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.

Are you living close to Tipp Stag? Also you wouldn't know much about Bruff's U-17 team would you? Highfield could end up playing them in a while and everything appears to be very positive about them. Still, it would be a great game.

And that brings me to my next point.

Alcohol has proven health benefits for the general population at moderate dosage.

Anyway, the drink and the trouble thereafter are only virtual here!

Oh aye, well your 'moderate' is my schmoderate

Thomond I refereed Bruff U17 at the start of the season. It pished rain all match and they overcame Young Munsters in Tom Clifford Park. Weather made it impossible to tell what they are really like but very physical.

MrsP - only problem is I don't have Skysports so if you were to stay at my house during the match you'd have to visit local pub or watch online.

Thomond, I live in Raheen which is a suburban area on the Cork side of Limerick. But I work inbetween Lisnagry and Newport which are on the Tipperary side of Limerick.

Ah sure we'll work something out Stag.

Lucky, I think Asbo just proved my point!

Maybe he did, Mrs P!

Afternoon all, cheers for the advice yesterday especially the email Rava....kind of cleared things up for me. Going to talk to one of the managers (not my line manager) just for advice etc. Old man really gave me good advice too so we'll see!!

for everyone to say thankyou!!

Stag- got our tickets for Thomond. We are incoming

Wahey!! I must give the place an old spring clean and plan some merriment for the evening.

When would the interview be, Prop?

Even Alastair Eykyn's at it now:

'England have played two, won two - both in tough conditions away from home.'

It wasn't even raining at Murrayfield!

If I went Lucky: It's 22nd Feb so next week meaning I'd have to book flights, time off work, hotels etc by the end of this week.

Hey folks if I have a PM in my outbox does that mean it hasn't been sent?

See, that's another reason you should go to the interview - you get a day or two off work! Don't mention that at the interview, though...

It means the person you sent it to hasn't read it.

OK thanks Kiwi, just checking ..... it's a matter of grave importance....

Stag,

Did you get anywhere with booking a charter for the french match and have you heard anything about reimbursement?

MrsP,

We have a day return charter.

Price €275 plus €65 airline taxes. Includes return charter flight (07.30 departing Dublin and arriving back into Dublin at 23.15) and coach transfers in Paris.

As I undertstand it tickets will be refunded at face value or valid for the rescheduled match. No other compensation payable.

Was Mick() joking about the French fans getting some compo?

And is it okay to advertise that deal to my friends?

So 340 Euro for the lot except tickets?

Yea 340€ total price. Advertise away MrsP - he may not have been joking, it may just be speculation. We haven't been told of anything in relation to Irish fans neither have our competitors. It would be very handy.

It's hard to see how they could differentiate between fans if they were to compensate them. I have sent to price to my pal although it's steep enough especially when they have already forked out once.

It is alright MrsP to get out a 2nd time.

Pretty dramatic changes at the Os.

Which of those two actually did the coaching? Scott Johnston is the one I've seen prowling the touchline and being interviewed but I know different clubs mean different things by the roles Head Coach and Director of rugby etc.

I've just read two and a half pages of the Ian Madigan story and I don't think he was mentioned once. Same old Sexton/ROG debate that has been rumbling on for two years

Afternoon Rava!

Did you get your box booked for Thomond?

Good to see this resolved to an extent.

MrsP,

Do I see you're looking for somewhere to watch the game on the weekend down in Limerick?

We may be Munsty.

MrsP, what category are you? We are Category B. This is all I know.

Are you back home for it Munsty.

Notch - I'd imagine your ticket is for the sideline stands down by the tryline.

Yeah we went for category B also.

Did you see the category A tickets were sold out by mid afternoon?

I'm not Stag. I'm coming home March 2nd and then back here on the 4th. I think that'll be the last time before the summer.

Haven't heard from Goose in ages? Do you know how he is?

Evening folks,


Was let loose on live trains today for the first time, no incidents, I must be a fricking natural haha

Just looking at the news,

"calls for leniency for first time offenders convicted for the London riots"


Bloody typical, makes me

Yeah but I'm imagining that there weren't that many of the really good seats in the allocation. Sounds decent Stag.

Actually reading around someone who tried to buy Category A tickets was told we were only given a few hundred.

You mean those sneaky Munster guys are giving us the rubbish seats and keeping all the good ones for themselves?

Well, what do you expect?

Most Munster sponsors will have those seats already.

I suspect a decent proportion of Ulsters allocation for them have gone to the Blazer brigade!

So you mean those are the "Rava" type seats?

I notice he hasn't posted where he is sitting yet...

Ye are all posh with your fancy seats. I'll be in the terraces probably. The prawn sandwich flavoured crisp brigade. Join me on the prom.

The weeuns can't see too well on the terrace Stag.

Mind you, I don't know how Notch will cope watching Ulster from a seat!

Can I just confirm that the main course will be served before kick off and the pudding and cheese board at half time?

And, there will be quality potato based snacks available?

I seem to remember with horror one of the lads mentioning...well, I don't know quite how to put this.... ...Monster Munch on sale at Thomond???

It's not great from an atmosphere point of view. You need to stand up to sing.

Please Notch. Lets not be silly. You are in Thomond. Atmopshere will be just fine dear boy

Mrs P - with kids you have right idea. Excellent view from the stand.

Notch and MrsP this is likely to be your seat.

Could we have two red, one yellow and one black please?

MrsP you'll get a turnip, a lump of Charleville Cheddar cheese and a slice of Shaws Limerick Ham.

You've seen our coloured seats trick MrsP - it makes it seem like there are more people there!!

In reality the Munster v Northampton climatic finish where ROG dropped the goal to win was attended by just myself, SinE and his dog.
