The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Beach Leileifiafiafale, Samoa

First topic message reminder :

Talofa*, afio mai** to the Leileifiafiafale*** - 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 Samoa because Biltongbek fancied cocktails on the beach.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of the recently retired Lloyd Burns and Peter Short; Richardt Strauss and Stephen Jones or the posters for "Stamp Out Racism" featuring Pat Lam and "Justice 4 John Afoa".

* Hello
** Welcome
***Good Feast House (hopefully)

No it isn't, but sometimes you do need short term cover too I guess. Jones and Sidoli have played a heck of a lot of rugby this season, one of them gets a long term injury and you'll be in trouble.

Tis all about managing squad sizes I guess. Not a job I'd like!

Rev - agree with you, the likes of Tuilagi are weird signings for you, but I guess it depends on if the player fits in with the sort of squad environment he's trying to build. Certainly I hope you guys sign better players for next season (and the same goes for the Scarlets!)

Rava - I haven't a clue! I might just not be all that hungry tomorrow so might not eat so much, guess it balances itself out...I dunno, am a bit random like that I guess.

Stag - there is absolutely no way I'd survive on just a tin of tuna and a banana. No chance. I'd have to go on a carbs splurge when I got home coz I'd be so hungry if I did that.

Well no I had weetabix for brekkie which is filling. Then a yogurt at 11. Then a can of tuna and a banana at lunch time at 2. I'll have a pear around 4 and my dinner at around 6.30.

see the breakfast and elevenses I've got no problem with, but the lunch...I just wouldn't be able to work properly I'd be too hungry.

And don't you just get really hungry in the evening then if you are eating as early as 6:30??

I'd tend to have a small snack later in the evening around 8.30 or 9 also though.

hmmmm. alright then.

I still take issue with your lunch though

But then, maybe somedays I just eat too much...

I dont have this every day anyway. Other days I'll have a sandwich instead of my tuna. Theres your carbs

Plus I know I am having pasta for dinner tonight so will be getting oodles of carbs then.

Yeah MrsP....I said I'd torment you for the rest of your life and they said that me even speaking to you would be bad enough punishment

Ah I'm only joking....6 years to took me to find my way out!!

Couple of impressive thunderclaps here, could be some decent rain coming

If it's the same as what I had yesterday then it'll be pretty lacking in rain.

We were away last wek and have had various stuff on this week so we had our gelayed annual Easter Egg hunt today!

The best thing about the family P Easter Egg hunt is that they could go on till Christmas!

Honour remains in sport.

Afternoon All.

What's new?

The weekend is upon again, and my match ticket arrived in very good time. One thing the Blues are good at... Looking forward to it. It'll be the last time I see Shane Williams play live.

Is it tonight Cari?

Afternoon Cari,

Not seen you for a while. How's things?

And hello MrsP

Hello Swanny.

Girls night?

Hi both

MrsP - it's tomorrow evening. I don't mind a Saturday evening kick off though.

Swanny - how's the job going these days? All still good I hope?

Girls night sounds good, whilst we can. Before the testosterone turns up

The job's fine Cari, if a little strange right now. The service went out for tender before I started, hence the set end date for me, but they found out a couple of weeks ago that they didn't get it. The contract went to a charity so they're all up in the air until they find out how it will affect everyone individually. A few stressed and scared people there, and we both know how that feels.

Just talking to my brother there. He's been shortlisted for best sports writer for the National Student Media awards. If he wins it it'll be his second sports award this year. Fair proud of him.

well done Stag's brother, that's fantastic

Swanny - sure do. Hopefully everything will work out in your favour though. I'm glad I moved now to be honest. Work's going really well

Staggy - congrats to your bruv. Hope he wins it. That'd be cool for the Family Stag.

We've done a sweepstake in work for the Grand National. I've picked a horse called "Junior". I've no idea about gambling on horses. If it comes last though I get my squid back

Really pleased it's working out well for you Cari

They've just said on the local news that Fabrice Muamba may be discharged from hospital in the next few days. He's been transferred to a hospital near here. His recovery is just incredible.

That's great news. He's made a miraculous recovery fairdo's.

Evening all. A couple of people at work tried using a couple of different statistical analysis techniques to pick their 4 horses as favourites to win the National. The two methods came up with 8 different horses between them!

Though one of the 8 is called "According to Pete" so that one's getting my money!

Pints for stag and his bro !

Anyone watching the leinster game?

Yup. Looks like we are going for it too. This will be an open game. Both teams cant play any other way. Which is noice.

Expect a big game from Madigan.

Jennnnnnnno!

Best 7 in Ireland. Best 7 in yurop.

McFadden hasn'ae brought his kicking boots vandaag. Sure give Madigan a few shots.

Try for the Leinster 7! Whats his name again......

Ewmbra having a go now. Love it!

Flip McFadden nutmegged again!

Good try Edinburgh. They have such patience in their build up and great ball-handling skills.

5-7.

Game On!

Great steal from Toner!

What a try!

Champagne stuff from Leinster!

I love the fact that no matter what team we put out - they play the same way.

Its like Ajax. Óne style from kids up. Just slot the players into it and let them go.

Rugby is so simple sometimes.

Jenno having a great game.

Poor game.

Leinster should be further ahead in truth. Heaslip has been good so far, good to see him getting in there and winning turnovers at the breakdown. He may wear 8, but he's a genuine 7.5

Dont agree Rav.
Its far better than 80% of the shoite from some teams this year. Yes mistakes are being made, but Id rather see them made, whilst both teams are having a real go, rather than killing the game as a spectacle...

Really enjoying this.

Crooooninnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Why don't they let Madigan or Nacewa kick?

Mcfadden has missed more kicks in this game, than he has all season. Bad day at the kicking office. Made up for by his overall play. Happens.

Try Madigan for the place-kicks Joe!

It will be Iosa I reckon.

Only yanking you chain Gibbo.
Fairly easy for Leinster though.
Edinburgh are going throught the motions a wee bit.

Rava wrote:Why don't they let Madigan or Nacewa kick?

Because they have to let McFadden to redeem himself for missing all those tackles ....

It's the porous defence which illustrates the Heineken Cup hangover for these teams.

Just had a massive plate of curry with all the extras there. Fair stuffed now.
A couple of nice To help it down.

For Edinburghs try McFadden and Carr really were all at sea! Won't matter if they keep cutting Edinburgh open.

Leinster just need to win this, with this kind of performance. Then the top spot is guaranteed. Id expect to see a mostly A side, with a very strong bench, next week at Ravenhill.

We should be miles ahead by now. Happy the way we are going at them.

Well, we should win at Ravenhill next week. But this week I fear a Connacht ambush.

Seeing as I haven't done it for a while for Gibbo and Rava!! And boys, listen to The Wild Rover for me!!

As you say its HC hangover. Thing is, most of those players are not on the field here. That's the differ in quality. Lots of 2nd-string players. Changing partnerships, trying to get our drift defence in sync, spilling ball, missing kicks, yada yada. But the intent from us is great to see. Our 2nd team is getting so much stronger.

Toooobbbyyyyyyy!

Try for Faletau. Not the best match at RP tonight.

That is mesmeric! What a finish by Carr!

Theres no doubt about it... Leinsters 'B' team is the best rugby team on the planet!
