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.

Thanks for that. Awh look, I can go back into my old account and read all the old stuff. awww there's lovely.

Be careful with the pool tabe and by the way, the gents toilet is blocked.

Where's the new pub gonna be?

How about Leicester for Portnoy? Swan & Rushes?

Spoiler:

Only if you're going to text or call half an hour before you get there Gibbo

True. and make sure we all make the Train at the same time.

Where's the very first Pro 12 match next weekend? Is it Italy?

Dragons v Zebre, at Dave Cari. Friday at 19:00

If it goes there and I'm welcome, I'd be honoured to step in (except wasn't the 2nd/3rd pub there?).

Where did Neil Armstong use to have a bevy? The Sea of Tranquillity wasn't it?

Portnoy, you are always welcome, this pub is an open house and always will be bud.

Well I don't mind going to Newport...it's nearer work I suppose.

Ha that Grand Slam pub's hilarious.

Give me a text in whatsapp there buddy

Oh rosyh. Rookie mistake Hoog. 1 squared then.

Don't go to RP, this pub has always been anti Dragon. Particularly that berk Stag

Morning All, and are ready on the stove. Help yourselves.

For anyone who wants them.

I suppose most are having a lie in as it's a bank holiday. i bet Hoog is working the railways though. Never gets a bank holiday that lad

Spent a while reading over the posts in the original 606 pub. Some very funny comments. My very first one was ignored Nothing new then.

Oh and I didn't realise that Gibbo stole my birthday in 2009. 21st March my oirse. His is 19th.

European
by Rava (U11094679) 18 May 2010

So the HC final next year will be in the Millennium Stadium with Twickenham hosting it the year after. This will mean it will be 10 years since Toulouse played Perpignan at Landsdowne Road, the last final to be played in Ireland (2003). Do you think we can look forward to seeing the cream of European Rugby at Landsdowne Road in May 2013?

It's no wonder they called me Ravstradamus!!

Morning all,


Just been sorting out some heineken stuff over the past couple of days with Gibbo, looks like were traveling buddies this year. Also looks like I'm going to Llanelli again because of this


9 heineken games in one season though will be immense!!!

And yes indeed rava, I've just pulled out of teddington on a Kingston rounder. Two of these today, then a break and then off to lovely Reading

Morning All

Rava - it's interesting reading back some of the old predictions isn't it? There's a few accurate ones.

Indeed Cari. Also, from an Irish point of view as well, some players who have fallen off the radar completely in three years.

Yeah I noticed that Rava. A lot of Ireland's GS winning team have gone too between one thing and another...although not Declan Kidney, despite Gibbo's protests

The Cork footballers and their management team are a feicing disgrace. It's like watching Ireland. Best squad in the country and can't beat Donegal. What a joke.


Morning all.

Thom.

The problem is they were so rubbish but only lost by 2 points, if they had a decent coaching staff or didn't make insane shot choices and hit terrible wides they could have won it.


Credit to Donegal though, they were superb. Don't like their defence first 12 men behind the ball approach but it works, they counter attack superbly. Great fans too, less said about the Cork fans the better. There simply were none, not a single Cork voice around me.

That's a shame about the fans Thom. I thought Cork always had great support, what's happened? Odd for a quarter final as well.

My flatmate came home from the pub cursing them too Thom.

Morning all. Now into day 13 of this #%^*€$ cough.

Semi, Cari! Footballers don't get great support, hurlers have and always will get great support.

yeah i noticed that as I posted...

Kiwi - what medication have you tried? Hactus is pretty good but it tastes vile.

What's the cough like?

ChequeredJersey wrote:What's the cough like?

Persistent, dry, hacking. Worse at night, though sleeping propped up on pillows has helped. 1st 3 days I was coughing up plenty of green-yellow mucus, though now I'm coughing up a small amount of thick green-grey mucus 1st thing in the morning.


Actually, over the past few days I've had most of the symptoms listed:

Have you been to the doctor? If it's productive there's usually a bacterial infection and broad spectrum antibiotics will help

Youve got TB Pete just accept it

Sounds like Galloping Dog-Rot to me, Pete. Does it hurt when you poke yourself in the eye?

Saw the doc last Monday (at that point it wasn't productive), thinking I may need to go back.

Morning guys,

horrible to read the news about Joe Ansbro this morning: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/mobile/rugby-union/19389539

Can only wish him the best recovery possible.

Morning all.

That's horrible about Ansbro, dreamer. I hope he fully recovers.

Kiwi, get well mate and don't forget midweek ITM Cup tips. I'm doing hopelessly....

It is bad news about Ansbro, but according to some posters on the dedicated thread https://www.606v2.com/t34150-scotland-centre-joe-ansbro-suffers-broken-neck there doesn't appear to have been any dislocation and/or nerve damage, so there's some hope that he can fully recover.

The very best of luck to him.

Awh poor Ansboro, that's awful. Hopefully he'll make a full recovery - others have. Best of luck to him.

In other news, does anyone think this might be a hoax? I did chuckle yesterday at one news report that said residents were advised to keep their doors locked...like a lion is going round trying people's door handles...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-19388301

Anyway, there's little point in looking for Lions in England....
