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.

1sts got a bye in the cup so I'm off with the 2nds so should be fun!!

Good luck to all teams/posters playing today!! Apart from london welsh

It's a nasty place frequented by those who are exponents of the dark arts!

But in the winter it's the warmest place on the pitch!!

True Prop.

I'm going to watch Ballymoney 2's in action today. A couple of these as well.

Afternoon all. Back from the brain op, I wouldn't recommend it, it hurts like nothing I've ever felt, still is for that matter but I have a wonderful zipper-head now, a fine scar indeed

Ah it's nice to know people are thinking of ya when you're going through a tough time. The 606 community lets nobody down.
Hope you are all well too and loving the new rugby season, I know I am.

Poor start from Europe.

Down in all four games at the minute

Welcome back, butty. I was so glad to read the op went all right. I did ask last Monday if anyone knew how you were doing. Now you remember what rugby is?

Good man Scotty, glad to hear things went well, get yourself up and about soon mate, no complaints its not like you had brain surgery or anything

Anyone who missedb what the Ulster lads did last night, may appreciate this.

Very proud of the lads.

There's hordes of Ealing fans inside and outside the Triple Crown.

And great to hear the op went ok scotty.

Just popped in to say Welcome Back Scotty. Its great news bud. There was concern running throughout the Pub tbh. Brilliant news man. Just tell young Christian to go easy on ya in the tackle for a bit yeah? X.

Off down to Den Haag for an all-nighter with some Saffer mates. Man do they know how to party. Last time I ended up in the jacuzzi, singin Molly Malone, makin love to a bottle of whiskey, at 4 in de mornin.

May pace myself a bit better and take daul gear off 1st this time. Have a great day folks.

Good to see you Scotty- glad it's all working out

Sounds good Scotty, fingers crossed for you.



I am bate. Leinster got their backsides handed to them yesterday, no way around it. Why does it always happen around the time of their game v Munster though. Can ye not let us do it once like? Stop being selfish feciers like. Tidy win for Ulster too.

Cheers again everyone, it's a relief to have come out pretty much unscathed and still the same person so far. Time will tell.
I was in for the op at 11:30am and it was meant to take 2 hours, when at 6pm my family had heard nothing you can imagine what they thought but all that went wrong was the neurosurgeon collapsed half way through the proceedure and they had to call another one in to finish the job
Maybe he just had never seen a more complete and wonderful brain, or such a tiny one?
Gibbo Christian keeps poking my scar which runs right up the back of my head, it hurts and he thinks it's very funny. Little devil he is.

Oh and if I HAD forgotten what rugby was the Ulster lads reminded me about it last night in one hell of a fashion.

I will just add that if anyone ever offers you brain surgery just say no. It hurts, it hurts so bad that even morphine didn't work so stay away from the brain surgeons folks. Oh and I did set a bit of a record by being on my feet and going for a shower the morning after surgery which made em all shake their heads in wonder. You're supposed to be immobile for up to a week

I know, I boast too much

Notch how did it feel to complete the masters? Relieved a bit eh?

blimey Scotty - that's incredible!

Clive - cheers for the link

Just spent an hour shifting wood and shovelling mounds of sawdust. Think I might hurt a bit on the morrow.

Scotty, delighted to hear that you are firmly on the road to full recovery

Afternoon all from Rugby Corner at the Wheat Sheaf. SA looking good vs Aus so far

NB. THESE TWO FACTS MAY WELL BE RELATED!!!!!!!

Low pressure headache is a nasty one!

It feels good Pete- it feels a wee bit strange. I'm just looking for a McJob now. Not a graduate job. I need to get some casual work, bar, waitering, whatever. Because I'm going to go travel after Christmas then apply for a PhD.

Don't tie me down...

We're all glad you're doing well mate

FT Richmond 27 - 27 Ealing. Excellent game, and the boys in green did well to come back from 27-10 down after conceding 4 tries when we had 1 and then 2 guys in the bin.

SA v Aus on in the clubhouse. 14-3 to Biltong's boys at ht.

Scotty - consider yourself told by Dr MrsP! Take it easy, there's no rush. Take full advantage of slobbing about for a while

Just settling down for the O's match....they'll show last night highlights first. I've seen Tommy's tries (thanks to Notch's links), but it's interesting to see things from the TV angle.

I'm a bit nervous about this O's match...I'm expecting a lot of penalties possibly a card or two...

Conor O'Shea on RTE says Dan Biggar is the best No. 10 in Wales. George Hook said before the game Biggar should be Wales' No. 10

Rava - I think his immaturity has let him down in the past though. Maybe he'll be considered for the Autumn Internationals. He's a very good kicker, but a bit of orse.

Dirksen is a man sausage.

Ospreys looking good. 13-0 after 22 minutes. Munster haven't really got started. Murray off with a head injury.

Fenby with two tries, 17 - 5, 2nd half just underway

(Priestland with two touchline conversions AND a drop goal! )

and a penalty! oooh Rhys, you've found your boots now, don't you dare lose them again.....

HT in Swansea 13 - 6. Fotuali gave a stupid penalty there. Faffing around instead of getting the ball out. As expected, there's been penalties galore so far though and a bit if handbags.

Treviso 12 - 20 Scarlets

Our scrum is utter poop.

If Linebreaker pops in, I've just read that the Dubs are losing one it's finest youngsters to the AFL. Ciarán Kilkenny is off to Melbourne to play professional football with Hawthorn. Lucky him, but a bummmer for the Dubs.

I saw something about that today Cari. (just popped in)
14-12 St Helens. Try J. Monaghan, so 18-14 to Warrington now.

Are my eyes and ears deceiving me??

A crowd AND an atmosphere in The Liberty??

Wow i am impressed

another charge down try for Treviso! merde!

we've been defending so well too, that's just cheap points

19-20 with 15 mins to go.

2 charge down tries mun, ffs, ridiculous.

Munster Ospreys a gripping match shocker!

Score Glas?

23 - 9 Linebreaker.

Our front rowers playing a stormer again. We'd be bhuggered without them.

Make that 23 - 12. Beck penalised for tackling off the ball for a second time.

Gog in the bin, a punch apparently when he was trying to break free from the Treviso Maul. We'd been warned though, so a card was coming.

9 mins down to 14, 1 point in it, stress is not the word!!!

Before Penfro has a word.

Ta Cari.

Warrington ahead 34-14 now after a dubious 'obstruction' try was allowed.

Fussell! In and out, in and blydi out!

pen on halfway to Treviso, going for goal.........aaaargh he gets it! 2 mins to go, 22-20 can not believe this! So typically Scarlet.... (so yes I can believe it...)

oh urine, actually that was the 80 minutes, Treviso gather re-start and clear and win.

Credit to them, they fought back brilliantly 2nd half, can't believe the two charge downs though, we threw that one a bit. Balls.

What? How did Scarlets throw that away?! I saw the HT score and expected them to push on for the BP.

Looks like Ulster will finish the weekend top of the league with a game in hand

Who got charged down, Fanny Priestland by any chance?
