The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Sixmilebridge

First topic message reminder :

Sláinte and 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 made it's way to the homeland of the wonderful Eirebilly, who we were all horrified to hear that he was involved in a helicopter crash on Friday. Better news though is that he's awake and swearing like a sailor, so no change there Wink

Feel free to take in all of the pubs, of which the Greyhound is but one of many.

Updates on Billy's progress can be found here: https://www.606v2.com/t30132-eirebilly-op-updated-02-06-2012 and I'm sure we'll all continue in sending the positive thoughts and good wishes to him and his family.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the snooker table, brought in especially for Billy. And I'm not quite sure how that picture of a sheep got above the bar.....

Ale

Ahh everyones at home watching the rugby! Cry

Bore da pawb / good morning all - what rugby's on today? I'm out of touch!

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:33 am

Ignore that, it's Australia v Scotland, of course! Doh

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:34 am

Australia v Scotland, Lucky.

And I'm just putting it out there like, but Scotland really really do have the best looking rugby team.

CARI -

All those enjoying your holiday clap

each to their own

ME - I cannot get in to work, I offered to go in, as the office is closed. It is costing me a not insignificant amount of £££ so raspberry

See the Welsh summer has arrived in New South Wales Rolling Eyes

by **Pal Joey** Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:36 am

I agree with everything Phil Kearns just said. Conditions will suit Scotland.

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:37 am

I cooked Phil Vickery's grilled mushroom recipe for dinner last night (well sort of, I used spring onion instead of parsley, and added pancetta), found the recipe on the BBC Food site. I didn't know he'd retired from rugby.

by **Pal Joey** Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:39 am

We do our best Pete. Very Happy

Pictures doing it justice. Timing for this match couldn't have been worse with this storm. It's a hurricane in Sydney at the moment... unbelievable noise outside. Erm

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:43 am

ooooh Scotland steam

don't try miracle offloads in this weather when you're 5m outside the Aus tryline!

Definitely. By far. With France 2nd, and Wales in 3rd. (I don't see enough of the SH teams to really comment on them Smile

)

Feic is everyone watching the rugby? Sad

Listening to some woman on rte 2FM who writes books about angels...have no idea how anyone believes this gumph...... Headscratch

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:54 am

can you not get a stream to watch this one then Rodders?

by **Notch** Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:54 am

by Thomond Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:54 am

Typical Welsh hating the Irish, how could you not love this guy? Laugh

Spoiler:

by **Pal Joey** Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:54 am

Apparently Newcastle had the world's largest soap factory for a while... coal, copper and steel were big too.

Seems impossible to hold onto the ball for any length of time... for both sides.
(I hope BB doesn't set it up for a charge down in-goal next time!) steam

I can see something like that happening. Risky plays in slippery conditions. Smile

with that picture, now honestly, I can't think why not......

by Thomond Tue 05 Jun 2012, 10:56 am

Also Dreamer, are you seriously questioning my ability to give people streams?

Rod Squad, If you need them I have plenty? You're at work though righ?

Everyone's always against the Cork people, I apologise that we're so much better than all of you. Wink

Also Mike Ross looks suspiciously like the Hulk there.

Fixed it for you Rodders thumbsup

You've really thought about this, haven't you, Dreamer? Laugh

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:01 am

Perhaps.

by **rodders** Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:02 am

At work dreamer can't watch it Cry

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:04 am

ah nah that's rubbish Rodders Sad

Tis 3-0 to Scotland anyways, after they've had ridiculous amount of possession. They've just seen off a fair few phases of attack by Australia too. Can't get over the conditions though, awful out there.

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:04 am

make that 6-0, cracking kick by Laidlaw in this wind.

by Thomond Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:05 am

Now 6-0. Oz don't know how to play in rain, they are the drought generation, same thing happened when they played Ireland in the RWC.

by **rodders** Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:06 am

...Tis Dreamer...can't even see these hunky Scots you are on about... Mike Ross is a fine speciman of a man though.... Whistle

by **Pal Joey** Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:07 am

Good defence from both sides so far.
Yes, that was a great kick by Laidlaw from the sideline, dreamer.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:10 am

Does anyone know when Rob Howley* names the Welsh team for Saturday's Test?

* - after running it past the boss.

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:11 am

Ah rodders, you don't know what you're missing out on Wink

Australia v close to Scotland's line now! Sexy Scots pinged for offside and Australia kicking at the posts.

blydi hell they have to put the ball on it's side on the tee AND have someone hold it to stop it falling over.

3 - 6 though, good kick.

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:11 am

Lucky - I think Gats is going to ring him on Thursday and let him know what it is Wink

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:13 am

Ah, Thursday then. Smile

He was just penalised, but Ross Rennie is a great little rugby player. So glad to see him back after the injury problems he's had.

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:17 am

ah no Monty is off! Sad

Good looks rating has just dropped by at least 2 for the team over all....

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:19 am

Hmm, a three-point lead and the Wallabies will have the wind at their backs in the second half. It's going to need quite a performance from Scotland after the break.

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:20 am

Lucky - btw I'm assuming it'll be Thursday the team will be announced, we usually do it 2 days before the match. Then again the whole squad only train together for the 1st time on Weds, so chance it could be Friday instead I guess.

by Thomond Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:24 am

Spoiler:

Is it weird how I want these? Think Scotland take it. Will be a tight one though.

by **rodders** Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:29 am

OK how we doing here chaps...we winning?... Braveheart

yes.

But then again....hmmm...I see your point...(I would never own a pair myself though!)

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:30 am

6-3 to Scotland, rodders, and the 2nd half is about to start now.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:31 am

Thomond, that's not a shoe I'd wear myself, but each to his own!

by Thomond Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:33 am

The style of shoe is a bit annoying but the design itself is pretty neat. Someone sent it to me on twitter and thought it was pretty damn class. It's probably the only useful thing I have ever got out of my twitter account!

by **Pal Joey** Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:33 am

Thomond, the orange ones would go well with a big black curly afro... Laugh

The gale is behind us now.... Yahoo

'Mon Oz!

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:36 am

The design's okay, but better suited for a t-shirt, I'd say.

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:37 am

aaaargh I just missed a bluetit chick fledge, I literally flicked back over to the rugby and missed it.

Every blydi time I miss them Sad

by Guest Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:40 am

correction: my mother is doubting herself and think it's the parent bird she saw. Honestly, I don't know...

by Thomond Tue 05 Jun 2012, 11:40 am

It's not like I'm actually going to buy them, you have to get them shipped from the US. Bit of a trek like. Those style shoes are what's happening now days though. It's all about being retro!
