The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Sea of Tranquility, Luna

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 the Moon, in honour of the late Neil Armstrong. One small step for man ...

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Lance Armstrong in yellow, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin moonwalking, or the shot of Joe Ansbro breaking the line.

I'm not going to talk to you any more, Penfro.

What was it ? The food comparison or the predicted 10th place ?

Don't shoot the messenger

I'll shoot who I like!

Can't wait till later. I think I'll book for the Wild West trip tonight too Lucky

I presume you know the bloke who arranges the away trips, Rev - all I have is his name and number. It would be just my luck if I get ripped off by an impostor!

Yep. I stand by him too.

Wheres the best place to go for a pint before/after a Dragons match.

Depends who's asking. Somebody ok I'd say the clubhouse or The Dodger just round the corner. Somebody like you, I'd send you somewhere really spit and sawdust, where you'd get a proper towny welcome

Hi folks;

I was just having a look at the match previews on the Rabo website -it’s pretty good actually. Obviously we don’t get much written about the Rabo in the sports pages of the Anglo-centric newspapers here.*



* There was an article on the commencement of the league tonight including an interview with the captain of the champions (i.e. AWJ) in today's DT, so fair play to them.

Have two spare tickets to the London Double Header tomorrow if anyone fancies them just send me a PM - upper tier, behind the posts in the Wasps end.

I need to know the Valley Commando secret handhshake to get Some Aggressive Support from the non-townies.

The Murenger's quite good after a match, I've found myself there a few times. (Completely against my will, of course).

Cardiff? Tee hee!

Just sitting in Exe airport, flight slightly delayed but should just about make it to Ravenhill on time!

Damn it, beat me to it!

You can still have a in your face though

Flip busy Stag, haven't got time to

Hello my lovely pub dwellers. Just arrived back in beautiful Liverpool and about to head to the even more beautiful Chester.

Had a bit of a poignant moment today, it was the last time I was home when Joy, our old childminder would be working there. She has been there nearly since we arrived 16 years ago. She's 72 now and we haven't really needed her for quite a while but we've kept her on until my sister left school as she is incredibly fond of her, well we all are. She is an incredible woman who has a very tough life at home but she always brings a smile to your face and forever puts others ahead of herself.

Anyway, I'll raise a glass to her

Nice Munsty

Asbos flight is one and a half hours delayed so I will have 30mins to get him through security and over to Ravenhill. Think well just about make KO

Lovely stuff Munsty. That's the kind of thing that makes life so much sweeter. Also the fact that you were reared to appreciate it.

The PRO12 kicks off vanavond. Normality has returned. Woooohoooo!

And eh T, mate, bestest bud an all, could you send me all those links again pal? I cleaned out my message box and deleted them. Will load them into a permanent file this time.

Have a great night lads. Are Notch, Rodders, Mrsp, et al, involved?

I can just see ye 2, at 3 in de mornin - sloshed-singing. Grand.

Stuck in Llandeilo. My mams car has broken down somewhere and my sis still hasn't picked me up

Hope asbo and rava make it to the game okay.

Munsty:

MrsP is in Manchester to the best of my knowledge. Actually, does anyone have her number?

HAPPY RUGBY NIGHT EVERYONE!!!!

UP THE OSPREYS!!!

Gibbo you have a PM,, you can save it to your inbox on here which is probably easier or just add the sites to favourites. Hope we are all well, feck this Rabo lark City are playing.

Suftum

Willy, can you post score updates here please? I'm watching the champions...

got home by half 6, had our traditional Friday night meal and now watching rugby. Happy happy.

Good girl Dreamer!

There's some thunder and lightning over the stadium in Italy. Hope that doesn't affect the lads at all. Trev with a penalty kick.

3 - 0.

Pfffft

I see Glasgow are going no sponsors. Interesting.

Blydi hell. Ianto in the bin already! Start as you mean to go on...

6 - 0.

Cari - banned Morg so the match thread should be safe to post on now, removed one of your comments too just to clear it all up


ha Ianto! Wonder what money you could have got for that as 1st player to get yellow carded this season....

Wowzers the highly attractive Laura Robson has won against her US open opponent Na what an awesome result.

Paddy J picked up a knock. Noc with a penalty 3-0 ulster

Dear oh dear oh dear...O's are NOT starting well. Their discipline is shocking.

Thanks Dreamer. I didn't mind staying off it. They get bored playing with themselves soon enough.

9 - 0.

Brilliant isn't it Willy, it was amazing when she beat Clijsters Weds night too.

First British woman through to the last 16 for 21 years at the US Open, pretty impressive!

Dragons 20-0 up after 20. Tries from Tuilagi and Harries. Tuilagi's run in was funny as he has no gas. Pen by Prydie and DG by Steffan. We are doing ok.

Buzzing

Awh NOC can't wait to see him next weekend

Ah wow fair play Rev, ace start that.

I am so jealous of people's who's teams are playing already!

That's a very good start for the Dragons Risca. Wonder what my work colleague makes of it. Sounds a bit too one-sided for a neutral, but I think she'll be moaning about it anyway.

Dreamer she's up against the defending champion in the next round, but the form she's in you wouldn't want to bet against her. I was keeping half an eye on the match and when she lost the second set tie break I thought she'd crumble.

27-3 now. Try Dan Evans. Really are playing well. So aggressive in defence.

Mon Ulster won't see it so CCFC olé, olé olé is more apt for where I am headed!

Zebre doing ok. Plus our tries are counters generally.

Evening Pub goers

Oh Blimey, well, she's already beaten two really tough opponents, why not a 3rd? amazing tournament from her regardless. The confidence she's got since winning a Silver at the Olympics seems to have really helped her.

Ha Thomond, Olé Olé Olé is the Ospreys song! Didn't know you cared!

Sir Billiam of Eireshire! How goes it?

Billy! Evening

Treviso forwards looking v good.

It's everyone's chant Cari, we have been using it before the Ospreys 10 minutes to KO. Mon City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bilbo you're not a dumb clog like Gibbo and don't havbe the links are you? Hard to send from the phone.

I love you T. In a manly way.

Mon Cawrk City!

Ian Evans off on a red card now. What a plonker.
