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 Gibbo's Ma and Brad Thorn above the bar!

+1.

Morning all. I'm already beginning to regret giving up my lie-in tomorrow (I'm going to the England Cricket team's pre-Sri Lankan tour press conference at Heathrow at 8.15).

Goeden morgen uit Cill Easra. Shoppin done, house cleaned, wash load on, Ma up dressed and fed. All before 9am... and with one feicin arm!

Need a

All set for the weekend lads & lassies?

Goede morgen Gibbo, ben blij om te horen dat alles goed is met je moeder

Set for the weekend here. Are you off to the match or staying home with ye ma for hor birthday?

Hi all, happy Friday to you all.

How are the Dutchmen this morning.

Billy - I think you lot managed to convert me. I actually cursed when I saw Darcy was named in the team. I kid you not.

Morning pub, it's Friday!!

Covering reception for a short while this morning so I can sneak in here for a quick

Morning red.

I love the bones off D'Arcy and in fairness he hasnt been too bad this 6N but i am tired of seeing his name as one of the first on the sheet.

Morning Swanny, hows life treating you?

Swanny, hows life going.

Also just thought I'd share that I read "covering reception" as "contraception"

Billy I was just praying for O'Gara at 10 with Sexton at 12 and was annoyed when we didnt get it.

Also have to say I'm surprised by amount of injuries we have:

- David Wallace
- Sean O'Brien
- Conor Murray
- Chris Henry
- Denis Leamy
- Paul O'Connell
- Brian O'Driscoll
- Luke Fitzgerald

Morning Billy, morning Staggie, it's pretty good thanks if somewhat busy.

It's my little sister's 40th birthday this weekend so there's a few celebrations to be had, I'm looking forward to it though I don't think she is!!

red, i would go one better than that and give Madigan a shot at 10 with Sexton at 12. I honestly think that may happen soon as well

Swanny surely you meant to say your little sisters 30th birthday?

Ah the 40th is easy Swanny. Good to see that you are from the proper year of 1970

No problems with that. Even if I started ROG I would have Sexton kicking.

Was out at the gym the other day and went for a swim after. So I was getting into that shower thing they have beside the pool you have to use before you go in. I take the shower at the end and right on cue the other showers are taken by David Wallace, Lifemi Mafi, Simon Zebo, Denis Hurley and Mike Sherry. To say I stuck out like a sore thumb was an understatement!!!!

It was like a Fit v Fat contrast

Happy Birthday to your sister then Swanny


And morning all. Just trying to get myself organised for my trip home today, am glad the weather's supposed to be nice this weekend, going to get myself walking over Mynydd Cynros tomorrow morning before all the rugby starts I think.

Save journeys to all those travelling this weekend, hope everyone enjoys themselves (don't think that's going to be hard for some people!)

This will be D'Arcys 16th consecutive Six Nations start since he appeared against Scotland at Murrayfield in 2009. I find that frankly astonishing for a player who played the best rugby of his career at least two years prior to the start of that run and has struggled to produce any real sustained form in the green jersey since then.

Hoi Billy,

Rav arrives down this eve and is staying with me till Sunday. Asbo is staying with the Hugster in Ballbriggan.

Fun really starts tomorrow morn. Im sure Rav and I will have a few nerve-settlers this evening tho. Help us sleep well like...

Morning all!

Yep, it beggers belief i am afraid.

Keep an eye on AsBo there Gibbo, i have a feeling that he is starting to get confident

Your advice was good Doc. I stopped being a wuss and kept moving it, Really sore but Im moving it. Ibuprofen really helps.

Less sore than 2 days ago or more sore?

eirebilly wrote:Keep an eye on AsBo there Gibbo, i have a feeling that he is starting to get confident

Yeah, but will he be confident, when we take him a special club for men who wear skirts too eh?

In truth, he has a strong right to be confident. I reckon this game will be won by one score either way.

If that's true about D'Arcy then Deccie is putting hi v's up to the rugby Gods.

One for the wall folks https://www.606v2.com/t25522-friday-fun-wayne-mooney#1034202 (I reckon Glas will have some good ones)

I played a whole netball game at centre last night, and fell surprisingly un-sore this morning. We got thrashed by the top team, which means that if the team that was behind us in 5th lost last night we play the top team again in the semis next week (ugh), or we drop down to the Plate playoffs

MrsP wrote:Less sore than 2 days ago or more sore?

Different sore Doc. Its concentrated in one place now. Right in the front of the shoulder-joint. Two days ago it was shooting-pain right down my arm and it hurt everywhere. Nerve job? Feels like Mo boxed me in my sleep. Again. I wouldnt mind but she snores too.

Glas a du wrote:If that's true about D'Arcy then Deccie is putting hi v's up to the rugby Gods.

It's true. Every game in this 6N, all five games in the last two 6Ns and the last two games of the Slam in 2009.

And in 2011 he was as bad as any international 12 has ever been and still got picked

Not sure?



I thought you said it was your shoulder blade that was the worst?

Slight exaggeration, Notch - I'll see your GdA and raise you Morrison, S Lamont, Andy Henderson, Chainsaw Laney, Marcus di Rollo, ... need I go on?

Good man Gibbo, take him to a nice place where they will appreciate a man in a skirt

MrsP wrote:Not sure?

Don't worry yer pretty heid, MrsP, we'll sort it out with a small amputational procedure tomorrow after the game

Good job I brought my sharp sgian dubh

Nah, he was playing as badly as any of them to be fair. Couldn't catch a ball or give a pass. Firing the ball five yards behind the intended target. I still have flashbacks to it to this day.

Ah sure you could have someone's arm off with your razor sharp wit alone Asbo!

Ouch!

Deccie has a blind-spot for mediocre 12' s. In fact, his whole mindset is a blind-spot. If Ross and Healy had not come through, he'd still be playing Horan & Hayes.

Bet he brings Wally back into the squad in the Summer. That would be ludicrous but I wouldnt put it past him.

It's so sharp it would hardly hurt at all!

Just make sure you look after the aul fella!

And the other Aul fella with him.

And the pups too!

Yeah pain was everywhere. Across my back, down my orm. I havent a bloody clue how it happened. All I know is, I can lift pints gingerly now. Grand.

Believe me, it will be the other way round. Always is.

Och, you know me, heart of gold, won't see any harm come to the hair(s) on their heads

Ha! All roysh Hugbert bud? What time do ye goys get in at?

Hair?

What hair?

I'll lay 'em up, you knock 'em down

Morning all

Gutted I am working this weekend, hopefully won't be too busy and can sneak up to the mess room to watch the 6 nations games.

Nevermind, Pete, we get to see you Wednesday evening - delighted with that result
