The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Mendoza

First topic message reminder :

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.

The Ospreys? - http://www.thegalacticos.be/thegalacticos/img/gal_ban.jpg

STAG - Galacticos ? That's so last season - feic off

If we have enemies, it's probably the Blues (due to their proximity) or the Ospreys (due to their nonciness).

Luckless Pedestrian wrote:Have you played them before, Prop?

Yeah couple of times and not lost to them. Had one hell of a fight with them when with Lydney!!

You've got a record to maintain then, Prop!



Just a reminder: I've set up a Dew Drop mini league for the Barclays Fantasy Premier League. PM me if you want the code.

Then it's hair, nails and makeup

For Mrs. R of course. Men at weddings must not outshine their partners, so its normal grey suit for me.

Has it got a bit which hasn't faded as much under the sash and in the bowler's shade?

I knows what you mean. I reckon we come up with a code title so we can discuss Irish rugby without the plebs figuring out whats happening.

We still on for 25/08 - Cardiff RFC v Ealing ??

Sorry Penfro, I've been busy.

Yup, we are still on + Cari maybe. Our train arrives at Caerdydd Canalog just before noon. I'll text you on the day to say we are on our way.

Yep I do! Plus it's my first game as skipper so I want to go on holiday with a 100% winning record!!

Ecuador have just granted Assange asylum.

It will be interesting to see if Britain carry out their threat of storming the embassy now.

It will set a very dangerous precident if they do I think and I'm pretty shocked and disgusted that they've even suggested it.

what would you do?

Tough either way.

Quite frankly the guy's "Sweden will extradite me to the US" claim is Love sacks. If only because it's easier to extradite someone from Britain to the US than from Sweden.

Love sacks indeed. Which is apt...

Presumably the woman I spoke to last week who said they would print out a ticket and post it to me was a cleaner who answered the phone and decided to spin me a yarn.

I did tell you yesterday. Standard practise for us sadly. At least you're in Newport

Correct, he can get bent.

Yes, I have moaned about it once or twice

I'll be sunning myself in Penrhyn Bay, I'm afraid!

You've gotta love an optimist!

There's going to be a heatwave up there next weekend, Glas. I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes.

That reminds me of a song: 'Hey Stoopid' by Alice Cooper.

Myself and Mr Holybloke are meeting up with Cari on Saturday after he & I get back from O's v Barf

Ah, that will be a blast. Where is his holiness PJ, on hols?

Sorry lucky

Shame you can't make it, but enjoy your break.

I'm sure I will, Hound. My mum lives up there and I don't see her that often these days.

It's pretty quiet in here tonight.

Right now, my posting is limited by the fact I'm coming into the final month of my MA and am very busy with work. But I just wanted to say I think on the wall of the next pub we should have a picture of Nottingham RFC player Mitchell Todd who was killed in a car crash recently.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-19289370

Just because it's a sad loss for, Nottingham RFC, Scottish Rugby and most significantly of course his family and friends. And I was sad to read about it.

Evening pub, just finished work for the day.

One more sleep and I'm off to see Penfro Emperor of Sarries for the weekend, and of course Bath vs the O's and all being well Cari in the 'Diff!

This weekend is going to be seriously plush, in an upmarket deluxe velor kind of way. Niiiiiiiiiice.

Oh, and I second that Notch, good call - now get back to work on that Masters you slack barsteward.

Right now I'm in bed with some jazz playing... you get to a point where you make yourself counter-productive trying to power through! It's a marathon not a sprint. It's just when I do get home,I don't have the energy for all the usual to-ing and fro-ing of online rugby debates. But I am lurking in here from time to time and glad to see all the usual suspects are doing well.

Have fun with Cari- she's a beautiful person. And Penfro is just the nicest rugby bloke. Should be a good weekend.

Good to hear all the good vibes coming from the regs. Have a good time, all of you guys - especially Prop. Go for it, my friend!

Notch - there's a thread on Mitch Todd on the rollingmaul forum. That's a forum for fans of teams below the English Premiership. I was having a look through there and then popped back in here before turning in for the night, and saw your post.

I feel for his family and friends and fellow players at Nottingham RFC and the SRU. No news about how the tragic accident happened.

G'night folks.

Good shout on a photo for Mitch Todd, Notch

Balls to the Ospreys v Bath game lads. Get yourselves to Risca for possibles v probables. That's where it's at.

Can't wait to get to RP again tomorrow. Two decent enough teams out from us and Iris

Question for the Leinster regs, is Foster Horan any good?

I think he was one of yours and we appear to have signed him.

Good balanced runner and good defender but he needs to work on his skills.

Lost 27-17, covered in stud marks and lost my voice but a great effort vs a side above us in leagues! Some guys for us had never played rugby before!!ast day at work tomorrow then: glos vs blues followed by a short flight to FLORIDA!!!!

Love you.

Have the best time ever mo chara. You deserve it. Well tricky

Have a great time in the US prop.

Quiet on here during the day so I'm going to de-lurk until later.

Going to see Glaws then off to Florida instead of meeting PJ in the 'Diff?!

Sheesh prop, your loss I guess.

Safe journey big lad.

Not going to see that blydi mouse are you prop? They even have mobile phone masts in the shape of its head. Blydi yanks!

If you can try to get to St Augustine

Bore da pawb / good morning all, thank Crunchie it's Friday!

The forecast is for rain all day. It's crossed my mind that they might have to call off the London Irish match if the pitch is waterlogged, so fingers crossed that doesn't happen.

Maybe I'll have to put my finger in a dyke. Plenty of them in Newport.

"Maybe I'll have to put my finger in a dyke. Plenty of them in Newport."

The 'Port at risk of flooding lucky?

Maybe I'll have to put my finger in a dyke. Plenty of them in Newport.

That's such a chauvinist comment, typical of the paternalistic hegemony...yadda, yadda, yadda...

Up yours, Germaine!

I heard she takes what she gives.

Speaking of Australians, I think 'Sun Arise' by Rolf Harris is a great song. I might put it on the jukebox later.

Or I'll just put it on now:

https://youtu.be/lwtnBm8glPE

Yeah, like you're going to see plenty of it (sun) today.

Ah well, it's still a cracking little song!

The Dragons XV to face London Irish this evening:

Daniel Evans, Matthew Pewtner, Adam Hughes, Pat Leach, Tom Prydie, Steffan Jones, Wayne Evans, Phil Price, Steve Jones, Nathan Buck, Ian Nimmo, Andrew Coombes, Dan Lydiate, Darren Waters, Toby Faletau

Replacements:

Sam Parry, Nathan Williams, Dan Way, Jevon Groves, Tom Brown, Jonathan Evans, Lewis Robling, Jack Dixon, Hugh Gustafson, Aaron Coundley, Tim Ryan, Hywel Stoddart, Ieuan Jones, Mike Poole, Andy Tuilagi, Ross Wardle.

Looking forward to seeing Dan Evans, Tom Prydie and Ian Nimmo in Dragons colours (well, colour) for the first time, and our pack looks pretty strong. Hopefully Jack Dixon gets some game time off the bench, he's a real talent.

Didn't realise we have signed Tom Prydie.
