Barrel's Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub & Restaurant, Luderitz

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 stayed in Africa this week as part of its build up to the Heineken Cup final, and attached itself to Barrels restaurant in Luderitz, Namibia, known for its beer, Eisbein and sing-a-longs.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Simon Danielli, Federico Aramburu and the possibly Auckland-bound Joe Schmidt.

The coffee is one eh? That's, like, very zen or something

always makes me feel in the morning.

Beautiful clear blue sky here this morning, what's going on? Where's all the rain gone?

I don't mind working when the weather's shoite - but this is plain wrong.

Bore da. Any editors in (except Dreamer) could you do the honourable? Ta.

Morning all

Up for Highlanders vs Hurricanes. Should be a tasty one! Could be massive in deciding who make the playoffs.

I've heard of players giving 110%, but the commentators just described the Highlanders 8 as being a guy who gives 120%- must be a hell of a player then.

Crickey o'rielly Munster were fairly put to the sword last night.

Morning all from sunny Dawlish. Have had a great week in Cornwall, hoping the weekend in Devon is as good. Hope everyone is well.

Heino tickets have arrived.




Morning all.

They sure were! Painful viewing there for Munster and Ireland fans . I've never seen Munster so comrehensively dismantled so easily before.

for Cari and the Ospreys fans .

For King Billy, Stag and the Munster crew

Horrible night sports wise yesterday, Munster pillaged, Cork City have a goal disallowed, hit the bar twice and miss a penalty and end up drawing (would have been a decent result beforehand but when you consider the circumstances freaking disappointing.)

Also this is a song that suits Leinster's season

Brilliant!

Train tickets booked! Arrive at Euston at 11:42

I have a prior commitment on Sunday that I don't think I'll be able to change, really don't want to let my sister down, so I may have to leg it after the game. Still gives us plenty of time for

Afternoon All.

Hope everyone's haviong a tidy weekend. Glad to hear you've sorted your trip to London out Swanny. You'll have a blast I'm sure.

It's been a bayoootiful day here in Westest Wales. Been up since about half five mind. I think I was still buzzing from last night Have done loads of walking about though and a bit of shopping. Not sure what I'll do this arvo but I'm definately going to watch the other semi later Come on Glasgae!! (Sorry Leinster pals, but a home final is more doable! )

Breadvan I'm very disappointed you only shook their hands. You could've given them a big manly cwtch! I would've got well stuck in!

so glad you can make it!

Stunning day in the Diff, weather to really make you

Afternoon folks,



Sipping a few pints.with Hound I'm ealing atm watching Quinns, nice relaxing day

Love it!!!

What a fantastic try from the Harliquinss fattys, mauled over from way out



Loved it!!!!

well that was a niceish build up to the biggest game of the weekend.



Llanelli v Aberavon.


Due to kick off in a bit, really hope we can make the final two years in a row!!

ah wow, Howard Thomas ( older brother to Martyn who used to play for the Dragons) is playing full back for Aberavon. He was much the better player of the two when at school, much more a rugby brain on him anyways and quicker. Not sure why he didn't decide to try it as a pro player.

16 - 6 to Llanelli at HT in this one, a proper tidy match, in perfect conditions, gutted I couldn't make my way down to Y Parc for it.

Jordan Williams playing a blinder, perfect from the boot so far.

Aberavon have messed up a couple of try scoring chances mind. Hope the 2nd half is more of the same!

Jordan Williams has really impressed me, including that tackle on the Aberavon 2nd row. He looks a great prospect

Ah bollix, the Final is next Friday night at 19:35. We'll have to find a pub with S4C - London Welsh clubhouse anyone ?

oh na, I thought it was going to be on a Thurs! Gutted I won't be able to go and watch that live now

SO WHAT!!!!

Same here Dreamer, the pair of us were hoping to go along to Sardis Road. I would obviously be supporting Ponty, just to maintain the balance you understand

Hoog - some of us follow grass roots rugby, not just the big glory games

ha, sure twould be for the balance!

Hoog - What Penfro said


Merde! Aberavon just scored, good pace by their no 6 mind.

Great try for Aberavon from their blindside, under the posts,. Got to be 16-all now

tis indeed Penfro.

Hmm, not happy bout that, Llanelli need to score asap, Aberavon have had much the better play in this 2nd half so far.

that was appalling from Gardiner going into contact, got stripped far FAR too easily.

16 - 19, this is not a bad advert for the Premiership

And with that Jordan Williams ties up the scores on 58 minutes

Aberavon forwards really turning the screw here.


Ah Jordan bach, first mistake with a knock on there.

Outstanding, truly outstanding try for Nic Reynolds, Llanelli

yeeeaaahaha! what a try!


Lovely pass out wide from Owen to Jordan Williams, straighten take and give to Iongi with a lovely offload to Reynolds to finish it off.


Ooo that's lush.

and the metronome that is Jordan Williams adds the extras 26-19 (68 mins)

Kirby and Dan have really injected some pace into this Llanelli side. Can't wait for them to make the step up to the Scarlets over the next couple of seasons.

and another cracker of a try, great pace by Reynolds, deft hands to pass out to Lewis who goes over.

This is more like it Llanelli!

Even blydi better !!! Amazing try for Jonny Lewis (Llanelli) - 31-19 (71 mins)

Blah blah blah blah

Jordan adds the points to the try he set up, lovely stuff

Yep and the Williams converts from the "wrong" touchline ( 7 out of 7 kicks !!)

Dreamer - fancy a pint in London Welsh clubhouse on Friday night then ?

Jordan Williams is human He's just thrown a forward pass !!

How many "grass roots" games you been to this year Pete?

Not sure what the plans for Friday are Pete, but aye I'd like to if it's possible.

This is like the 5th time this season things have gotten in my way of going to watch Llanelli

God bless S4C though, have managed to catch a lot more of them, the Quins and Drovers than I usually would.

waht a BEAUTIFUL try!!


How Justin James doesn't get game time at SH for Scarlets I just don't know.


This is just lovely to watch

About a 15 or so I would think Hoog, not as many as most seasons, but I was away for some small tournament in Sept and Oct .

Watched the Sarries obviously, but Milford Haven and Neyland in Pembrokeshire and I've got Beddau and Llantwit Fadre on my doorstep


Jeebus another super try from Llanelli, Dan Newton, converted 40-19 and Aberavon hit back for a deserved try 40-26 final score

Well of your talking about Llanelli as "grass roots" then London Scottish and Ealing count as well so.

In that case I've been to fricking loads of "grass roots" rugby this season myself as well

Thoroughly enjoyed that match, much more my cup of tea than the Quins v Saints match earlier (not surprising when I love watching running rugby )

Glad S4C are showing the Leinster v Glasgow match next now too.

A whole day of sunshine, rugby and Pimms. Bliss.
