The Corso Marauders Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Amsterdam

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 Amsterdam in honour of original publican Gibson who is finally back in gainful employment. 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 former Corso Marauder Lawrence Dallaglio or young ice hockey prize winner (thanks to the v2ers) Chris Boyd.

Spoiler:

Rodders, bonsoir mon ami Hope you had a good time in France.

Asbo did, eventually, make it to Ravenhill. Two hour delay getting in but we went on to have a grand evening.
Staggy is next up tomorrow week so I hope you have arrangements in place.

We're in good shape now! Roll on a Dan Murphy hattrick!!

That he might get, but he'd still be in minus points territory after conceding 24 points worth of scrum penalties!!!

Morning all, lazy start to the day as am taking the kids in to school - v keen to show me their new classrooms, and I may as well check out the new teachers!

Anyhew, hope everyone is well, kettle's on for &

Morning.

Bro's wedding today, so a best man gig for me. Lovely day for it. Had a few drinks last night. Was delighted to see Peacock get that gold, but even more pleased to see Pistorious not medal.

Morning all.

First full day in my own office for quite a while. Looking forward to coffee later with my youngest sister.

Have a good day at the wedding Rev. I expect we will see some class photos on FB later

How come? Oscar Pistorius is unfailingly gracious and self-effacing.

Yeah, you're right mate

Good wind up by the Argus writer

"@c_kirwan: Already in Dublin to see the table-topping Newport Gwent Dragons attempt to avoid slipping on a banana skin at lowly Leinster..."

Dragons side to face Leinster:

Dan Evans, Will Harries, Pat Leach, Andy Tuilagi, Tom Prydie, Steffan Jones; Jonathan Evans; Nathan Williams, Sam Parry, Nathan Buck, Ian Nimmo, Adam Jones, Hywel Stoddart, Jevon Groves (c), Toby Faletau

Replacements
Hugh Gustafson, Aaron Coundley, Tim Ryan, Lewis Evans, Tom Brown, Liam Davies (Bedwas), Ashley Smith, Hallam Amos.

No changes behind the scrum from last weekend. A new front row, but not a second-string one by any means (the two Nathans started plenty of matches last season). I don't think Jevon Groves has ever captained us before, though.

Pretty pleased! Game on, ladybirds!

Shouldn't laugh, but I have been listening to Radio Nacional from Buenos Aires and the sports reports previewing NZ v Pumas tomorrow. The team sheet was read out like the list of casualties from a particularly gruesome catastrophe. Don't think they are holding out much hope of an upset!

Ladybirds v Ladyboys. Ohhhh mother I can feel the tension already.

Afternoon All

Another gorgeous day in the Diff. Been to the hairdressers so I'm looking sheckshy Won't last, mind...

Saddened to hear about another childhood icon of mine - Terry Nutkins has died. I always envied him having a seal in his bath at home. He was a great wildlife presenter for kids though.

Got the latest edition of Rugby World today. It's come with the annual domestic league booklet and the usual predictions. Some interesting ones there. Gwyn J. reckons Leinster will be P-12 Champs with the O's as losing finalists followed by Ulster. Stuart Barnes reckons London Welsh will get relegated from the Aviva too.

Cari, I'm sure Stuart Barnes is probably correct about London Welsh but it isn't the biggest gamble if you were a betting person.

TV GUIDE in usual place

CARI - you have a PM

...... (Blydi work !!)

Cheers P.!

Any see that Freddie Flintoff hopes to get his Boxing Licence, with a heavyweight bout planned for November in Manchester.

Read a bit about it yesterday rava, not sure what to make of it! Interested to see how he goes though (which has nothing to do with the fact I used to fancy the pants off him )

Dreamer, he's 34 and has a catalogue of underlying injuries. I think it's a dangerous road to be travelling on without a background in the sport.

Are there any sportsmen you don't/haven't fancied?

I'm sure I could compile a list if I had to.....

Know what you mean about Flintoff though, his knee especially, just don't know how his body will hold up at a pro level anymore.

"I'm sure I could compile a list if I had to....."

We'll start with Leo Cullen and Andy Caddick.



Evening pub. Absolutely corking weather here.

People tell me I look like Freddie

Absolutely cracking evening isn't hound, would love to be in a beer garden somewhere, I am however going around the Hounslow loop for the third time today, man I'm telling you its like purgatory

I bet it is hoog. Beer gardens everywhere will be chocka this evening.

Chocka full of ladies is summer dresses hound. And we all know that they are the best type of dresses

You should be in my local. Full of teachers in 'sensible shoes'.



Now, The Warrington tonight would be epic!!


Wag, wag.

Evening All

Beautiful evening for the match at the Aaaarms Paark innit. Just waiting for Scrum V to start. They just showed the World Professional Cliff Diving competition which is happening at The Blue Lagoon in Pembrokeshire on the local news. Beautiful part of the world, but the competitors must have balls of steel to dive off the cliffs there.

I said it before, during and after the Euros. Trappatoni is a disaster for the Irish team and should go. Liam Brady spoofing for RTE, worked under Trap like. He knows what football/good play is. Blinded by bias.

Trust a Cork City player to change the game. Super Kevin Doyle came up trumps as Ireland won luckily.

Apologies for that, how are we all? Connacht leading 12-23, Zebre have two tries with conversion to come.

Hi Thom, Edinburgh leading the Blues 0 - 3 so far. Edinburgh have had all the possession pretty much so far, but haven't been able to get anything out of it bar an inconclusive try.

As I mentioned it earlier, here's some pics from the diving:
