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 Jonathan Davies (JD2), and all of the weekend's 6 Nations debutants above the bar!

Give the lads a shout, we'll come and hold your corduroy sports jacket and shout encouragement.

Official Press Release from the 6Nations:

DISCIPLINARY UPDATE - STEPHEN FERRIS DECISION
9 February 2012, 2:01 pm
By Hashim Piperdy
At a disciplinary hearing in London today, the citing made against Stephen Ferris was considered but not upheld.
The independent Six Nations Disciplinary Committee, chaired by Antony Davies (England) together with Douglas Hunter (Scotland) and John Doubleday (England) met to consider a citing complaint under Law 10.4(j) by Achille Reali (Italy) the independent Citing Commissioner appointed for the RBS 6 Nations match between Ireland and Wales in Dublin at the weekend.

The Committee, after careful analysis of the video evidence and consideration of the player’s and his representative’s explanation of the tackle, did not uphold the citing.

MrsP, what I really meant to say is, you were right. You were always right on those points of Law and you shouldnt let condescending, ignorant, orseholes - get you going.

I'll make the tae. And some cake.

Amsterdam chocolate cake

*where'sthisFliptea*

Are the games in Glasgow and Dublin still on ce soir?

The majority of RM92 players (according to Rugbyrama) have asked their president to get rid of Berbizier,the coach,following the Chabal incident.Should be a good game vs ASM on Saturday

Wouldn't it just be so French for them to win?

(P.S. Mikado's Missus looks like the woman off 'The Good Wife' but obviously a lot younger version)

Yep, it's wet and windy in Dublin but no ice.

Glas, i'll have to have a look at this woman and see if you're in my good books or not...

Good news,Kado;something to watch this evening,then

Jeysus, fair play. you're in the good books alright.

Heading there straight after work Mick. Even convinced a mate of mine who’s never been to a rugby game before to come along. Just call me Mick the Baptist!

I wouldn't worry about the cake. It's the chicken and 'mushroom' pie you need to watch out for.

Touche!

That poor gobshoite hadn't a snowball's chance in Hell, once you got your virtual teeth into him. He was annoying me too. I was nearly going to butt in ... but whats the point? You dont need backup.

Would you like some more tea M'aam? And heres some Humble-pie for yer mate.

Tele-sales on the Subcontinent trying to pronounce French surnames!

WALES: Leigh Halfpenny; Alex Cuthbert, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, George North, Rhys Priestland, Mike Phillips; Gethin Jenkins, Huw Bennett, Adam Jones, Ryan Jones, Ian Evans, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton (C), Toby Faletau

REPLACEMENTS: Ken Owens, Paul James, Lou Reed, Andy Powell, Lloyd Williams, James Hook, Scott Williams

Harsh on Gill. Though he had an excellent game, but they obviously like that fact that James can prop on the tight head. Ryan at the second row I think suits his game now, he's developing into an excellent tight player as his responsibilities in the loose are taken on by Faletau. I wonder whether Gatland will bring Ken Owens on this time, or should we start calling him 'splinters'.

Stag, they better be good seats or my reputation will take a nosedive. I'm used to the padded ones I'll have you know.

I thought we were in a box? Why does MrsP get the special treatment? :sulk:

Because she's an iceberg late prolific.

Asbo, Suussshhhhhh!!

I had to keep her away from the condescending, ignorant, orseholes didn't I

Well then why was I sat next to Richard Cockerill?

MrsP wrote:Well then why was I sat next to Richard Cockerill?

In fairness, I was sat pretty close to Cockerill in the media room at Harlequins the other week, he was pretty straight up.

MrsP wrote:Well then why was I sat next to Richard Cockerill?

I walked myself into that one didn't I?

Well he can't spot one of his players about 5m offside at a scrum.

MrsP wrote:Well he can't spot one of his players about 5m offside at a scrum.

A clear case of Arsenewengeritis there. Many managers, coaches and fans seem to suffer from it I notice. Though Gatland was showing signs of recovery on Sunday

Though, to be honest, Gatland would have looked pretty stupid if he had tried to defend Davies.

If fact, he would have looked a bit like Ryan.










Not a leg to stand on!

I shouldn't laugh really!

Seriously though, I agree, it was good to see Gatland come straight out and say what he did. My only quibble was that he seemed to be saying,

"You will not get away with that sort of thing with TV cameras around."

rather than,

"You shouldn't do it because of the risk of injury!"

Glas a du wrote:They were excellent seats. Stag comes up trumps again.

You must have had a great view of Ferris's tackle...

Yes. Clearly dangerous.

Honestly read that ad " stag comes up turnips again"

You can take the lad out of Munster but....

Michelle got me (and Puma), great seats for the Heino QF.

Click on BLK 123 for the view.

Gibbo, sent you a PM there, something you might be intererested in. Haven't seen you in a while, care to respond to my Johnny Sexton needs to play smarter theory?

She's BAD tho. I mean really bad. In a good way.

Well I have had a better day.

Gibbo says I'm always right and Asbo called me a "little gem".

Gotta be happy with that!

Michael Jackson Bad? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsUXAEzaC3Q&ob=av2n

Well that was a chat killer.

Sorry Thomond.

Just organising the second sitting of dinner chez nous!

Loved the article T. And answered it. Man, you know your Irish soccer, from League up.

He looks like an exciting prospect, and God knows Ireland need some invention. In rugby AND Soccer.

MrsP in a leather suit. And with a BAD attitude. Man.

'Allo, 'allo. Possible snow here later.

Why, oh why have the 6N organising bods scheduled France v Ireland at 8pm on a Saturday? That has totally upset the balance of my weekend (and a few others I should think).

Blydi hopeless leaving a two hour + gap between the Saturday games.

Thats the French for ya Hound mate. Their TV rights and its power, override everyone elses. They do it in the HC too. Games on Sunday nights. Le basterds.

Replied Gibbo. I'm happy the match is on late, mainly because I have a match at 5. Get back and have some munch as I'm watching the match.

I thought you'd been defending Ryan?
