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)

Cheers Prop lad

To be fair Gibbo there are a few of the Leinster lads who look like they want to get into the HC act.
Edinburgh on the other hand are only adding fuel to the argument from the AP and Top 14 about HC qualification.

Good man Prop. You seem so happy these days... Then again, you always are pal. tricky

Yeah Rav. Edinburgh holding back it seems. We are not. Some players are putting their hands up out there. Jenno is one. Madigan another. McFadden in open play. Toner getting more involved in the loose.

Its growing nicely. Squad depth and strength I mean.

Evening folks

How goes everyone this Friday evening?

Al right Ozzy mate.? How' s all yer lovely girlies? Still running rings around you bud?

Nacewa is just such a class act. Such a shame he can't play test rugby.

Anyone else see the Autumn tests lineup? Ireland are only playing twice; against South Africa and Argentina. The weekend in between the Wolfhounds are playing Fiji. That'll be a very strong team for the Wolfhounds I'd say. Pretty much the Second XV.

Dragons losing at home. Oops they just scored. Two minutes to go they are a point behind.
Treviso with two in the bin.

Mackennnnn!

Good man Madigan! More of it.

Win for Treviso on the road. Is that their first league win this calendar year?

Treviso getting so much stronger by the season. NO one takes them for granted anymore. Home or away. Great to see. Shame about Aironi. Need a strong replacement.

What a try from Toner. That guy is a revelation in the loose.

That's not a loss for Edinburgh, it's an annihilation.

Well done Leinster. You can only beat what is put in front of you but that was quite an embarrassment for the Pro 12 in my opinion.

Thats the League won proper, with our 2nd string for most of the season. Oh yes.

That second string is better than the first team Gibson!

Unfortunately no medals handed out yet. It'll be over to the big boys on the playoffs to secure the silverware.

While Ulster and ASM get it on in Twickers......

Keeping me on me toes as always mate. How's tings in de Dam? Big win for Leinstuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrr tonight.

Ah grand Pete. On my Tobler. MrsG is still in London. I think she' s left me and just hasnt said it yet.

Looking forward to Koninginnedag coming up (end of month). Big family meet up in the Dam on the best day of the year. Grand.

Its Paddy's Day on steroids. Great day. The City comes alive and the buzz is superb.

Looks cracking, although yer feiced if you don't like orange by the looks of things!!!

What's your travel plans for Heino final weekend? I can't make the final, but am desperate to meet up with Rava for a so hoping you are over the same time as him so I can buy you one too pal.

It will be your lucky weekend Pete. We will be together on that weekend and will go to the ends to meet up with you.
Any chance you could do the Amlin Final on the Friday night at the Stoop?

If there's an award for most underrated player in the Pro12, it should go to Brendan Williams. He's magic.

Evening all.

Thats true actually, he always brings it.

Sounds like a good win for Leinster. Played a soccer match this evening and I played one of my best games of the year, an assist and a goal line clearance.


But one thing annoys me it's the 3rd City game I have missed this year (first home one) and not only do they decide to finally play but they decide to win 6 freaking nil. FFS!!!!!!!!!! still happy with the 2 wins

In a better side than Treviso he'd be fantastic, Notch.

Have just checked the calender to see what I am working on the Friday Rava and that could be a goer.

Ah we have to meet up me aul segocia. Miss yer face.

As you well know, Rav and I dont drink perse(?)... but we shall imbibe in some light refreshments and canapes with your good self.

Yeah man. Leinster are getting embarassing at this stage. Im just smiling inside.

Sheeeting myself about ASM though. They want it bad. Have equal, if not better, squad strength. On form. At home (well Bordeaux). We couldnt have a tougher SF.

A win there, would be bigger than our 2 x HC Final wins, IMO. Its our toughest assignment possible for years. Hope we are ready and up for it.

If Ulster can nearly do it down there, then surely Leinster can finish the job.

Different game T. One game from the Final. Its a huge ask.

But I do believe with BODs return, Thorn in the pack. And Leo back to his best... we could just do it. Sexton may well be the differ in that one.

ASM v Leinster will be a monster game Gibbo, just seriously huge match ups all over.

Wagga v Thorn, Rougerie v BOD and Byrne v Kearney are mouthwatering prospects.

Would love to see an Ulster v leinster final, but as you say, it is going to be a huge ask for Leinster to go to France and win.

Does Brock James kick the goals for Clermont these days, or is it Morgan Parra?

It was a bit tongue in cheek Gibbo, Leinster will do it though, Fitzgerald has impressed me a lot in the past few weeks. He has had a very good season but has been magnificent the past while. Trying to show the IRFU they fudged up and boy have they!

Actually I think playing in Bordeaux instead of the Stade Marcel Michelin means this will be easier for Leinster.

'Easier' is such a relative term isn't it?

Bordeaux makes it easier, I would back Leinster to do it but you never know.

Have a good night in the pub people, i am away but will be sure to set the coffee for you in the morning.

I'm not at all sure it will be harder for Leinster than it was for Ulster. If I remember correctly ASM were out if we beat them and we very nearly did. My money would be on Leinster and the only reason I would rather face you lot in a final, if we were to make it, would be because you are another Irish team.

I would fear Leinster more than ASM.

People should watch this, it is a truely great story and it is nice to see athletes do something like this rather than just go to a place once. It's a bit heartbreaking but makes you proud of the people of some of the good people we have on the planet.

Spoiler:

Very moving stuff t dog (I went with it and I'm glad I did)

Anyone picked their horses for tomorrow yet?

I don't not like it. I find horse racing boring as feck.

But its the National T. That' s when everyone who knows nowt about horses, backs one. Its tradition. I won 150 quid on the National winner last year, just before the Leinster v Tigers QF. What a day.

Morning!

I'm all excited for later. I hope it's a corker of a match Well done to Leinster yesterday - wasn't expecting that sort of score! Shame I'll miss the Connacht/Ulster game later and it's on the red button, so I would've watched that. Never mind. Mind you, I forgot about the Dragons last night. Doh!

Willy - I haven't put a private bet on, but I picked "Junior" in the work sweepstake. Wouldn't be disappointed to win the 50 squid...and I get my pound back if the horse comes in last.

Girls weekend in London is finally here! Just need to.get my lazy self out of bed to get ready...

Have wonderful weekend's all

Morning all,

Have an awesome time Dreamer.

Just been on my daily morning YouTube tour and I think I have to say that the Tri Nation's in 2010 was probably the most exciting series of international rugby in my 13 years or so of watching the game.

Morning Munsty,

Yes, it was really nail-biting stuff. Some high scoring matches which could have gone either way and a few very close matches as well.

I particularly remember the matches in SA - that first match was an unbelievable start... then they blew it. Then they nearly blew it again!

Credit to the ABs though. They were undefeated in that series until the "4th Bledisloe" in Hong Kong. I watched that match from a bar in Tokyo -
It was a fair consolation I thought.

The two matches between Australia and South Africa in the Republic were something else. Just how rugby can be with a positive attitude.

Morning all,

Long time no speak Linebreaker!

When are you heading off Munsty?

Ahhhhh manflu! Captain Trips! Feicin day is ruined!!! Sunny day outside too! Plans out the window!

A couple of Paracetamol and a box of tissues and you're sorted Rodders.

The helicopter conversation? Or has that one already flown off the radar?

Anyway, how are you MrsP?

I am very happy indeed Linebreaker.

The sun is shining, we have had a fantastic family Easter, Ulster are through to the HEC semi and the SUFTUM tee shirts I ordered yesterday have arrived!

And the facepaints in white, red and black too!
