The Stratospheric Supersonic Dew Drop Inn, Roswell, New Mexico

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 "sleepy" Roswell New Mexico, take off point for the first ever supersonic free-fall this week.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Felix Baumgartner and Chris Budgen up on the wall.

They are wrapped up Rodders. 2 games in 4N/RC and then this one makes 3.

I didn't know that either Rodders

3 - 6 after 16 minutes.

Great defence from Read on TPN.
Wallabies need to get that extra pass instead of trying to hit it up close to the ruck, getting hammered and then turning it over.

They normally play on the way to these shores don't they? Hong Kong and all that.

Ah no I mean I thought all the bledisoe games were within the 3N/RC. Didn't realise there was an extra one. Get you loud and clear. Thanks sir .

Boom it's rugby time!!!!!!!! Catchya all later....all the best for your teams today

To be honest, I find these games very dull. The teams know each other inside out. 3 games a year! Talk about over-saturation.

Morning guys. Apologies to anyone who might have caught me in a slightly less than sober state last night/early morning

Bad news about the guy Macdonald. Hope he wins his fight.

I'm a Leeds supporter. absolutely livid after what those people did last night. The swine who hit the goalkeeper should be locked up for a very long time.

PJ. The Van arrived safely this morning. A million million thanks. I'll be in touch later.

Notch - I can see what you mean. Coming up to HT 9 - 6 is the score.

Woodcock in the bin, so the ABs will be starting the second half one man down.

HT 12 - 6 after another penalty for Oz by Harris.

Wife has also agreed to watching Crosskeys v Newport in the B&I Cup. Didn't expect to even get to watch the Dragons, as it's our anniversary. Wonder what she's after? Must be something in the shops before I fly away tonight.

See you all later.

Wagons rooolllll.

Italia, Italia.

It's been going on since 1931 Notch.
There have been some classic encounters including the best game of rugby ever in 2000. I was there.
Carter misses again. Still 12-6

Safe and happy trip !

Wallabies really not taking advantage of the binning. They were lucky Carter missed that penalty.

Enjoy Hound!

The behaviour of the Leeds fans at that match was disgraceful. No question there at all. But am I the only one who thinks the goalie went down like he'd been shot rather than pushed in the face?

Hope and pray the player in NZ recovers.

MrsP - well looking at the photo on the BBC news page I just read, the goalie is clutching his head rather than covering his face. I thought he'd been hit with a missile of some description, but the Beeb has put a video still on there now which looks awful. Disgraceful behaviour by the "fan".

I wouldn't dream of running onto a pitch and punching a player....I wouldn't even run on a pitch to cwtch a player (as tempting as that would be!)

15 - 6 after 52 minutes, the ABs are turning the screw now though. They've got an easy penalty coming and they're back up to 15.

15 - 9 and now Oz have a man in the bin (no.7). They could lose this now.

Oh god. My sister has just text me and said that one of her colleagues' family was a victim of the van driver hit-and-runs in Cardiff and they've had to have an arm amputated, and someone else has also had a leg amputated. Sounds like the incident was absolutely horrendous

Anyway, back to the rugby...that's less disturbing...

ooooooh Corey Jane almost through there, but the ball goes into touch...now if that had been another, better looking 14...

Did well to hold out on the line there. Penalty in front so 15 all.

Cari - here's hoping the culprit never gets out of jail.

Well, Oz were lucky that the ABs didn't get a try there, but now the ABs have a penalty right in front of the sticks.

So now it's 15 - 15 at the 67th minute.

Hound, I'm actually hoping that he's sectioned. Someone can't be the full shilling to do something like that - well, I hope that's the case.

Cari, there was also this shocking incident in Perth. A young bloke from the UK had just arrived (he'd been here barely an hour or two) and was in a taxi when some nut in a van ploughed into them. Both driver and tourist dead... very sad and tragic news to hear.

Jeez, the Wallabies are choking here. Throwing the game away!

That is terrible Cari.

Wales have had such a clutch of tragedies in the past few weeks. Seems everytime I see some terrible headline it has been from Wales recently.

Hope those injured recover well.

What have you done to your wrist Cari?

Oz panicking now, so they've given away another easy penalty for Carter to take...

15 - 18.

You're right MrsP. It seems so depressing here! However, I take some optimistic comfort in the fact that all these tragedies have one thing in common - the relevant offenders have been apprehended.

I think I strained the wrist yesterday. We've got large archive boxes in work, I was lifting one, and in mid-lift I sliced my middle finger badly on it, then I strained my wrist trying to sort the box out without using the injured finger too much and getting blood peeing everywhere.

18 - 18 now with five minutes to go, but Oz restarts have been pants.

18-18

Harris levels it up at 18 all. 3 mins to go...

Beale drops the pill but now the ABs have the dropsies. Errors galore.
Just get the ball up the other end... and in hand preferably!

Squeaky bum time...Oz scrum at halfway almost...

Oz have got 30 seconds to get a penalty, a good DG or anything!!!

William of Orange!

Long time no see!

Boutya lad?

They blew their chance. AB scrum instead.

Stupid from the Aussies, tried to hard to win a penalty, DG was the option.

AB's for the scrum

Nearly two minutes gone....Oz still in possession, but now they've given away a penalty....just as they were getting into DG range.

Mccaw opting for a scrum!

Hi MrsP

All is good, hows you and yours?

So, the ABs can win or draw...they don't care.

Only the ABs would blydi score now after four minutes extra time!

Unbelievable

And Carter has missed

Carter misses. Oh no. A draw. Didn't expect that.
18 all not a bad result for the Wallabies considering all the ball they fumbled.

oh! Dan Carter just misses with his DG attempt!

18 - 18 after 85 minutes!

It deserved a draw that match. Cracking finish

We are all fine thanks William.

Three victories for the P teams this weekend so a happy household!

Great stuff MrsP

Well actually, not completely happy as the wee fella's team has a centre who NEVER looks up or passes so it was a bit of a frustrating morning for him. But at least he was frustrated on a winning team!

Actually!

Just talking to the wee fella. Apparently at one point one of their team mates got so annoyed with this lad that he swore at him to,

"Pass the *@$*@*&% ball!!!!"

The ref called the guy aside and told him not to use language like that but said he sympathised as the centre was the greediest player he had ever seen!!!!
