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 Tommy Bowe, Ryan Jones, Dan Newton and birthday boy Prop above the bar.

Also buddy, Dingus was onto me again about that fishing trip in august, looks like its actually a runner like

Sound, that's v lovely of him (it'll be cool if I bring Liz?). Right, need to start planning August - gotta fit in Chef's bash & taking family to Lewis&Harris for a fortnight too

Liz?? I presume that's another name for the doris, and if so it'd be expected she comes rather than requested

Yeah, Bonnin, the new doris

Ah understood

16-14 to Quins, 12 mins left.

Ymlaen Caerwrangon!

Is this the Scott Asbo reckons is international class?

That's the most butcheredest butchered try I've ever seen! FFS Edinburgh!

Glas, for the love of Phil GodMan, stop contributing to the Stephen Ferris thread!

It's like a Zombie thread. It just will not die... But whenever I write an article

Since you asked so nicely, I will try.

(but you need to ask you know who as well)

Klitschko v Chisora, that'll do nicely!!

That's some hall they're in Hughie!

Not been a great fight so far though rava. Chisora body Poopie after body shot but it looks like it might be working


I have this at about 67-66 to Klitschko at the minute

Fair play to Chisora I thought he would get spanked.

Did his job well Willy, good body shots all the way through, Klitschko was visibly hurt from them

David Haye talks some toilet

Sorry Notch

Seen it

Morning folks


Breakfast time, yum yum

Morning Hughie and All.

Great day in Úc (pronounced a short "Oop" in English) meaning Big or Beautiful Land ... somewhere to the south?

Back from being out in the jungle a few suburbs north... sawing privet, cutting back... chucking out stuff for the bins.

I try to load them to the max on Sundays. Only one small red back encountered; although there's definitely more lurking - for sure.

Also moved lots of furniture, books, old records & magazines, paintings, heavy old Singer sewing machine, clothes & shoes - out of a bedroom and the hall and into other rooms away from where they're gonna rip up the carpet tomorrow. It's all going to be nice old timber floors again - the original kauri, about 90 years old and which has been covered up for at least 50 years.

I've made some silly picks in the Pro12.

Can't believe I tipped against the Blues on Friday. Shame on me. Great Uncle Victor would not be impressed!
Waaay too generous with the Ospreys. Thought they would score more but did conditions suit?
Lucky with Leinster - thought they'd be primed strongly for this one at home, Ahm I roysh??
Should have gone for more points with Munster. Was wondering when the dark horses would stretch their legs...
Over-optimistic with Connacht... was hoping for more. They're my secret favourite team... and Ulster...
Always shudder when I tip the Dragons... I'm glad they snatched it but I hear it wasn't pretty?

All that - and I only managed to scrape up one rung on the SG Ladder.

Oop South? Tyical Flip Aussies

Bore da, lyfli morning.

Vietnamese Glas. A nice and short word. Úc

Aye, oop south from there... if you're looking at the map oopside down though - it'd be oop north then.

Lovely morning indeed... Sir Texel Lyfli Panhandle III

Front page sports news? The british sporting disgrace of the year?

Disgusting. Disgraceful. Despicable. D1ckheads

In that picture?

Does the guy on the right have something in his right hand that he has just punched the other guy with.

Sorry to not use names but I haven't a clue who is who.

I'm confused. What are Ye talking about??

hughie1986 wrote:I'm confused. What are Ye talking about??

I'm thinking the same.

Has a post been removed? are they on about what happened in the boxing?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/17088021

Yeah I read this Willy:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2103267/Boxer-interviewed-German-police-post-fight-brawl-Chisora-Haye.html

Jesus Hugh, check the fricking headlines will ya



Ah its all handbags, yea Chisora went a bit to far by saying he would shoot Haye, but Haye will say "I don't want to press charges" it creates massive interest in a fight and the price of the fight rockets. It's all business

It's about time someone did something to brew up a bit of interest in the heavyweight division anyway. It's been a two fighter division for years now and everyone has lost interest in it. Just look at last night, a British boxer fighting for the heavyweight championship and its on a channel that no one has even heard of. Sums it up for me


David Haye is a bum anyway

Quiet in here today. Watching Sarries v Tiggers in the pub. 7-6 to Sarries with a great try. M. Tuilagi looking very good for Tiggers.

