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..."

Cheers PJ. I shall watch the game later on the Premiership website, just relieved that we've got off the mark at last.

The result from the ref and the TMO was that it was a knock on and a scrum to O's, when it really should have been a penalty try for us and a yellow for the O's. Not sure there's a lot of people who could argue with that.

That was definitely a penalty-try. No question.

But O's fully deserved that game Dreamer. They wanted it more. And Scarlets forgot to play the game that won them the 1st 3 in-a-row. You said they might bottle it in a derby. Well they did. That's a mindset they will have to overcome.

Having said that, I wouldn't like to be playing Scarlets next week. I'd expect a strong reaction from them.

Agreed fully, and I've not said any different

It's not so much that we forgot to play our game Gibbo, in that the O's didn't allow us the posession to do so. At 71 mins it was 9-9 and we'd missed a bag full of chances with kicks at goal. Them's the breaks.

Fascinating Kia. Im sure there is so much we don't know that goes on around us. Enjoy the short walk with Poppy. See you in 3 hours.

Watching Glaws and Wasps. 29-19. Good game. Wasps not out of this yet.

Da iawn LI, and commiserations to Bath.

I've got an absolutely banging headache. had one y'day but the rugby made me forget it, but it's back today and horrible. I never get headaches. Am hoping it goes away soon, else I won't be making it over to the bike show and concert

Freddie Burns having a great game. But misses a pen to settle it.

Ah that's lousy pal. You were so looking forward to it and all. I never get headaches either. But on the rare occasion I do, I think I'm having a brain hemorrhage. MrsG gets really bad migraine sometimes and she calls me a wimp. Says if I got the pain she gets, she reckons Id top meself. Probably would.

Hope it eases darlin. Maybe you can still get out.

ha yeah reckon I'm a big ol' wimp myself Gibbo, have a stupidly low pain threshold sometimes.

Really want to make it over, can always kip over my aunt and uncles too if I end up drinking too much see

Tis to be held in this village: http://www.cwmdu.com/

Lovely place. Proper old style pub.

Glaws should have this now. Wasps just knocked on near the Glaws line. Wasps are getting stronger. Ooooh chance for Wasps here on 80 mins.... pushing hard for the draw.

Turned over. Glaws win 29-22. Fair play to Wasps. They never let up, they will be well safe this year and may have a bash at the play-offs. Well done Glaws on their 1st win.

Oooh there's lovely. That's the kind of pub I love getting stuck in. Love old village pubs. Britain has oodles of em.

Sure get out and see will it dissipate with a few drinks, laughs and some aspirin.

Believe.

Aye Gibbo reckon I will go, the walk over will most probs clear my head anyways

Great stuff pal. Enjoy your life.

Tigers v Quins now. Ooooh. Love this Jeff game. Both unbeaten. O Shea and Cockers being interviewed. Id love to have O Shea running Ireland.

Pretty annoyed with Fox's decision to call play back when Simpson took a quick tap from a ruck penalty and 'scored'. Simpson was no more than 1m from the offence, and adjacent to it.

I have just seen Quins take a similar tap and not be called back.

Us fans just want consistency with these decisions.

Know what you mean about consistency Hound.

Hard luck to Wasps, but nice one on Ealing's win

Tiggers v Quins is full blooded. Great atmosphere at WR.

One minutes silence for The Spences at a Sunny RDS. Then SUFTUM.

Mon Leinster!

Evening All.

I switched the telly on and it's Scotland v Ireland v Wales - on One Man & His Dog sheepdog trials Haven't seen that on telly for years. I'm not watching it though - just settling down to watch the Blues game. Interview with Bread of Seven at the mo. He's another hero of mine.

The men and women of Leinster have shown their class at RDS.
Thanks

Cooney is fast becoming an excellent SH. No Boss, no Reddan. He's really stepping up.

Great start from Leinster there.

Try Sexy. Healy is awesome with the ball in his hands.

You are our Brothers. Lots of upset youngfellas at Leinster, who played with him and knew him well - for years. The older ones would have to have had a word. We all share your pain bro.

TRY Sexton! And converted.

Impeccably observed minutes silence at the CAP

I suspect the speech was good from the announcer at the AP, but the commentator was babbling all over it so I don't know what was said. Minute silence impeccably observed again though. Could hear a pin drop there. No SUFTUM though.

Treviso's no.12 is a bit tasty. Just sayin'

Cheers Cardiff peeps

Gareth Davies and Dr Gwyn Jones commentating on the Blouse


...shoot me now.

oooh Zanni, forgot he plays for Treviso

Tom James seriously has no rugby brain. Runs fast mind.

D'arcy off injured. BOD looking very sharp so far though.

Apart from the first 15 minutes Edinburgh played the better rugby. Too many errors by Leinster.

All true Rav. We look rusty still. Hoping for more fluency in the 2nd-half bud. But Edinburgh are well up for this game. Dunno why they didnt play Visser. Hes worth a try a game. Min.

right, two fingers to my headache, I'm off to listen to live music and drink lots of cider.

Have lovely evenings all

Gibbo the commentators were saying that Visser is injured.

Dreamer have a great time.

Nice to see a decent crowd at The Arms Park. Great to see rugby being played back there.

You Go Girl!

HT 17-3 at the AP.

+1 went there for Ealing's pre season friendly. I could guess what the atmosphere would be like with a full house.

Jenno was playing really well. Must be trying to preserve him. With no SOB and no Ryan, we have very few options at 7. HC is looming. Good man Joe.

MON Leinster!

Brilliant by Macken & Carr! Now that's The Leinster Way lads. MORE!

Sinbin for Yapp. This will tell.

Great passage of play by Leinster. YC for Yapp.

2 x YC's for Edi. We could rip them asunder here. Should do. Must do.

Edinburgh down to 13. Should be a pushover for Leinster.

Poor decision by Heaslip to pick up wigh the scrum going forward. Good chance they could have pushed them over or at least get a pen try.

Wot a replacement VDM is. Seamless and probably a better scrumagger than Healy. Luxury.

Mon lads! We must score in this period.

Good break by Carr leads to a try for Macken.

Yes Quins!

Also had my first rugby match in 6 months, we lost and I had to prop and I've aggravated a knee injury but good to get out on a pitch and make some hits

Get that boy Carr some caps.

He is playing for his Leinster Future here Glas. And he has really listened to the coaches. Best game ever in a Leinster shirt. Macken too. Its BOD you see. Its great to watch the Master educate the kids.

Mon Leinster! Open them up!

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaackeeeeeeen!

Macken in again. Better from Leinster.

Great response from Edinburgh. Very good forward try.
