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 Sergio Parisse and Owen Farrell above the bar.

Dare I suggest you'll need to raise your intensity?

Evening all, just got back from the game. It was great to meet Penfro, Mrs Penfro, Dreamer and Asbo before the game, and I have to say I was impressed with how quickly Asbo managed to get served considering how packed it was in the Queens Vaults. And it was a good Test match in the end - we picked up the intensity in that spell after half time. Scotland played some good rugby too and even though I was quite a way from the action, even I could see that Hogg hadn't knocked on.

Two from two, that'll do! Very Happy

I decided to forego the Wales match and I'm glad I did. The Muppets is the best film I have seen in the last few months. Fantastic fun for all.

This table can't be right. I don't remember Italy scoring 24 points against France and I'm certain we didn't put 46 points on Ireland. Headscratch

by Luckless Pedestrian Sun Feb 12, 2012 7:12 pm

My middle sister and brother-in-law went to watch that the other day, Thomond, they said it was good too.

by Thomond Sun Feb 12, 2012 7:13 pm

It was very good Lucky, would recommend it to all. Unless tries created by a classy offload from North count double(the IRB may be bringing in some legislation) then Wales didn't score 46 points on Ireland.

The Wales match was great, butI slept through the first half. I don't mean it was boring, I mean I literally slept until nearly 4pm Shocked

That's fukced up. I slept for 14 hours, entirely unintentionally and continuously. I worry about this kind of thing.

And I had a dream Paddy Wallace replaced The Edge as the guitarist in U2 just before they embarked on a world tour, and all the U2 fans were indignant. But I was all defnsive and saying "Wallace is a great guitarist, youse are all clueless, you wouldn't be saying that if you'd seen some of the gigs he's played in Belfast lately". I actually had that dream, I'm not even lying.

by Luckless Pedestrian Sun Feb 12, 2012 7:22 pm

That's not the most difficult dream to interpret, Notch!

by Thomond Sun Feb 12, 2012 7:22 pm

Notch, you must have ate/snorted/inhaled something odd last night.

Speaking of sleep, my eyelids are getting really heavy here. I'd better log off. Enjoy your evenings.

Which one is Roman Poite?

by Glas a du Sun Feb 12, 2012 7:58 pm

The edge is from Llanelli. Perhaps you were wanting Ulster to adopt a 15 man running style?

by **Notch** Sun Feb 12, 2012 8:08 pm

I think that dream isn't too far off...

That's a 'Scarlets' try if ever I saw one. Very Happy

by MrsP Sun Feb 12, 2012 8:22 pm

Nah,

I thought he Edge was born in England and moved to Dublin as a very small child.

Hands off Glas!!!

by Glas a du Sun Feb 12, 2012 8:28 pm

His parents are from Llanelli and I think he was born there, but it may have been England.

by Glas a du Sun Feb 12, 2012 8:30 pm

David Howell Evans. Yep, he's Welsh.

by Rava Sun Feb 12, 2012 8:34 pm

Wild at Heart. Don't you just love old Dup.

by MrsP Sun Feb 12, 2012 8:35 pm

Quick!!!

Give him an U20s cap and make him Welsh whether he likes it or not!!!!

I defer to a higher authority - Wikipedia

The Edge was born in England to a Welsh family, but was raised in Ireland after moving there as an infant.

Thanks

Any news on the rescheduling of yesterday's match?

Hello all back from Paris . . . . .

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:09 pm

Evening all, happy days, we scored a try - yup, it was like a genuine one of them T-R-Y thingies - never sen one before, it was like er-mazing!

Big thanks to my hosts (the Penfros) and lovely to have a catch-up with dreamer and lucky - bootiful peeps, the lot of ye Hug

by Gibson Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:12 pm

Evening Rava & Glas. How's the form lads? guinness

So Stag, what was the mood of the fans like? Your customers in fact? Will they re-book? Expensive trip to do once, never mind twice.

I went out last night, into the Dam to watch it. No game so I ended up meeting friends and was out till 5am. Had a ball! Da Dancin in Bourbon Street. Still got it.Still cant dance, but I get the sympathy vote.

Well done Stag. Poite was truly awful today. Not result changing nevessarily, but game changing nevertheless. By the second half both sides were getting away with all sorts yet still made a spectacle of it.

by Glas a du Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:15 pm

Not as good as you by the sounds Gibbo!

by red_stag Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:16 pm

Customers are disappointed. Main ill feeling in Paris was to French not Pearson. Hard to see major interest in booking replay. The fans loved the fact that Ireland played a game of touch rugby in the end. I met few players and they were gutted by decision. Could be garden get them as fired up again. Likely date us Friday 2nd March at 9pm

Be even better when Visser gets on board, As. Also liking the look of Hogg. Thought your forwards were magnificent. Poite was abysmal.

by red_stag Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:17 pm

I meant hard.instead.garden autocorrect strikes again

by Glas a du Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:19 pm

Hear, hear. The Scottish pack was excellent. Yes they pushed the envelope, but that's what its all about. They have the players in the backs, but everyones an individual. Get EOS in to coach the backs.

Asbo your guys helped to make it a very exciting game thumbsup

Oh and even though it won't show up on the record books you actually scored TWO tries.

by Glas a du Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:23 pm

In the words of Eddie Butler "come, come Phillip". Every ruck was a farce and the offside line in the backs was non existent. As I said he was generally poor for both sides.

Yes and butchered a third. However it should not have got to there as there was as clear a miss of a foot in touch as you would like to see in the build up.

What summed it up for me was Phillips running into the retreating Strokosch to claim a penalty whilst Poite was looking the other way.

by Rava Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:33 pm

The moment for me was when they showed the replay of North colliding with his teammate and Jonathon Davies said "it was clearly accidental" Laugh

Hope his injury isn't too serious by the way.

9pm meaning... 8pm over here?

by WillyGilly Sun Feb 12, 2012 10:06 pm

Watch the whole of the ulster match. Second half of Ireland game for a dramatic comeback, to finish 2 points behind them.

by WillyGilly Sun Feb 12, 2012 10:07 pm

Them being the French. Frig my grammar and overall use of the English language gets shocking after white wine.

I feel like I've been sold a pup by the 6 nations this weekend, so can't start to empathise with Stags clients.

by Hound_of_Harrow Sun Feb 12, 2012 11:25 pm
