The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Jersey

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 island of Jersey, where the newly promoted hme side is off the bottom of the Championship.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Glen Jackson, Dan Parks and Matt Banahan above the bar.

Let me know when I need to get into the starting blocks!

Come on then folks, predictions for tonight?

I want Samoa to win, and although I went with them on Superbru, I think Wales might nick it, but definitely by less than 7.

Wales smarting big time after last weekend. I expect a backlash and a 15+ point win.

Evening pubblies.

Ensconced in the 'pub in Marylebone' waiting for the game to start. Samoa have a much better pack than Fiji, and pace in their backline. But I do expect Wales to be better in both areas.

Is it the whole of Samoa Wales are pkaying tonight?

Nah Hound......England have one of them and I'm sure N.Z have got a couple

I went for Beck first try scorer and wales to win between 5-10 so could get a nice payout!!

Evening All

I really hope this match is a corker. I've had a terrible week. Very stressful, but hopefully the lads will give me something to smirk about. Hope everyone's well.

Many congradulations rodders. Start looking at Ulster baby grows now they're sure to rocket in price whatever trophy we end up with this season.

Congratulations on the bab Rodders. Tommy's a lovely name for a lad, or Thomasina for a girl...

DERE YMLAEN CYMRU!

Shane Howarth back on Welsh telly...Jebus he's aged!

I've gone Samoa to win and Treviranus to score a try, which will earn me a few bob if it comes to pass.

I hope you're skint at about half nine tonight then Oz!

Someone give Jiffy some cough sweets...his voice has gone.

I can bring one out every blue moon!!

Cari: I'm looking forward to hearing Jiffy getting annoyed with a croaky voice!!

Is he in the commentary box? It'll be like listening to Norman Collier before long...

I wonder how Fotuali'i will do opposite his fellow O's...

I'm guessing he should be! Looking forward to seeing Jarvis-Tips-Beck and............dare I say it............Biggar.

I hope those O's boys can do some magic tonight. I'm chuffed to see R-Jo back with the captain's armband though. If anyone can motivate the players, it's him.

Like the Samoan shirts too.

OZZY - F R O ..........................

CARI - I'll just take a win thanks, don't care who plays well - Tosspreys, Turks, Blouse or Dreigiau. Tonight- WE ARE WALES !!!

I wish teams could walk out together again!!!!!!!! C'mon Wales!!!!

ready, pizza and wedges cooking, garlic bread with cheese for 2nd half!!!!

Prop - are you sure you've got enough food there butt?

Oh I need a wee, but I'll have to hang on now...

My goodness!

It's going to be even harder than usual to listen to Jiffy tonight!

Penfro - of course I want Wales to win - doesn't matter whose fault that is. I would like to see the O's youngsters do well though, just because this is a big occasion for them, and the critics will be watching carefully I expect.

Morning (evening) All.

Up early for this one. Go Wales!

Luv yer anthem....

And the winner of the best eyebrows goes to....................

Cari: that should be enough!!

Awwww! R-Jo was crying!! Bless!

Jebus! Look at the size on that big dude in the front of that Haka!

that's just the physiotherapist Cari

I think it was number 3 I was on about Breaker He's got big hair too.

Woah! Good start from Samoa - easy blydi try!

Jarvis and Davies at fault there.........awful blindside defending

Cari that's Census Johnston

What a start for Samoa!

Wow!



The ref's kit is too close to Samoa's I think. Especially the socks. Bit confusing for the players that.

Don't panic boys! There's 75 minutes to go...

How is that a tackle??!! Surely he just shouldered Hibbard?

Don't know if he's off his feet but he's off the ground...........ahhh jiffy!!

It was a big thump all right. They need to watch that...the commentator was just saying that one of the Samoans has returned after a shoulder charge resulted in a ban.

Oh Biggar..........

ooh get Fotuali'i shoving Ianto! Old Mother Hibbard struggling. Think he'll be coming off after Pence kicks this.

3-7.

"More conversation"?

Why doesn't he set up a couple of armchairs between the halfway line and the 22?

Wales just need to keep their heads. Brains over brawn.

Come on Wales, feck it...just run with it.

Jiffy wants a fight then!!

That wasn't a tackle on Hibbard was it? No wonder he's off with a knackered shoulder.

Well I just went to the lav, made a brew and dug out the biccies in the hope that fate would be tempted and Wales would've scored a try in the interim...

Didn't miss anything Cari!!

Apparently Hibbard's in a sling Cari

Makes a change Prop! Well the Samoans have conceded the most penalties, and have had a row off the ref for infringements...hopefully we can use that to our advantage, but a try or three would be nice too!

Awh, that was Pence's 200th Welsh point!

R.J has given away 2 cheap pens now :/

prop_lyd wrote:Apparently Hibbard's in a sling Cari

Argh schitt. That's all we need. I hope it's not serious.

Thank flip he missed that penalty!

FFS he could have scored that first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ASHLEY BECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a fecking hero!!! Superb run and finish.

Not sure why the Samoan guy gave up the chase but not complaining.

Well that woke everyone up.

13-7 but it's still early doors. That'll give them confidence though.

Awh poor Hibbard looked so depressed there in his sling.