Hey , Tuilagi is playing himself into contention for England for sure, do you think Lancaster has the stones to pick him to start?

Why not? It would show he's not a slave to meeja sensibilities.

Hi PJ - SL has said he will make changes. Tuilagi will almost certainly be one of them. Question is who will make way. Most people will say Barritt as he has 'constipated' England's attacking threat. However SL will be mindful that Roberts will need stopping, so my guess is that Farrell will go to the bench.

Lawes and Morgan have to come in imo opinion, and possibly Sharples for Strettle. And Ashton needs to get his head out of his arse and have more influence.

Yeah, I think you're right Glas, he's ruthless enough to do what's best for the team - he is after the job full time after all.

Hound, I think Farrell will make way too, he is young enough to take the knock and provides good bench cover for 10/12, I think Hodgson would survive on Flood's performance so far today but that would leave England light on a goal kicker, Morgan is a definite along with Dickson, Lawes is a possible and Sharples did himself no harm yesterday showing plenty of gas in the Rec quagmire, but would possibly be one change too many if Hodgson misses out.

The 22 SL selects could make or break him for the job, I'm fully expecting a Wales win, but to run them close with such a "new" lineup would be impressive.

Surely Toby Flood just made Lancasters mind up for him. No balls there at all.

Wow! Murphy makes a captain's call and nudges Flood out of the way to drop the 3 points that breaks Sarries hearts.

4 minutes into the red and Tigers win an classic, ugly, but classic.

Rava wrote:Surely Toby Flood just made Lancasters mind up for him. No balls there at all.

For sure Rava, completely bottled it. He hadn't had a good game prior to that anyway, but that was poor for any player who has his sights set on Test rugby, he's still coming back from injury though so possibly short on confidence.

Great drama at the end. 2nd half a zillion times better than the 1st.

PJ a fly-half is born with confidence. He was standing 20 yards out and in a fantastic position. Diabolical!

True enough, it's what makes them tick isn't it. Gamma double minus for Flood, I bet Charlie H has let out a huge sigh of relief today, at least he'll still be in the 22 now.

Evening just watching Scrum V - build up to the big game next Saturday...oh and some other rugby

Cari, first there's a big game in Belfast on Friday night

Why not play Farrell-Barritt-Tuilagi?

I know it will be tough for Farrell to get his first start at test level against an in-form Welsh side, but he seems really mentally strong and has good basics so it could be a gamble that pays off.

Long term that's probably how England will end up but for this week's match it would be harsh to drop your only try scorer.

Good evening guys, whaaaaaaaddup.

Flip all by the looks Bek. How about you?

Awright biltong. Any of you SH guys feel inclined to do a write up on the S15 teams ahead of next weekend?

I'll be watching Bulls v Sharks (on at a civilised hour ) after work on Friday. That's followed by England v Wales U20s.

Hell, I have been sitting in this pub for an hour and now you guys respond.

Hound, I know Kiwirredevil is working on a piece, we are assising him with squads etc.

Problem is the fracnhises were still playing warm up matches this weekend, so we will only hear about the squads this week.

Thus far I think the sharks will be the best SA franchise.

Stormers have lost their entire midfield, Fourie, De Villiers and a new young star Johann Sadie has all gone.

They still have Juan du Jongh, but no depth.

Cheetahs and Lions don't look to good and with the Bulls you never know, they are rebuilding with many of the Boks retired or gone, but they did buy a lot of players.

Bek, I understand the Ulster Saffas are a religious lot. Is that generally the case with the Springboks? Is there an article there?

Glas South Africans in general are quite religious. You will also find that with our cricket team.

Amla as an example is a devout religious person.

In Jonty's time reliegion and prayer was at the fore front for many players.

Whether it can be an article I don't know, they are quite private about these issues.

And to do research on it will be quite challenging.
