The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, The Patch

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 Patch - a tiny rugby union* community nestled in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne in the week before the AFL Grand Final.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Willie Falloon, Joel Conlon, Peter Murchie, Lewis Jetta, Lance "Buddy" Franklin and Frazier Climo.

* "Tell him he's dreaming..."

Need some Madigan Magic here. Edinburgh not backing down. Commendable.

We made that very hard work. Specially when they were down to 13. Rusty.

Also think Joe took a few chances taking so many key players off. He's thinking HC and the Irish Internationals PRO12 time. Just about paid off. Its a hard one to juggle with and still win.

Really happy with Carr especially & Macken. Our Glas(not hour-glass) has an eye for a player. He may make it yet.

For Glas.

Impeccable observance of the minutes silence at Thomond Park. Couldn't help but think that most of the Munster players would have been talking to Nevin Spence just last Friday.

Watch Munster show what Munster really are about here. Expect a huge rendition of SUFTUM.

Hauld on a cotton pickin... Horan, Stringer & O Gara playing for Munster? Have I been asleep for 10 years or wot?

Still. TRY Munster.

Munster are on fire. Two great scores and a 14 point lead after 14 minutes

Really can't handle watching them trying to play sexshy rugby. Doesn't look right somehow.

Evening pub .

Has Ozzy been in bouncing around yet? I'm trying to avoid him after the latest installment of the soap that is known as "Bath are Bollix".

I'm going to have a quiet pint of in the corner, don't mind me.

PM FOR RAVA!


PS - don't bother till half-time bud.

Evenin PJ. I'll be in for a chat in de Snug later pet.

Make room for me as well. Last of the Summer Wine

Got that PJ. Looks brilliant man. You are one talented guy.

Cheers mate. Have a on me.

34-18 FT

They allow pitch invasions at the end of the match at the AP. Will have to say heeeellooooo to Tommy if he plays next week!

Last of the Summer Wine eh Rav?

Plenty of room in the snug, just me, my and a face like a slapped orse.

Enjoy the game fellas.

Hey Cari.

Allriii Peej, woss occurrin'?

You do make me smile Cari. I'm hitting the Moscow Mules with a vengeance on account of the fact that I ain't got to get up in the morning for work, no other reason required.

How bout you? Happier after last night no doubt?

Had to Google Moscow Mules. Love it. Big vodka man meself. Vodka and I go back. I tend to avoid it these days. Loving the Rum.

I nailed my colours to Dragons at the start of this season. They need to show character here.

Mon Dragons! Pen kick converted by Robling. 14-6.

Credwch.

Too right Peej - yeah, it was a dirty night but much needed....like a lot of things, eh?

Ooooooh yeah.

London Scottish 37-26 Doncaster.

Congrats As.


A win for Leinster, so Gibbo's happy + a few others.

We were lucky in the end Hound. In all fairness. Edinburgh will be a threat on all fronts this season. Bradley is doing a fine job.

Wow Munster scored 3 or 4 try of the season contenders tonight. Some sensational attacking play from them. Zebo, Keatley and Earls were electric and dare I say it ROG was ok too........

.....and yes I have been drinking .

Stand up for the Ulstermen ringing round the odessey. Fantastic performance from Carl Frampton so far

Take a bow Carl Frampton that was stunning .

Cardiff SARACENS 48 Whiteheads 10

Div 6 SE - Cardiff Saracens have woken up

Keep going and you may reach grass roots level.

Hi all. Simplg amazed at the style of rugby we.are.playing loving it. Next three matches are the test. All away againsg Ospreys Leinster and.Raving Metro.

Morning all, great win yesterday for the Sarries and we still have alot more to give!

Rev was right about their LH though, I'm in bits

Was at Stade Mayol for Toulon v Castres yesterday. What a place and what an atmosphere. Probably the best I've experienced in sport. Toulon look a fine side and if Laporte gets more discipline from the forwards I really fancy them for the HC as well as the French championship.

Man of the Match: Stefan Armitage (everywhere)

Bore da pawb! Hope everyone's well?

I had a lovely night, there was an amazing ska band playing and I ended up kipping over my aunt and uncles. Had an ace morning playing with their crazy crazy dog (I really really miss not having one at home), and now about to head off to Sospan in Llanelli for a family meal for my Grandad's birthday. Proper tidy place it is

Have lovely days all

Morning All

Dreamer - have a good day with the family.

