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!

I've done a little match thread about it if anyone's interested. I found the Irish squad playing tonight, but not the blinking Welsh one

I can Cari!!! It's nowhere near BBC2 Wales tho so that's awkward, and they don't do subtitles ignoramus.com

How's the organism?

Evening Cari, and PJ. :whiskey:

We'll have less of the screaming Cari!!

Billy - that is a perfectly legit cocktail! don't know what you're thinking...

PJ - sometimes they do Red Button though for the rugby with (rubbish) English commentary. And Pobl Y Cwm Omnibws has English subtitles on Sunday nights

Sorry.
Evening Billy mate. Missed you there.

Evening Rava - we're watching the U20s match and gassing on the match thread.

I prefer to just watch anyway Cari, most commentators/pundits are full of shoite - they get in the way of the game half the time.

Rava, :Bushmills:

I just got it on for the second half. Ill look for the Fred.

Ooops, me too Billy - :Bushmills: ?

<16yearoldbushmills> for PJ and Billy please.

Thank ye kindly Rava, a nice touch of triple to warm the cockles. cheers/slainte.

Evening all Rava and PJ

Was just messing Cari...

So what's been happening today? Cari just like old times with you running things again?

See you have signed up for a trip to de Dam! Fantastic. I know you will enjoy it. Really lovely City, easy to negotiate and so many things to do. I'm jealous

Yeah I know Billy Can I just point out that the quality of a Screaming Orgasm depends on the barman serving it...

Rava - yeah, I'd better go and see the aul boy. Haven't seen him since the Heino final! Probably Skype you whilst I'm there.

Come on over Rava

Billy I wouldnt rule out a visit later this year. Depends obviously on the spondulicks, but here's hoping.

Cari, a Skype with you and the aul one would be grand

Evening folks, cashed in some good Karma chips today ....looks like I may get to the HEC QF and then got told I'm moving teams at work so don't have to go to the states now and have my life back! Best day ever!!

And back from a nice 2 with the old man down the pub!!! Glass of port, music, book and a bath sorted!!!!

Hope all are well in here!!

Good Prop Man. Glad you find time to spend with your aul fella. Great times

Yeah always nice to do that!! Had a good chat down tut pub! They're off away tomorrow so it's me and the dog tomorrow till Sunday!!

What!! No Girlfriend/Partner/Wife/Better-Half?

Haha nah she's off helping to run a Christian youth weekend but she may be back for the Wales vs Ireland match!!

Aye so I get more sleep but does mean I have to entertain myself tomorrow!!

Prop, with the Six Nations starting tomorrow you wouldn't want any distractions mate

Awk dear sake prop what you get up to on your own time is up to you. No need to hint at it on here.

I know!!! Have to train her to like rugby!! Think will be my only distraction!!

Anyone else feeling underwhelmed by the 6N this year?...this is the least excited Ive been since 2008 despite feeling pretty confident about Irelands chances....

Think the HEC has been so good its hard to switch off from that and stop thinking about the QF.

No way Rodders. The WC was good, but it was ages ago. Need some international rugby back in my life.

Yeah maybe Willy, probably on Sunday I'll be really excited, tomorrow is a bit of a damp squib of an opening day though.

Nonsense Rodders.

The Six Nations is what Rugby is all about. I remember when it was the ONLY real rugby competition.

Bring it on tomorrow. Calcutta Cup! Probably one of THE greatest sporting contests

Aye come on the Scots!! I'll probs be the only one in Gloucestershire cheering for them!!

Rava the 6N is my favourite sporting event in the world. I'm just saying I don't feel as excited as usual.

The butterflies in the stomach haven't started yet for me....Yeah Calcutta should be a cracker but flip me England look poor this year and it doesn't give me pleasure to say that.

Poor Rodders? I'm not so sure. They have picked some seriously talented players but they are massively inexperienced.
If they click then they could be the team of the season.
I do think they will struggle in the forwards though and that might be their downfall but I wouldn't say they are poor!

Ugh, I don't even know if I'll bother watching that game to be honest lads. It's been such a shocking match in recent years.

All the passion in the world can't cover up the rugby if it's a bad, by the numbers slog. England naming a midfield of two 10s and a crash ball merchant up against the creative dynamism of Dan Parks doesn't fill me with confidence that this year will be any different

Prop, WG, Rodders, Rava, .

May you all be in heaven...

Like Rava, the days when the 5N was the only proper international rugby competition don't seem like more than a year or two ago for me.

Even back in the days where Bath were super succesful in domestic league and cup terms, the 5N used to stir my blood like nothing else, and it still does.

I just love the ceremonial theatre of it all, the conviviality and pomp are second to none in terms of international sport, I know I'm biased, but the West car park at the cabbage patch takes some beating for the sheer craic of it, the banter and beans are nothing but joy.

Call me a weirdo if you like, but the match I'm looking forward to most over the weekend is Ireland v Wales.

Don't get me wrong, I'm right up for Scotland v England, but I may be watching most of it from behind the sofa.

Good luck, play well and be safe I say, let the feckin games begin.

Et Notch .

Nah Rava I think they are urine poor...lambs to the slaughter. Honestly. No wum. quote me on it in 6 weeks.

PJ

If you don't want to watch it that's your decision Notch. Whether you get excited by it is no ones business but your own.
Write off England at your peril. We have to go to Twickenham to face them this year and I think they are only a couple of wins away from being a team that will be difficult to beat.

Every team is difficult to beat Rava.

Ireland need to perform. If they do that the results will take of themselves.

Not convinced by Lancaster and Farrell at all. Thats why I think England are in disarray.

Oh I think they are well capable of winning games and I agree they will be difficult to beat. Just for some reason, maybe because of the hype and the pressure, those games at Murrayfield has been incredibly dire to watch in recent years. Both sides playing lowest common denominator rugby in the cold with scorelines in multiples of three and precious little invention or quality.
