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.

No, Jackson was first choice for the U20 in last seasons 6N. He would also have been if he had gone to the Junior WC. Hanrahan is very good but so too is Jackson. I think a lot of people only remember Jackson for three performances in the latter stages of the HC last year.

"Hoi PJ, lend me that larger sized keepnet, got a whopper here...!"

I will apply double standards if and when I like.

Far as I am concerned JJ's last match was when he was ripping it up in the U20 RWC and Jacksons was during his struggles in the European Cup knockouts.

P.S - we are not going to take different of quality into account either.

Europe up in 3 and AS in the other

He usually does when he has to play in a team, then comes right for the singles.

In golf and life ...

Not liking yer man Keegan Bradley. Too feicin cocky.

Evening All

Hope everyone's well and good. I've had a tidy day at work...off to see Tommy soon. I'm uber excited. They covered the match on the BBC Wales news. I hope there's a good size crowd in the Park for this one.

Danny Lydiate has limped off after one minute. Frak. Bad news for us and Wales.

He's not good either :-(

Nick Williams is the Irish, provincial, buy of the season. He's been immense so far this season. Well done Ulster. Ye struck Gold in him.

Evening all

So much choice of sport to watch tonight. Ulster looking good at the Blues so far. Think I am going to switch between the Ryder Cup and the Super League semi final between Wigan and Leeds Rhinos.

Hope everyone is well this evening.

Eeeevening all.

Just taking a break from mine and my sisters mission to get another dog. Think we may have worn our parents down and there are Golden Retriever pups for sale just 7 miles away!! Just need to sort out the lunch time care for it and we're a-okay to go!

Really enjoying the Blues v Ulster game, Ulster looking really really good. Some huge hits going in. Not sure how Blues are going to cope now without a recognised 10 playing though, got to feel for Tovey picking up an injury, he was looking good too.

Any more news on Lydiate? Not good he's hurt

And Zebre are winning away to Glasgow 13-0 right now! about 15 mins gone. (although as I type I think Glasgow have just scored a try)

Glasgow need to liven up dreamer, I think I picked them by about 20 on Superbru!!!

It's been really encouraging after a shaky start. Hope we can bring home the points- for Nevin.

Michael Allen is the latest Ulster centre to get injured, we're down to bare bones.

G'wan Zebre!

Glasgow have scored a try and a Zebre player in the bin now.

Glasgow made 13 changes for this, so first half bound to be a bit shaky for 'em I reckon.

Ulster are v impressive tonight Notch. Excellent in the set piece.

Sean Holley's analysis makes me doubt whether modern rugby is the game I grew up with. #itsnotsoccer #itsnotrugbyleague #itsnotnfl

oh dear Zebre down to 13 now, another player in the bin.

If Glasgow can't put some points on them whilst their down to 13 they don't deserve to win.

16-7 to Zebre, 31 mins gone.

I said in my match preview glasgow might have made too many changes for this. They are going to need a superb 2nd half if they are going to take the 5 points from this which they really should to be honest.

lush try there from Ulster.

BANG!

That's the sound of Cari exploding. Bowe is back for Ulster!

This is three tries we're one now, hope we can nick that all-important fourth...

Ooh, Paddy, my goodness?!

aha Glasgow score through DTH! Great for them just before half time!

I tipped the Blues for this on Superbru, as I wasn't sure how Ulster would show up, but they have really fronted up here tonight.

Cari probably just had an organism at the game. He's baaaaaaaaack!

Evening pub, swift and I'm off, totally tatered.

Good luck to all the regs with teams in action tonight.

Two things that are really, really going to grate on my nerves for the next two days are... "U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A." and "Get in the hole!".

Muppets.

JARED PAYNE! That was classy!

I don't think even the biggest Ulster fans would have predicted this tonight. Fair play, they have really come out firing. SUFTUM

v good try, stupid flick by Warbs to try mind, gifted possession away.

BP for Ulster, and fully deserved.

ooooo blimey MORRISON! just scored for Glasgow, right before HT.

They needed that, 5 points from this match should be coming for them then, but they had one hell of a fight for the first 30. Be interesting if they can build on this in the 2nd half and rack up a big score.

Just got a text. All the guys around her think she's mad. Sound.

Ulster are really rocking here, Blues no mugs. Ulster just a very strong unit. And it is growing in strength. The PRO12 Title is well within them this year. I fully expect them in the HC knockouts too.

Bowe 2nd TRY!

Ulster look a real force here.

Amazed by this Ulster performance, couldn't predict how they would play tonight, but such a committed and well frankly excellent display from them, doing Ulster proud.

Ulster are playing some lovely stuff now. This is a very big performance given the circumstances. We all needed something to smile about. I think Nevin Spence would be proud.

TRY Connacht! 14-6 in Galway.

Why do these feicers always give us the hardest time?

Try Blues! Nice one Harry Robinson!

Also Steffan Jones for Wales! Finally a 10 that can DG's

Gibbo - Connacht give everyone a tough game. Always

(and not sure if you saw in the book of face pub, but tickets have been purchased for the Heino match of ours )

Quinny: "Dan Parks is looking like a Superstar out in de Wesht." Love it.

Madigan trying to make amends here. He will.

Payne's try for Ulster

Sean Holley:

"It was the wrong option, there was a defensive overlap, he should have passed inside to a forward to set it up, go through the phases, be patient, cross the gain line, suck defenders in, look for mismatches and eventually there might be space out wide if they could force Ulster into adefensive mistake..."

It's like masturbation without ejaculation.

Connacht robbed of a 3rd try. This is unreal.

Dreamer, they try hard v everyone, but against us, it goes up a level. This is great stuff. I love Connacht. I love Leinster. This needs a draw.

Madigan in de bin for giving guff to the ref.

OOOh shiiiit! Kearney limping off in his 1st game back. Doesn't look good. Bollix!

Ah you'll always get that in the inter-pro's I guess Gibbo. And don't hate me but I'd love to see Connacht win this one. More competitive league = I love it.

Excellent.

19-19 in Glasgow v Zebre now early in the 2nd half. Atrocious weather up there by all accounts.

TRY! Connacht knockin de shoite out of us in Galway. Thing is, as per usual, I get a great S&M kick out if it. Just love them slaying the big boys. Even us.

I know. I need remedial help

19-6.

Get in, Irish 5-0 up away at Worcester after 14 minutes (kick off was delayed for half an hour due to a crash on the motorway delaying both teams)
