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!

Oh aye, no problem - is that the one of you and the doris or you and the kids?

Hugs,

Dont let him away with it.

Anyone seen The Grey yet? Liam Neason vs load of bad ass wolves. I don't want to ruin it but I'd appreciate the feedback.

Thomond you about? Super Bowl has just kicked off!

Seriously am I alone in here? Touchdown giants who are dominating this first quarter.

Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuz, lovely dancer, fantastic footballer. I believed in Eli, and so far he is getting it done. Just wondering, seeing as we were talking about how Wales were just physically bigger than Ireland, is it odd how most running backs are between 5'10 and 5'7? They are just so small and powerful, some guys have nicknames like "Pocket Hercules"

Yea but said guys bulk up with shoulder pads, helmets etc. Giants well on top. Tom finding a few decent passes though.

The tackling is urine poor aswell some of these guys are just insanely powerful and nimble, when you see a guy who is 6ft 4in and 17 stone hurdling over guys it shows you how athletic some of these guys are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7Ka2iDGAWA

Much like Ireland today, Patriots need some decent possession this quarter.

Giants will win, I'm liking Mike Carlson in the BBC box, very well informed.

Hi all, have to say that Ireland v Wales match today rekindled my interest in the 6 Nations after many many years of being indifferent to it.

The most enjoyable international match I've been to in a LONG time.

Patriots struggling for any impact. Giants look very organised.

JPP is balling as are the whole Giants defence. They will win well as Eli is playing like an Elite guy.

Mike Carlson is a legend! Think i'll make it to HT then hit my rack....C'mon big blue!

You can't put a linebacker on Gronk or Hernandez. They will get beaten. Safety is probably the better option.

Great work by JPP. But Patriots get the touchdown anyway. NE needed that before halftime.

Great drive by the Pats, damn it. They get the ball in the second half too. My prediction for the Giants could be wrong.

Great catch by the 2ft 5" tall Woodhead! Gotta love the pats O..

Madonna at 53? I'll be honest with my luck of late I'd consider it.

Touchdown patriots. Turning the screw now.

Step up Eli.

Touchdown Giants! Kabooooooooom!

Na the one with both of us mooning, and people knew which one was you because of your saggy nuts

Giants win. Unbelievable scenes. Brady went close with his hail mary. Oh so close on the replay.

Morning

I've got up at this hour and I'm not even working today - I'm wide awake though. Ah well. I didn't see any of the Superbowl, but I hear Her Madge did a good performance at half time

Morning

Been at work for about an hour now and it's flaming Baltic this morning. Need more to warm meself up I think!

Morning Oz, also stuck at work. Its freezing here at well -10. At least that means no flying to the north sea so thats a plus

Aye billy a plus for you, what about the poor lads already out there trying to get back.........

Thats different Hughie, they are on production platforms so are fully staffed. My work takes me to unmanned staelite platforms and windmills on the north sea so far more cold and dangerous in this weather

Haha I know billy just takin the pish

I do hate being stuck in the office though.. I am not a desk jockey...

Bore da pawb / good morning all. It's not half as cold this morning as it was last week. It's a grey, drizzly morning, but a Wales win makes this kind of day alright.

I'm glad to hear it, Stag, and it really was a great Test match. A match that went right to the wire, tries from both sides, missed kicks (which add to the drama) - it was a good 'un.

Luckless I wrote a little article i think you'll like https://www.606v2.com/t23360-really-enjoyable-match

How did Glas and Dreamer enjoy the game, Stag?

Poor old Dreamer, she was (understandably) delirious with excitement after the game, but myself Mick and Stag were like poster boys for a mental health ad. She didn’t want to rub it in, you could tell she was punching the air when we weren’t looking

Mickado sums it up well. She was a gracious winner to the last as were the Welsh fans sat in front of us.

Ah yeah, as was Glas. He was straight over to tell me how we should have no problems if we play like that against France.

Yea I got a super message from him too Mick to let me know chin up.

A suspicion I had before the match which I am now worrying over.

Stag, i'll respond on your thread in a sec.

Here, what's this I'm reading about Heaslip having a poor game? I thought he was one of our best forwards (along with Best). Did George Hook tell people he's poor because i've read a few people saying it now and I'm just confused...

Heaslip and Best were excellent yesterday.

Heaslip and Best were Luckless. Kearney was very solid throughout and I thought Murray had a good game though I've not heard it mentioned all that much.

Though he was good in the lineout and in defence O'Connell butchered a certain try (though we scored one a few minutes shortly after). I thought both Ryan and O'Callaghan turned in very good displays though I really want to see Ryan start in Paris.

Darcy surprised me with a solid if unspectacular effort. I wasn't impressed by Bowe or McFadden.

I thought O'Connell had butchered a try too, but they showed on replay that George North had gambled and rushed up in defence and actually prevented O'Connell from getting the pass away.

Morning all! What a fantastic match yesterday.....AND the girl watched it all and even learnt what a ruck, scrum and all 15 playing positions......think i'll be breaking down this rugby hatred soon!!

Reel Big Fish were awesome too, great way to end the weekend!!

More great news for Wales - Adam Jones is staying with the O's for another two years. Dead chuffed. I'm glad the regs enjoyed the match yesterday, it was a good 'un.

Off for a mop chop...

You need to move on to the Kama Sutra next!

...and all in 80 minutes!

Morning all, nightmare commute in for me . London and snow ...

As we're almost at the 1000 posts I'm going to set up a new pub in 5 minutes or so. So send in your wall picture nominations please.

Walked into that one didn't I?! She came out with some classic comments: why if you have a blindside don't you have a vision side?

I asked her how long a half was, she said 40 mins each way so 90 mins overall but she did jump up and cheer at the end.

Photo nomination: this secret one Hughie and Asbo are talking about!! Or the players who won their first caps over the weekend.

Good call on the debutants Prop, I'll go with them and JD2.
