The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Mendoza

by **Pal Joey** Mon 13 Aug 2012, 9:59 am

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.

Morning Rava

We managed to get her back from an 800 vote deficit so sure 28 shouldn't be a problem.

Morning folks, stag are you still coming up to Ravers for the Munster game on the 15th?

Looks like I might be able to get to that game now (tickets depending) and if you are around I'd love to meet you and Rava for a quick guinness

. Not sure what you guys plans are but if you fancy it then drop me a line, planning to get down anyways.

by red_stag Fri 24 Aug 2012, 9:34 am

I am indeed but I think its on the Friday night. It would be good to meet up alright.

by **rodders** Fri 24 Aug 2012, 9:37 am

Is it? Bollix. Still planning to make that one though if we can get tickets, should be a cracker. Are you up for the weekend?

by red_stag Fri 24 Aug 2012, 9:39 am

Im not sure what I'll do yet. I'll either stay up for full weekend or else stay in Dublin on Saturday night or else just head back down Limerick on Saturday.

The world is my lobster.

Morning all. Fed-up.com, I'm now into day 10 of a hacking cough, woke myself up coughing 5 times last night Sad

Adam put up a quick post on this the other day, but I'll re-ask. Does anyone fancy being involved in a rugby podcast on Wednesday night next week. Basically we'd be (for the Journal) recording a Skype conversation looking into next weekend's AP/Pro 12 matchups, plus possibly a quick roundup of what's going on in Top14/TRC/INL/Currie.

Good Morning/Evening fellow pub dwellers and lurkers. coffee

Happy Birthday Mickey T! Very Happy

Settling down to watch the penultimate round of the NRL. Not as on edge as I used to be.

There's been a betting plunge on the Canberra Raiders to beat the Bulldogs who are said to be fielding a weakened team with their 'Premiership' win already guaranteed. I don't gamble but I hate that sort of thing. Canterbury should thrash them. Manly v Brisbane kicks off in half an hour over there (8km east of laptop --->) at Brookvale. The Broncos will be trying to stop their slide out of the top 8.

Dreamer, is Bertie drinking any water? Could be dehydrated? I'm just thinking out loud.
Otherwise the vet option seems best to see what's the problem? Over the years I've nursed a bit of wildlife too.

Hopefully he'll perk up soon. Hug

Kiwi,
Canterbury leading Makos 12-11, 50th min. Tasman just scored, 16-12. Very Happy

Wellington bt Manawatu 30-11,
Auckland 36 HB 29.

by Guest Fri 24 Aug 2012, 10:18 am

Breaker- he hadn't touched his water so am thinking deffo dehydrated. My mams dropped him off with the hedgehog lady about an hr ago so fingers crossed but he really wasn't looking good Sad

Hope you feel better soon Pete Hug

by **Pal Joey** Fri 24 Aug 2012, 10:27 am

Congrats on your winning the Pro12 comp too, dreamer.

That was phenomenal! I saw quite a few of the pics - you are right in the thick of it.

Soon they'll be coming to you for your knowledgeable advice and carefully reading your rugby blogs... looking for that extra edge!

You could be famous come RWC 2015. " ... and now we cross LIVE to... " Very Happy

Cheers Breaker. C'mon Tasman!

And cheers Shiv

Ha no chance of that! They wanted to take a video of me interviewing someone to which I told them a polite hell no Wink

They appreciate your knowledge though and they will remember you.
Keep up the writing because if you ever have to face the camera it will be like reading a 'short piece' from a blog sheet. Smile

I wouldn't be up for doing it because I wouldn't be at all insightful or interesting, but i'd be well up for listening to it!

by Mickado Fri 24 Aug 2012, 10:53 am

Still fairly sore today, sneezing, yawning, hicoughing, laughing etc. all out of bounds. Which is a shame because who doesn't love a good yawn...?

Too harsh on yourself Mick.

Looks like it's me, Stag and Ozzy.

Bollix. The NZ cricket team really is pants at the moment. 35/3 after India made 438.

by Thomond Fri 24 Aug 2012, 11:00 am

Will try and help out occasionally with the podcast if you are in serious trouble Kiwi, don't have the time to devote fully to one (reason why I can't do the American Football one) but if you need a hand will try and help out.

Morning all.

Looks good. Only thing I'd query (and I'm not certain) is the spelling of "Sionie Timani" - it's spelled "Sione"

by Thomond Fri 24 Aug 2012, 12:01 pm

Feic, will change it there, I'm going to blame RD for that one........ Whistle

Evening all, Pete, Munster game isn't on tv so no streams, cameras will capture highlights for the Munster site more than likely.

Also if anyone has ever wanted to ask a question of a former NFL an Super Bowl winning running back, now is the time to do so. https://www.606v2.com/t34058-the-michael-pittman-interview

Rory, you might want to ask him some questions on weightlifting regiments, the dude is built.

Spoiler:

by Suspicious lurker Fri 24 Aug 2012, 7:00 pm

I read in the paper today that Gordon Waddell died. Former Scottish outhalf, he played 18 times between 1957 and 1962 five times as captain. Toured with the Lions in 59 and 62.

Interestingly he also became an MP for Johannesburg North from 74-77 opposing apartheid

Rest Well Gordon

Chiefs beat Glasgow? Id say he's happy. Wonder did he go?

Man, I'm so looking forward to planning all the HC games now - away to Scarlets, ASM and Chiefs. It all involves regs teams, its going to be a total blast. And the ones in Dublin.

So I'll be asking me mates Glas, Chef and As, for lodgings.

Bring it ON!

I heard about lodgers like you...
