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.

I'm about to watch the Rugby League challenge cup whilst my hair changes colour.

Afternoon all

What colour are you going for Cari?

Red. Well more of a chesnut red than scarlet.

I've no. Idea about rugby league but there's some eye candy at least

I would love to colour my hair but a mispent youth colouring it every other weekend led to it leaving me

I have really gotton into RL the last two years, cracking game. The defensive lines that they use are excellent.

You know your local Sydney team beat Melbourne 12-10 this afternoon here, Billy. Talk about a defensive game... it was a cracker.

Too much happening right now... all those bloody football games, the RL is delayed here but I'll have a look tomorrow when they replay it. I like watching the Giro d'Italia too.

Hair like Cisse!

Thats a decent win for Canterbury breaker, cheers for the update

I like changing my hair colour, I have a 100% natural plan for my hair colour to change very slowly across the next 50 years.

I think I've already completed the change of hair colour.

Mind you bright red for next weekend hasn't been ruled out

That would be epic Rava.

Notch - I think we have a similar hair colour now

Time to play Who Has The Best Bum. It's how I pick my Lotto numbers.

Cronulla beat them... without Gallen. I thought you played for Sutherland in rugby? They (Southern Districts) won too on Saturday.

Southern districts it was breaker. How have they been doing? I have not looked at them for nearly 10 years.

I thought you meant the RL mate

Oh i get it, Cronulla beacuse i lived at Sans Souci... I am a little slow today breaker, Sunday and all

I was talking about the NRL first then added the remark about Southern Districts.

Jaysus, they are second!!!

What happened to Randwick, they were always the team to beat?

A fella called Monaghan scores the first try for Wolves. Had to be an Irishman

That was the televised match too. Forshaw Park. Is that where you played?

The Wicks have had a dreadful start. I honestly can't see them coming back but they always bloody do.... surely they can't?
Not possible?

Yep, and it was close to Miranda for a good night out

Weh i was there, a very you Manny Edmonds was just satrting out and i really rated him. Thought that he was a dead cert to play for the Aussies one day.

Michael Monaghan... Cari. From the ACT but he played for Manly. Top player - he won the Grand Final for us in 2007.
On the other side (Catalans) is Steve "Beaver" Menzies. My favourite player of all time just about.

Is he still playing in France, Billy? Last I heard he was still going but he must be over 30 now?

Have no idea to be honest. It was in 96-97 and he was about 20 then.

Breaker, I was just taking the pee. I don't think there's any Irishmen playing...I thought they were all from oop North in RL oh wait there's one called O'Brien...

eirebilly wrote:Have no idea to be honest. It was in 96-97 and he was about 20 then.

Yes, he was part of our winning Bledisloe Cup side in 2001. Born in Ashburton, NZ and only played a couple of tests. I think Stirling Mortlock replaced him in 2002? Just checked... he's 35 now. How time flies!

Cheers breaker. i suddenly feel old when littly Manny is 35

the Irish are everywhere... you can't keep them out of the game. Right Billy?

Did you see the smile on Gareth Delve's face last night? Big win over the Crusaders... well, epic win actually. Now that Cips is gone the Rebels seem to be firing.

Oh, did you see that late take out of the kicker in the RL

W breed like rabbits breaker, maybe thats why Cari fancies young master Bowe

That's because you are old billy

It's the rabbit diet Billy. The glossy fur is an irresistible attraction to women.

Where is the <bitchslap> emotican

Its the charm breaker

So you're a charming old baastard then?

Billy - not fussed on breeding, but it's fun trying

Well I'm lost. I don't know what's offside, a foul or what in RL. That ref is running around with an impressive beer gut tho.

Only to the sheep mate
My Baahhh pickup lines are legendary

Have some respect Hughie you will also be old some day

I still dont get the number system Cari, let alone the offside and foul rules...

Cari... aren't there 2 refs? One of them must have been dining at Chez Chef's....

Yeah the numbers don't seem to be sequential do they?

Penalty infringements.... not fouls!!! Get it right!

I think that hooker is 9
10 and 11 are props...

2 refs?! Now I am confused!

Halftime in the football. For reasons best known to myself I checked the scores. Title heading to the blue half of Manchester. Come on QPR!!!!

Cari wrote:Yeah the numbers don't seem to be sequential do they?

The opposite to union, Cari.... sort of.

Fullback 1, wingers 2 & 5, centres 3 & 4, 5/8 (stand-off) is 6, halfback 7. Sometimes the No.8 is "13" in league... can also be front row "13". Locks are called second-rowers 9 & 10. Note the absence of flankers.... only 13 players per team. Scrums uncontested, no line outs.

Does that help?

It's 6 - 20 in Perpignon to Warrington at HT.

No not really

Oh that makes sense if it's like that, Breaker.

I get confused when I see the letters on rugby players. Which team has that? Quins or Sarries? Or do they use numbers now?

Afternoon all. have just spent a pleasant couple of hours in Exeter having a picnic on the grass in front of the cathedral. gutted its the last day of our holiday, not looking forward to going back to work next week!

how is everyone?

We're fine Pete... just trying to get a handle on all the sport going on.

You must be looking forward to the warmer weather though... or is that when all the crazies come out in slightly larger numbers?

Hi Ozzy. Lovely day for being outdoors it is too!

RL tends to have mad scores as well like 12 - 60.
