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.

Employee of the month!

It's taken the heat off me for a bit anyway

I hope you've paid for those.

Its an honesty bar after 12.

Well I was actually eating cake and drinking tea at the time. tea is free in our office and there was a bake sale for charity so I did throw in a few bob.

I nicked the tumbleweed though. And I’d do it again.

See, it's people like you who are making tumbleweed so expensive for the rest of us!

I saw babe sale first time

Don't forget tonight's TELLY

How's the Wales v France mini meet coming along Pendro?

Glas, I'm arriving into Cardiff on Friday 16th.

Have to stay out in Bridgend.

Its only quarter of an hour or so out Stag.

Trying to set up a spreadsheet for stat collection on the league. Bloody hard. Not only do you need all of the results and a heap of formulas to rank the teams but you’d need to find out how many tries were scored and if you wanted to produce meaningful stats you’d probably need all of the player information too. that’s a lot of work time to waste each week!

MMC probably has the formula. His articles on the Rabo were gems.

Only just noticed that I'm on the wall in the pub cheers y'all

making you blind Prop?

SG picks done and GFR. I'm not sure I'm any good at that though - I have Gill, Parks and Morrison in my team and a back line full of Scots.

Too right, must see if i can find him on here.

He is registered.

Mick, just send a PM to MMC. He should get it OK.

Just PM'd him there lads.

The formulas aren't the issue (have them working), it's just the data collection. I'd be all day putting info in, making sense of it all is slightly easier.

Just made my SG picks. Fat lot of good they are like.

Snap.

Just did my Rabo and Super XV picks.

15 hours until kick off between the Blues and Crusaders

I did the Super XV last night. Figured out a great system. I think I am on to a winner

My basic assumption the the Crusaders will win every week tends to trip me up on occasion. Except in the 2002 comp of course (though I certainly didn't predict the red & blacks would fall just short of putting 100 points on the Waratahs that year)

Here's my last bit of spamming re my preview article, the nice "pretty" version is here http://www.v2journal.com/super-xv-2012-preview.html

(sorry, but I spent over 12 hours on the research and writing for this one so I'm showing it off)

Fine effort, Pete

Kiwi,

You are a Crusaders fan?

Is that where Matt Sexton coaches the academy?

What's your view on him?

I've made my GFR transfers and my SG picks, but only for the Six Nations. I've given up on the Pro 12. (If anyone says 'much like the Dragons...')

Wouldnt dream of mentioning it Lucky.

To give up, you have to have been trying in the first place.

If you're talking about me:

If you're talking about the Dragons:

Peter Stringer joins Newcastle Falcons

Well you did try a bit for the first couple of games in the Amlin.

He'll disappear up his own backside next.

Slowly making his way towards Scotland.

That'll be a funny accent.

He's from Cork!!

He already has a funny accent!

MrsP did that go ok for you?

Just waiting for the hubby to get home to finalise it's what he wants. I will let you know.

Thanks again!

Where do broken hearts go...?

I just find they are the hardest team in the league to acutally get excited about though really. They aren't winning but neither do they look like a team with long term development in mind (compared to Aironi, Treviso or Connacht).

I believe that's called kicking someone when they're down.

Yea I know cmere Lucky

Just my point was that it isn't that there is somelike unlikeable about them - they aren't a team people love to hate or anything. Just a team people forget about.

Scarlets are 14-0 down at home to Treviso... just tuned in.

And that's called carrying on digging!

Just giving my tuppernce Lucky.

That's fair enough, Stag. No one's obliged to care about any other side.

Kom OP AZ!

Geloof!

Should have been 3/4 nil up from the home leg. Created and missed so many chances. Big task v a fired up Anderlecht, in front of a huge partizan crowd. They dont lose at home. I fear the wurst.

We need the 1st goal. Bad.

Sweet Jeez... they nearly scored in 30 seconds. Thank Christ for Esteban. Wot en keeper.

Ok, need a drink. Been off it for a while now.

I'll be keeping on eye on the PRO12 games via the site.

Ladyboys can multi-task.
