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.

No real news with me. I passed my 6 month probation at work today and was given a new contract which I am very happy with. Have another late evening tonight will be here until midnight but have a long weekend.

Congrats on the job Stag. Did you get another 6moth or a year contract?

Bore da pawb / good morning all, please. It's light at seven when I set off for work these days, the blackbirds (amongst others) are singing as I cycle to work... it's good for the soul.

Ah Basingstoke, what a lovely place!!!

I don't thin I shall be venturing out onto the international board until the 6 Nations is well and truly over, as from a small amount of reading there is a lot of nonsense being posted there by some incredibly one eyed people.

Pete, I know what you mean but I just can't help myself! And sometimes it's fun tweaking the eye-patch strings!!

Pete, serious question

Good question. It's been far too long. I will consult the calender when I am back in the office and suggest some dates buddy.

An Irishman, an Englishman and a New Zealander walked into a bar. The barman thought we were joking.

There's an article up for review, for those who are trusted to review articles.

By the sounds of things there could very well be a fight at Ravenhill for HCQF tickets. There's going to be more than a few dissapointed faces.

Just thought you should know that when I read “WillyGilly” I hear “WullyGully” in my head. And when I read “Hound of Harrow” I hear “ ‘ound of ‘arrow” in my head.

Carry on.

Thanks for sharing

You’re very welcome “AsLongAs….(couldn’t be arsed reading the rest)”

When I read Asbo, I used to see Mel Gibson with a blue face, now I see Susan Boyle!

Morning all!

I won't say what I see when I read MrsP because I got in trouble for that a few weeks ago...

Rava,

I'm sorry to hear you won't be in Limerick.

You raaang?

Wee Billy from Glesga always wanted to look cool.

His friend told him that he needed a good designer pair of trainers to go with his shell suit.

Billy saved up all his Giro money and all the money he got back from returning his empty bottles of Ginger and finally managed to get himself a pair of brilliant white trainers to go with his shell suit.

Proudly, he strutted down the street calling out to all the passers-by "See ma new trainers? Stonkin, eh?"

One fine upstanding gentleman pointed out that they were indeed a fine pair of trainers but was young Billy aware that he had a lace undone?

Billy scornfully retorted that it was part of being cool to have a trailing lace and that on the sole of the trainer there were instructions for the wearer to do such a thing.

When asked for proof of this instruction, Billy look off his trainer and held it upside down for the disbeliever to read.

"There y'are! It clearly says ....

Taiwan !!!!!

The Dragons v Blues match that was called off earlier in the season due to a waterlogged pitch has been rescheduled - for Thursday 15th March.

This is clearly an anti-Dragons conspiracy. They don't want us to win so they schedule the game for a weekday evening.

I must look on the sole of our wee fella's trainers.

Thursday kickoff’s aren’t great Luckless, but we had one last week and it wasn’t the replay of a postponed game, it was a regular season fixture. Not a fan really, if I go to a match at night I’d like to have the option of staying out for pints after, I can’t go to work with a hangover, it’s bad enough as it is!

Have they said why it's on the Thursday?

Sure that is still in the 6 nations gap isn't it?

Will it disadvantage the Dragons more than the Blues?

Hurrah!!! Munster have got rid of that useless waste of oxygen Peter Borlase to Connacht

Thanks for congrats re: work and well done to Kiwi (and dare I say Prop too)!!!

I feel sorry for Connacht. Well done on the jobs to Kiwi and Stag.

They haven't said why, Mrs P. It's the Thursday before the Six Nations Super Saturday.

He’s only on loan though. He’ll be back!

Yes, congrats to both. Although more to Kiwi than to Stag.

Really Mick? Ah forfecksake I must cancel that party I was planning.

I agree more congrats to Kiwi

MrsP wrote:Will it disadvantage the Dragons more than the Blues?

It'll be annoying for both sets of fans, but my main complaint is that we'll probably have a smaller crowd due to it being on a Thursday. It was a Friday night game originally and the clubhouse was packed beforehand. It won't be packed on the 15th, I'm sure.

It was only packed because people heard I was coming!!

Munster have signed Savenaca Tokula until May. What a unnecessary signing.

No Prop, it only rained in the first place because you were coming!

red_stag wrote:Munster have signed Savenaca Tokula until May. What a unnecessary signing.

I read that too. Never heard of him.

Everyone seems to be reporting that Leinster signing Big Bad Brad Thorn is as good as done. Epic signing.

One for 't wall:

Mick now THAT is an outstanding short term signing. Munster signed two feckin nobodies to cover centre this year.

Interesting that Ulster were lambasted for signing Terblanche on a short term contract as cover for the injured Payne while the Thorn signing is being seen as "Epic"

I was just about to say that Thorn to Leinster is an "Ulsteresque" quality signing.

Ah, the confident belligerence of a man on a long term contract.

Well yes Rava. Leinster are less reliant on foreign players so logically a player like Thorn coming in to cover injury isn't seen as a problem.

There is a perception that Ulster have been overly reliant on the foreigners and many of the Irish guys they have are only "Irish" as their parents or grandparents are Irish - see Adam Darcy, Tom Court, Isaac Boss, Dan Tuohy etc. Then when you have Afoa, Muller, Wannenburg, Payne, Terblanche, Pienaar, Danielli, Diack etc on the books it just furthers this perception that they aren't developing players (which I know isn't true).

Maybe its unfair but there is a definite perception; not just amongst Irish fans; that Ulster are extremely reliant on foreign signings.
