The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Mendoza

Hello 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 its way to Mendoza - the city at the foothills of the Andes and one of the venues for the inaugural Rugby Championship.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Rory McIlroy, Sam Cane, Juan José Imhoff, Eben Etzebeth, Jake Schatz and Rob McCusker.

Hola amigos.

Morning all. Make mine an Asbo special (seeing as the man himself is "sunning" himself in the Outer Hebrides)

Morning.

Congratulations to Dreamer on her competition win. Enjoy your trip to Glasgow

¡Hola!

¿Dónde está tu chaqueta? ¡Lo perdido en el centro de la ciudad de Cardiff!

Morning pub

What a wonderful view out of the windows , anyone seen a Yeti ?

Stuck with the closing ceremony for the most part, couldn't see Rory but was following it. Enjoyed it some great acts and some horrible ones. Brand was okay, Jessie J isn't a great singer to be honest.

Still relatively enjoyable, although the Brits get a boxer who won gold on the wall (dodgily) and we don't? Boo-urns!

¡Buenos dias, hijos de puta!

Lucky, if you find a "Mobot" emoticom... PM it to me and I'll transplant it into the header.

Breaker, could you edit the OP so that it says the Pub has made its way rather than it's way? Ta!

That'll teach me to cut & paste old pubs won't it?

Rava and Gibbo aren't up yet

A Belarussian shot putter has been stripped of here gold due to having a banned substance. It's the one who looked like Shane Byrne

Hmmm, not the nicest way for NZ to gain another gold medal, but we'll take it! Especially since it's our only medal not won sitting down.

It leapfrogs us over Cuba to 15th

Well GB robbed one in the boxing (Joshua), NZ can do so too

According to Wiki

Metenolone (methenolone, Nibal, Primbolan) is a long-acting anabolic steroid with weak androgenic (testosterone or androsterone-like) properties

Explains a lot. Mick TEFC and I were watching the shot in France, and at one point I mistook Ostapchuk for a male coach (she was wearing a hoodie in between throws)

Is that true, Thomond? They mentioned during the competition that her performances had become loads better in the last few months.

Is it really worth cheating to win a gold medal? If you're caught, your name's mud and you'll always be remembered as a cheat; and if you manage to get away with it, you'll go the rest of your life knowing that you didn't win your medal fair and square.

An Irish journalist reporting it over twitter, Lucky so would assume it is. A shame, first stripped medal is it?

The judges must have all blinked every time he got hit. In fairness 3 of his fights were close enough but he got pummelled in his first fight. He's a lucky boy is mr Joshua.....

Ostapchuk had improved her throwing distance by around a metre over the past few months.

In NZ it'll take some pressure off the Adams entry scandal. An NZ team official failed to tick all the entry form boxes and only some last minute negotiations got Valerie into the event - which considering she's the reigning world champ and Beijing gold winner counts as severe negligence. Adams was reportedly throwing comparable distances to the Belarussian in training, but the stress knocked her off a bit.

One man's cheating is another man's gaining of competitive advantage.

...just ask the All Blacks

Its only a competitive advantage if you're the only one doing it....

Or the only one getting away with it...

I see you're still banging that drug, Rodders!

Sorry, drum.

BTW Glas/Lucky, if you have a look up in the writers' section there's a job going for a Welsh perspective in the 606V2 Hall of Fame.

Afternoon all. Speaking of the Rugby Championship, it is all systems go for the Wheatsheaf on Saturday kiwi.

Afternoon all from Sunny Holland, hope all is well with everyone in publand

Bout ye Billser . Weather not great here but the air con doesn't work right so it feels like summer non the less.....

Grand so here rodders, sun and 25

Seconded.

My aircraft I'm going home on is on its way. Can't wait, especially as I'll be home to watch Dragons on Friday now. Great to be back watching rugby again.

Didn't see any of the closing ceremony for obvious reasons. I have a lot to catch up on I player when I get home as it is. Seemed very well received by most though. Who carried our flag?

Ben Ainsleigh (sp?) Rev.

Good man yerself Billser. It's about -5 in here now. Damn air con.

Why dont you shut the power down on the airco by pulling its fuse rodders?

Outside my job remit Billser. If I was to die or get injured in the process my life insurance policy wouldn't cover it.

One must know their station in life sir...

Life is about risks rodders

It's chat like that that caused recession Billser....

Ah cheers Rodders. Fair play on that, I guess.

I dont know rodders, take a risk and jump in a helicopter. I can tell you first hand that surviving helicopter crashes can be quite profitable

Good man Billser, every cloud sir

Thanks though but flying Ryanair is where I draw the line.

Just one or two more and i will be set for life


Dont mention that to SVL

Personally I won't fly Ryanair either

Apparently i am forbidden from going near helicopters

Too right Billser. You gave us a fright the last time. Get yourself a mopehead or something instead....

Besides ..you shouldn't be zooming around in a Helicopter at your age anways sir...

Can't imagine why


Law of averages* would suggest you'll be fine from now on ...









* Actually it wouldn't, but you can concoct a plausible sounding argument the other way

Thats two i have survived now so i wont be tempting a third. SVL has put her foot down

eirebilly wrote:Thats two i have survived now so i wont be tempting a third. SVL has put her foot down

Two? I didn't realise there'd been more than one, I really can't say I blame her then. Remind me never to fly with you

Yeah had a small ditch off Aberdeen in 92, not a bad one

Mark me. Just mark me a bit.

Just put some pics up in the FB Pub.
