The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Georgia

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 pub has ventured to Georgia, because rugbydreamer wants the Scarlets to find a nice forward out there.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of birthday boy Hughie, Chris Budgen, Leo Cullen, Brian O'Driscoll, Paddy Wallace, Tomas O'Leary and a red faced Ronan O'Gara on the wall.

Friend of mine just posted a photo of himself and Stephen Jones at Brizzle Airport. Lovely chap, smiling and arm around everything.

Really excited about this Crosskeys game today. Weather is probably going to go wet at kick off time though.

I have to say I think that the British and Irish Cup has come on leaps and bounds.

I reckon Crosskeys v Cornish will be a top game.

I think so. It's good that the semis ended up as they did too. A cross border one and an all Irish one. I think today will be good yeah. On s4c too.

I was yanking your chain about the attendance thing though, ya big hypocrite

I could see Clermont beating Leinster and could see either of Munster/Ulster beatign Clermont, but I don't see either province capable of beating Leinster. As far beating Toulouse, it is possible. A lot of Irish pundits are plumping for Edinburgh.

itd be superb to see Endinburgh do it today. canny see it myself though to be honest

Happy Birthday Hugmeister.
See you in the Horse Show later.

Puma, Seorse, Shelle agus mise, on our way into Town soon. Not a bad day in Dublin. Hope the rain holds off.

Was in the RDS last night. Well done to Munster. They wanted it more.

I want us to open the after-burners today. Its that time of year again. This game will be closer than people think.

Have a great day all.

Is Penfro Pete ok ? or has he gone on his holidays again.

Happy Birthday Hughie!

Gibbo - so you don't think it will be a cricket score? I went for a 21 point win but then again I'm always over-generous.

Have a great day out and about lads!

Morning pub

I'm going to miss the rugby today However I am spending the afternoon with my sister at a spa. Some well needed sisterly R and R

Sky+ and then try to avoid hearing the results!

Hughie, have a fantastic birthday

Being bored in the house results in me going out earlier than planned for pints. Even though I'm not a Keys fan per se, I'm incredibly nervous and excited. Have a nice day, especially my little birthday babe!

Rev any idea there the final is?

Where? Yeah it's in Thomond so I hear

Yea where it is I meant.

Thomond would be great though maybe a little large. Musgrave Park is Cork could be a better location.

I'm not sure. I thought I read Thomond, but can't find it now. I'd have thought Musgrave too.

Musgrave Park would have a better chance of selling out. Munster have home advantage though. They would be better off opening one stand in Thomond if they play it there.

It probably is Thomond Rev. Just think its too big.

They could nearly sell out Musgrave.

Musgrave is 10,000 at the moment. They would get at least 7,500 or so for it in my view. I would head down if it's in Cork anyway.

Ok I finished that article I wanted to do about the Pro 12.

1st half at Adams Park over. Wasps have done reasonably well but Biarritz look just too strong. Last minute try for the TH gives Biarittz a 17-9 lead.

A good read Stag. I'll comment later when I'm on my laptop.

Just one wee observation though. Two HC wins is maybe stretching the meaning of the word Multiple.

Multiple = More than One

Try Wasps.
Still a lot to do but they aren't out of it yet. 16-23

Trrrrryyyyyy!!!!

All square with 14 minutes to go. Are Biaritz running out of steam.

Come On Wasps!!

UNREAL!!! Excellent. Who got them?

Wade got the first one. I think it was the IC who got the other.

At half time I thought it was a formality but Biaritz didn't kick on in the second half. Wasps can win this now.

They are a team I really want to see come back as a top class side.

Pen Biaritz.
5 minutes to go.

Penalty Biaritz in the 82nd minute. Game over.

Really hard luck Wasps.

Future looks bright for you. Just concentrate on securing that Premiership place.

As for Biaritz. Yashvilli and Harry aside. They are an ageing side that won't scare anyone.

Anyone have any links for today's other games?

As have I sent you the list? It covers pretty much every sporting event. Will send it and you should save it.

Thanks, T - you did send it before but I lost it, so will hang on to it this time

It's now more comprehensive then ever and it's also in your inbox

Ahem

Cheers Rava, cheers stag. Daft penalty to give away at the end. Thought it was a knock on for the first Biarritz try, but haven't seen a replay.

Ryan Davis' try was excellent and I thought we could kick on and win it. Not to be and the worse is yet to come at the pub. One of our number is a real ref basher, and Lacey missed quite a lot today

Hound the "knock on" was inconclusive. I don't think it could have been given though.
I thought the ref did fairly well.

It's a pity in rugby that after nearly every game it's an analysis of a refs performance that dominates rather than the teams.
Getting too much like soccer unfortunately.

Unrelated to rugby, but just got to vent at the idiocy of the bloke who just ruined the Boat Race just now

What did he do?

Mon Edinburgh. Give it a real go.
Do it for the Pro 12. Do it for Scottish Rugby.

Most of all do it for Edinburgh and the fans.

SUFTEM

Or the rules are too complicated?

Gutted Wasps lost

Ymlaen Edinburgh!


Oh and Penblwydd Hapus Hughie, have a fab day

Swam in front of the boats, forcing them to restart and thus ruining 6 months of rigorous constant training for 18 people whilst endangering his own life by being run down by about a ton of fast moving aerodynamic pointy carbon fibre

Try!!!

just noticed NIge is reffing, lovely,


Ooooo and is that a try?!


it so looks like one to me, oooh c'mon TMO...


YES!!
