The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Colwyn Bay

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 Colwyn Bay, where the Tier 2 AIs are currently taking place.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Bob Scott and Malele Kunavore above the bar.

Phew again!

Ulster won again then MrsP? Well done.

Right second half...dere 'mlaen Gweilch!!

Cari,

It was many things but "Well" done.

It was terrible.

We lost more lineouts than we won I think. I know we only have one second row but...

Still, you know what they say. If you can play badly and still win...

Mind you, if you can play as badly as we did tonight and still win....

Well a win's a win even if it's an ugly one.

Baby O's on in the front row now and they're bugggered basically. Welcome to the Big Bad World of Pro12 rugby Mr Thomas!

Oh Cari. It was awful.

The poor Treviso kicker missed a last minute, extremely kickable penalty.

Once again, for the second week in a row I don't feel we won so much as we somehow managed to fail to lose!

But, as you say, the table will show one more in the win column and 4 more points but...

What's going on at Murrayfield now?

O's getting battered MrsP. Our youngsters are struggling...Morgs, bless him was so close at getting a second try but fell short. The second half territory has been something stupid like 94 to our 6%. Our discipline is letting us down as usual as well. 20-13 now.

Balls. Not even a LBP. 23-13.

Dragons are back with a win finally. Couldn't go, but pleased with that. We lost that one last season.

Getting ready to hide behind the sofa tomorrow

Ridiculously, speechlessly, massively proud.

Bath 21-18 Quins

Bath played them all tonight and deserved to win.

Note to TMO or whatever yer called these days, in order to be lost forward, the ball has to break contact with your hands before going dead. #

You don't have to "be in control" there does not have to be "downward pressure" hand on ball, ball on try line, hand never losing contact with ball = a try, Quins lucky to leave with a point on that decision.

TMO looked a bit old for a schoolboy too.

Goodnight, and I love you all.

Does that mean no-one is gettin punched tonight PJ?



Well done Rev and Lucky too!

Cheese and wine gone

Just read back from my last post. Congratulations Notch and Rodders.

Had a really hard week on Salisbury Plain. I don't think it stopped raining too often and the whole place we worked around was churned up. Probably the hardest week of my life. Nothing worse than having wet/damp uniform on for 5 days straight.

Well done Dragons for beating Connacht though eh Rev.

That'll do Glas. We needed that.

Just watching Bradley Wiggins - A Year in Yellow. Great programme. It was on Sky Atlantic.

Surely you're not using Stonehenge for scrummaging practice again, Rev?

Ah, of course Army drills. What's with all this rain... is that normal in those parts this time of year?

Stonehenge was a major disappointment to be fair. We passed that. I don't know what the crack is with the rain, but that place is awful when the wind and rain kick off. Dropping tents in it on Thursday was a nightmare.

Disappointing in what way? There is a road and carpark right next to it, no? Or do you mean it's looking a little worse for wear?

It was just smaller than I imagined and a bit something of nothing. Certainly wouldn't pay to see it.

Now watching Freddie Flintoff from Lords to the Ring. Some great programming by Sky this week.

Including Glos??!!

It's the birthdays slot on Cbeebies, time for a giggle at stupid middle class baby names...

Afternoon All

ooh I could crush a grape! Very excited about these matches. I'm hoping I've predicted the Ireland score correctly to win a pair of Chilli's booties The weather outside is absolutely schitt. There's a pity...I'll just have to stay in and watch the games now

May your teams do you proud folks!

Bit rubbish that this first game isn't on in HD. I'm sure Bargain Hunt looks good in it mind.

Risca - Ireland's match is on BBC 2 - turn over if you're seeing Bargain Hunt...

That's what I'm on about. There's no Bbc 2 Hd. I don't see why this isn't on BBC1. I guess it's because of the Formula 1

Oh I see...I didn't realise that there's only one HD channel (needless to say I don't have HD).

Oh great. My next door neighbour's decided to start hammering hell out of the wall right next to me...it's like the RWC all over again.

Declan Kidney looks as much of an arse now as Hansen did in 2003.

The O2 money sponsorship is horrible. Good half by Ireland though.

Well well well. Some very interesting results so far. Well done Ireland - chuffed that Tommy Two Tries made an appearance. But what about Italy losing by just three points to Oz?! They easily could've equalized too, but the penalty kick was missed. Watching the Scotland game now.

Top win for Ireland. Worked out Argentina well and completely nullified their backrow.

Sorry Asbo, but gunning for Tonga in this one.

It's 9-3 in Scotland with the Tongans on the attack.

MrsP - I bet you're happy. "Shane" Gilroy having a good game, and TTT appearing again

Anyone got a mic in here so I can scream Glawwwwsssssttttteeeeerrrrrrr down it?! Great win again, we're on a roll.

Getting a small bit of belief for Wales, or maybe that's the alcohol from last night!!

Na, that's wind Prop

9-10 in Scotland now after a Tongan try.

Cari.

So proud.

Of the whole team but our Craig did well enough. Moment of the match for me? The entire team nearly killing the wee fella when he scored his first "proper" try for his country.

5 tries and no cap was just silly.

Just waiting for someone to say, "Sure, they did okay, but it was only..."

Sure they did ok but....Wales weakened them for you

Wow! Great try by Tonga. 15-18.

Enjoy the win MrsP. I'm surprised that Gilroy hasn't played internationally before...but that Kidney trouble must've been a real pain...

That must be it Prop!

Thanks!

Sure I'm sure those lads you are hosting later are still reeling from our tour down there a few months ago too!

Tongans have to finish this game with a man in the bin.

15-21 with a minute and a half to go.

Tongan 19- disaster. D!ck of the day award for him! Really left his team in the lurch.

Jebus H! Scotland really couldn't score in a brothel.

Jesus! Clock is in the red, Tonga win a turnover and they run it from under the posts! Winger tries a one-handed offload behind his back and turns it over!

Full-time- well done Tonga! They deserve that. They did everything they could to blow it in the last five minutes though!

Right, off to watch the Wales match...GULP!

Good luck Cari!

I have a feeling you may need it.

Wales to win .....right see yous in 80min.....

Singing "Men of Harlech" in Boderers Jackets and helmets would be the appropriate response to the Haka.

Go Wales... good luck Cari.

7 all in Paris. These PI nations don't seem intimidated at all in Europe.

That's a life ban for me. Cowardly.

Except Fiji, who were all over the place. Samoa playing for a Top 8 spot! Now that would be a big deal.

Andrew Hore with a nasty old cheap shot, punching Bradley Davies in the head.