Prop & Penfro - congrats to the Sarries. Onwards and upwards...

It definitely feels like autumn today. It's grey, wet and windy out and I've put the heating on now. Good excuse to stay in and rest I suppose. I'm going to watch the All Ireland Football Final later online. Might watch Russell Howards' Right Here Right Now stand up show again as well on the iPlayer. I watched it last night and I was crying laughing. Highly recommend it if you want a good laugh.

Just put that on Cari best be good!! My plans: cook breakfast baguette....go get TRP, buy a bike and then chill!!

Morning all,

seanmichaels, those games have an electric atmosphere with plenty of flag waving... constantly, don't they? Love it. Who won? Toulon?

Sounds like a great night out dreamer. A ska band? What luck! It's happy music but I can only take a few hours of it.

Cari, is that All Ireland Final the real thing or a replay? I'm watching NZ v Pak in the T20 match. England - India on later. (too late for me; starts midnight) Lots of rain there yesterday. Crazy monsoonal rain too. I've never seen covers cover the whole outfield.

I had a busy morning putting all the dead hedge? I cut off last weekend into the big green bins. It had completely dried out like hay... but was bloody scratchy stuff. It made a really nice crunchy sound when you stamped down on it. Like munching cereal. Load off my mind.

Also washed the car. The water evaporated as soon as the sponge left the surface. But the air wasn't too hot at all. It's going to be a dry and hot summer. Like the old days.

Ska music is the best kind of music!!

Yep. Behind your seat you get a program a bit like a tabloid paper here. When Toulon got the bonus point try 16,000 papers took to the air and it was some sight. Bit of a fire hazard given 10,000 Frenchman had a Gaulioses on at the time. 33 -12 to Toulon.

Awh Prop you'll love it when he's on about people from the West Country (in a good way - he's from Bristol, and he loves talking about them).

Breaker - no, it's the live one between Mayo v Donegal. Throw in's at 3:30pm our time. It was the hurling that went to a replay next weekend. The Dubs are in the minors final, so I'm hoping I get to see that too.

Oh great. I'll keep an eye out for it then. It'd be on the the link Gibbo sent me a while ago.

Pakistan 47/1. Nazir 25, c & b Southee.

Morning all and welcome seanmichaels - yeah, the atmosphere in the french grounds is brilliant. Love the Euro trips to France (and Italy).

Right, I'm off to do all the usual domestic stuff and then out to get my TRP. Then it's a leisurely afternoon in the pub.

To be fair Cari.....that was awesome

Are the ulster regs going to be attending the memorial service today at Ravenhill?

prop_lyd wrote:To be fair Cari.....that was awesome

It was wasn't it. Alot of what was on his Joy List makes me laugh as well and it's so true - like, no matter what age you are, when you pick up a tennis racket it's a guitar first.

GAA Football final (minors) on now. Dubs v Meath. Up The Dubs!!

Rory - as far as I know Rava and Scotty were definitely going.

Thanks Cari!

Afternoon all.

Rory,

MrP and P2 are going too. P5 has Chicken-Pox so I can't go with them unfortunately. Are you heading down?

Unfortunately I'm not making the Memorial Service. I will be there in spirit.

Mother of Jasus its a miserable day in London. Hope its not this bad in Devon, asbos Doris is doing her triathalon today. Not nice weather for it today

Strong winds and heavy rain forecast for Devon. Ouch

Afternoon all, haven't been on this week, an interesting time. I read that Soctty is to havbe a procedure, stay strong my good man and you will come through it, the little fella will be by your side!



Parents are back from a week away first time they have gotten away from the family by themselves in ten years but unfortunately my sister had a seizure earlier on today as thery were flying. She is in good care with qualified carers but I hope they don't feel too bad about it.

Thomond - that's a shame about your sister. It's just bad luck it happened when it did. I'm sure she's got great care being taken of her though.

Meanwhile, the Dubs are about to become All Ireland Minor Football champs!!

Absolutely Cari just one of those things that happens, no one is at fault like.

Congrats to the Dubs haven't been watching it to be honest, mightn't get to see the big one, probably wouldn't be too bothered about to be honest.

Sorry to hear that about your sister T, hope she's okay


Had a wonderful time at Sospan, just a really nice day out. And a bonus is that I've gotten home in time to catch the last half hour of the cycling! Excellent day so far

Nice one to As on the Chiefs' win, sounded like a tough one!
