherspoon pub.

Jesus duly wanders into a JDW and orders a pint. While he’s senjoying the wondrous brew he sees a man with a patch over his right eye struggling to read a newspaper. He strolls over and asks the man what happened to his eye. The chap replies “I was blinded in a accident 30 years ago and lost the sight in my right eye.” Jesus places his hand on the man’s head and removes it, telling the man to remove his eye patch.

To the guy’s amazement he can see perfectly out of his right eye. He supplants himself in front of Jesus and wails mutterings of thanks and gratitude.

With that, Jesus spies another man limping to the bar with the aid of a cane and dragging his left leg along. “What happened to your leg?” Jesus asks the fellow. “Ah Lord” he says. I suffered a terrible accident at work when a heavy load fell on me, crushing my left leg.

Jesus places his hand on the mans leg and then removes it, telling the man to cast away his cane and walk. Lo and behold the man’s leg is perfect and he can walk unaided for the first time in many years.

He too supplants himself in front of Jesus and wails mutterings of thanks and gratitude.

At this point a guy walks to the bar grasping a crutch, but with no obvious signs of impediment. Jesus approaches him and the guy says “Feic off and don’t you dare touch me.”

Righty, planning to start for the asap! oooo I can't wait.

How you thinking of getting there Glas? (you are going right?)

And G'day all, hope everyones well.

Stag - a PM is on it's way to you.

G'day, Dreamer. Do you know, I must have missed the part of the Tour of Four when you were given the nickname Shovey Lovey. When did that happen?

Luckless, we didn't give it to her. She told us. She is a self styled Shovey Lovey.

It was mentioned on the Friday (I think you'd gone to catch your train at that point Lucky), and Stag decided to share the story on the Saturday, the scoundrel
