The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Walkabout, Covent Garden

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 original Walkabout pub in London's Covent Garden, as it is set to close its doors at the end of the month.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Mark Ella or recent birthday boys Gibson and Glas a du above the bar.

10m ref?

Co ni off de.

How confident are these Ospreys?

Looks like Dragons are in for another whopping defeat... sorry Rev and Lucky.

Ospreys halfway to a BP and there's only been 7 minutes played. Os in the mood. Ulster coming up in 10!

I'm going Ospreys to win by 45+

Notch - keep us updated on the Ulster score...although I am tempted to tune in via the net at the same time anyway in case My Boy is spotted

O's desperate for WBP cause they want the playoff spot sooo bad.

They can't keep it up, can they?

Dreamer would probably castrate me for this, but I hope The Ospreys edge out the Scarlets. We won't trouble Ulster in the semis, the Os will.

Glas a du wrote:They can't keep it up, can they?

I suspect not. They get way ahead, then the internationals will come off around 60th minute and the Dragons will probably get some scores in then. AWJ possibly coming off very soon...

See!

Come on ref, if that was forward it was two inches!

"At the first sign of rugby, blow up"

Men against boys. 3rd try. Beauty.

If Gatland wasn't Wales and Lions coach Beck would be a Lion, no doubt.

"There we are Toby, go and sort it out..."

Feic sake. Power cut just at kick-off.

Back now- not sure how long. Weather causing power cuts across Northern Ireland all day. Should try and locate candles whilst power is on, but tempted to just watch rugby and go to bed if it goes off again.

Still, no action in Edinburgh. 0-0. Edinburgh with a shot at goal to come.

Yet again

Oh no Notch! Hope the power doesn't get cut off at a crucial moment!

It's not going too well right now, Edinburgh re-invigorated by new coaches- prode back in the jersey. Have been unable to break down well organised defence.

Playing well with the ball too. Good game.

What can you say? Delightful rugby.

BP try comes at the 42nd minute.

As predicted, O's kick into gear, at this time of year.
Dragons sad, but O's are being ruthless here.

They will take some beating, as more of their internationals come back.

As will Leinster.

Got to bemoan our luck- twice we've cracked the Embra lineout in as many minutes. First time from that steal it was a knock-on and accidentally offside, then a free-kick for jumping early!

Thems the breaks. 6-0 and Edinburgh the better side. You have to think if they had played like this all season...

Jesus, better mention Ulster. Them too.

Evenin all.

Long time no speak bud.

I've got a feeling that the O's will get complacent now they've got their BP.

6-3 at HT

Not too worried, have played well in patches but Edinburgh have played well and been very hard to break down. Quite an excellent performance from Edinburgh thus far. My biggest concern is the Edinburgh bench.

I think we will win if we can lower the penalty count and error count.

Richie Rees playing? Still think he's Wales' second best 9.

Keep the updates coming, amigos. Am sitting with Mr Puma watching a recording of Brazil v Italy football match. Balotelli has just scored an absolutely cracking goal. This is an excellent game of football which would be totally alien to any british team, sadly.

In other news, still very little snow. Which is lucky 'cause I have to go into Glasgow tomorrow for a funeral. Gloom.

Glas a du wrote:Richie Rees playing? Still think he's Wales' second best 9.

No, he's on the bench. And by the performance of young Sean Kennedy I'd say he's Edinburghs second best 9 too!

There's still the occasional flicker of the lights here. Don't you toy with me NIE...

It's 31-14 in Swansea Puma. Glad to hear you're not snowed in.

Hi Cari. Howya Ozzy. Story Notch?

Hows tings?

Never try drinking with French culchies. Mother of Divine...

We've had some snow, Cari, but if it was rain it would be heavy drizzle. But the wind could cut you in half. How is it with you? At least you have no work tomorrow.

It's just raining heavily here Puma, but it hasn't disturbed the O's tonight. It's 38-14 at the Lib.

Good evenin Puma agus Glas.


BTW, I bought Chef a Middelton Very Very Very Very Rare in Dublin.

He will never be the same again. He saw the bill. 18 euros a shot.

But he loved it.

See Gibbo, I'm a much cheaper date

Took me an hour and half to get home tonight. Beached the wee polo so many many times on the way. Thank frig I brought a shovel with me and was able to dig myself out. Also had to stop and dig an ejjit out who was heading down our country road with low profile tyres on. Supguard and clutch on car are both fairly knackered. Literally cannot express how bad the snow is and how lucky I was to get home. Electricity back on also thank you NIE. Work tomorrow first thing is going to be interesting to say the least.

Well done Willy helping that stranded eejit.

Willy, you Hero man.

Darren Edwards is killing the Dragons. Slowly but surely. Terrible coach. When asked what Fragons ayers should go to Japan he names their worst player. I mean you give him the benefit of the doubt, but then he says something that bonkers. I despair

Have given up on the O's game and am now watching England batter San Marino in the football. Am a bit gutted that there's no Super League on tonight.

18 euros a shot? !!!!! I should bloody well think he enjoyed it!

Any other scores out there?

Evening, Gibbo. How did your birthday celebrations go, my sweetie?

Isn't 18€ a shot the going rate in Dulin?

Ashley Young has just scored an absolute screamer which I'm sure people will dismiss the quality of the strike as it's against San Marino, but I don't think there are many keepers in the world who would have got near it. 4-0 now, not half time yet.

Ospreys 45 -19 Dragons
Zebre 10 - 24 Scarlets
Edinburgh 6 - 3 Ulster

6-3 to Edinburgh, but Paddy Jackson has just missed three in a row. He doesn't like Murrayfield.

Make that 5-0 now. 5 different goalscorers as well I think.

Tipuric does a Croft!

52-19...gwaaan lads, get an 8th one just to pish them off. Oh hang on...YC for an O's forward....nothing new there.

Thanks, Cari, Wow, wish I had thought to record the Embra match, seems like it could have been worth a watch.

Edinburgh try- just our luck. Nine points missed and we get punished.

They went veh veh well, thank you dahlink. Started at 4pm Paddy's Day. Had Monday off and drifted into my birthday on Tuesday. It was so grand. Oh, how we laughed and danced.

I just love being 19, don't you?

For you Puma darlin. X.
