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 Rhys Thomas, Ben Castle, Andy Fenby and Bill McLaren above the bar!

Good move for Downey at 30 years old. However I can just hear the Munster fans getting ready with their "Downey should be Ireland's No 12" speeches

Being honest Rava I have mixed feelings.

No doubt some will.

Was thinking the exact same myself.

The combination of your advice to Munsty and Stag and the thought of you giving somace to someone in distress has made me laugh!

I sincerely hope the advice on the phone did not include the expression "man up!"

No, it's just that I had expended my compassion quota on him and had none left for them!

Perfectly sound advice, Glas - don't be put off by these modern-day, new-fangled quack types

Don't worry, Rav, Sin é is already preparing his stats book

Did everyone hear Asbo just say I was modern and New Fangled?



Mind you, compared to him that's not actually saying that much.

BRILLIANT!

Even though Deccie’s decision to plump for a few young guns in an extended squad appears to be a nod toward tinkering, by the end of the campaign it will surely prove to be no more than a red herring. See? Even his herrings are from Munster!

I've just agreed to cook dinner for me and my pal before the rugby on Sunday...could be interesting...

Oh. Not interesting or cool enough? Too off topic? Ah well...am off out soon, have good a afternoon anyone who's lurking.

Has to be on a Welsh theme so Cari, rarebit and leeks yeah?

Cari,

I was just out in the garden trying to put the playhouse back the right way up after it got blown away the other week. It's in a sorry state alright. Needs a fair bit of work to make it right.

What are you planning to cook?

Leek and Potato soup would be a good one!

Also Super Bowl, Ho! My take on the game.

You know Thomond. I have never ever been able to get into that game. My brother who lives in America swears by it but i just cant get into it, too stop start for me.

Gibbo and Hughie, please note

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

I got the job!!! Just waiting for a start date to be agreed now and we're off and running!

Drinkies!!!

Well done Swanny

Congratulations Swanny really chuffed you got it. Can't do anymore smilies as I'm on the mobile in a cafe.

Swanny That's brilliant News!! Soooo pleased for you!

Ozzy3213 wrote:Prop, are these youngsters who have fallen off the straight and narrow path that you assist in getting jobs for and working with?

Aye that's it!!

oooo well done Swanny

Congrats Swanny

I'm impressed prop, we don't see many success stories with rehabilitating the young offenders around here. Most get invovled with Youth justice Schemes initially but then seem to breach their requirements and continue off the rails.

Good work buddy.

Does Ozzy think Swanny is a young offender????

Well done Swanny! I'm sure the gravy will be perfect.

Prynhawn da pawb / good afternoon all. I've had a busy day and a horrible one. I need a strong and all we've got in the office is Tetley.

Just read up the page - looks like a drink is due for Swanny! Awesome news. That's cheered me up, that has!

Afternoon all, just survived my PDR . Touch wood there's an OK bonus as a result.

Congrats Swanny!

<armagnac> Swanny,great news

Swanny, black pudding all round!

Is the Wales injury list actually a positive factor?

• takes the pressure off
  
• new players get a chance to shine
  
• may make Ireland complacent
  
• will spice up competition for places later in the tournament
  

Just seen that the man who beat Henry Cooper has died in Miami;bon voyage,Angelo.

Glas, do you not feel a wee bit torn between Wales and Ireland given your recent conversion to the Ulster fold?

Eifion Lewis Roberts returns to Sale from Toulon, where Sheridan will be taking his place.
Talk of Mafi going to USAP;Porical to Biarritz;cibray from Toulon to Castres.
And the cerise sur le gateau/icing on the cake-talk of going back to a Top16

I kind of deal with anything but it is a rewarding job however....sometimes it is demanding for example: today I've had 2 people get jobs and one burst into tears so it's pretty much a rollercoaster...........ah well squash tonight then my sis is cooking dinner and then the missus is coming down to stay so can't complain!! Back to the forest tomorrow too!!

Farewell, but not adieu.

I am bowing out now until after the Ireland match.

7777 has a special resonance for Welsh rugby. Maesteg, the old Parish, have the number embroidered on their badge. In the graveyard in Maesteg there is a gravestone with the number engraved on it. The family of the deceased could not afford the mason and had to employ the apprentice. He couldn't do the figure 8 so instead of engraving 28, he engraved 7777 as the man's age. Some of the best Welsh players have come from this coal mining town, once a first class side in Wales. Recently three of them Kevin Ellis, Alan Bateman and John Devereux were still prepared to turn out for this great old club.

See you Sunday, and may the best side win.

Billy, I got into it in a bit of an unusualy way, was over at a friends place and got playing Madden 11, decided to check out some of the matches on the interweb and I was hooked. You don't notice the pauses that much at the actual games (I went to the one in London this year) and American commercials are usually pretty entertaining so it's not all bad. The team who I support are awful though, they have a jersey that looks like an ice cream

Is that with the new doris?

I've just made my SG picks for the weekend: I have France by 32, Scotland by 20 and Ireland by 13. I know that's how the results will go because I've been scrying furiously since I got home from work.

For dinner on Sunday - it's got to be a roast, no?

SG picks now... almost forgot!

Irish people who love their fry ups may be interested to know that every time you know buy some Clonakilty Black Pudding, you're helping out Cork City FC. I'm guessing Dreamer will be having some at the weekend.

She might get around to eating some black pudding, too.

Ha haa, thats very orange

I have been to watch a game with my brother in the states but it just makes no sense to me at all..

I think how I got into the game shows how crucial it is to have a successful rugby game on the PS3/Xbox.

I dont even have a PS3 or Xbox. The only thing i have is a Wii and i never use that either..... God i am old and boring........

The only console I have is a Wii. Well, I still have my Mega Drive II somewhere, but the sound's gone on it.

I actually do still have a sega system somewhere and a commodore64. Havent seen either for years though.

I said PS3/Xbox as they are the two biggest consoles that people use, the Wii is aimed at kids mainly, with some things targetted towards adults like all the fitness games they have. Mario Kart is a great laugh for all though!
