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 Hong Kong, host city for the British & Irish Lions first Tour match before their arrival in Australia - land of the Giant Budgie Smuggler.

So grab a beer, cider, whiskey or wine.... or a warm beverage and sit back and enjoy the rugby.

Very Happy   guinness Hug  Ale   Yahoo Chef   coffee cuppa  cake  RedWine   cider clap

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Rory Best, Sam Warburton, the Limavady Luge Team, Papa Rodders, Mrs Rodders and our newest & sweetest member, Katelyn.  heart  Hug

But Saints would be one that would surely, no?

And, regardless, they are not going to admit defeat in front of the opposition.

I will admit that up until I read the report I wondered if Hartley had actually been talking about Youngs. Now I believe he was talking to Barnes.

Yes, it would appear he really is that stupid!

Morning, coffee

My last day of leisure today. Not really got much planned other than the hairdressers The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Ballycastle Bar, Hong Kong. - Page 2 3559488474 Weather's not looking promising so I'll probably be doing stuff around the house...when I get off this!

Willy - I'm not a runner so I can't really advise you what to do. Maybe you could post something on the athletics section for advice? Good luck with the training anyway.

Glas, you played in the front row, yes?

Would you ever have given the opposition front row the satisfaction of hearing you tell your team mates that you were up against it in the scrum?

I wouldn't know Whistle


Seriously though, no way. On one occasion I was playing hooker for the Uni firsts in a SWALEC cup game and my tight head was a league player playing his first (only) game of Union. I was being tonked. I thought my sternum was going to pop. I dont know how it happened but I bound loose and somehow accidentally headbutted their tight head square on the bridge of his nose as we packed down. He went off. In the club afterwards he told me I was out of order. I told him that he showed no mercy, he should expect none. I would never have said that on the field though.

By the way, you noticed Mrs G's ignorance of rugby extended to my glorious career? Charming!

Hello all, hope you don't mind me sticking my pretty little face in. Congrats to Rodders on the little one, 2nd pub baby am I correct?

Casey at 12? Interesting, thought he could do well there if Munster used him there but not with Big James there.

Evidence will need to be supplied!

Hi T! I was just wondering where you were hiding?

Cari,

Shame about the 2nd test but I'm sure Liverpool will provide a distraction.

Does anyone know what the state of play is with Castro? The French deal is off, right? Has he got a contract for next season?

I see James Downey called up to replace Stuart Olding in the Ireland squad. Apparently knee injury in the Rabo final.

Apparently Olding has been wearing a "moon boot" to ease the injury and a final call will be made tomorrow.

I would be really disappointed for Olding if he was ruled out. Young lad deserves to tour.

He's got a bright future. I'm guessing if he isn't fit we'll see a Jackson-Madigan combination at 10 and 12.

The picture is from when I'm about 15, I'm the lad in the Highfield (red, black and green shirt), will upload a better pic at some stage on it, of me and an Irish legend that many people also hate.

Fair dos thom. Keane was indeed a legend of Irish sport. I guess his outburst at the World Cup (2002?) would divide opinion.

In a lot of ways him leaving in 2002 was a big moment in Irish sport, I think it had a ripple effect that led us to overcome the give it a lash attitude and take a more professional approach to winning. Were I in his spot, I wouldn't have left, but he was right to take a stand to the shoddy approach of the FAI (not a lot has changed there but Irish soccer is a very strange thing)

This has no relevance to the pub but I'm going to say it anyway.

3 ex Cork City players are involved in the Irish squad tonight and 8 who have played in the League of Ireland at some point, imagine how good it could be if the FAI actually cared?

It would be better and produce more talent, but surely English and Scottish sides would still snap up all the best prospects fairly quickly?

The more interest you show and develop in the national league, the better its players become, more will leave sure but more interest leads to more players participating at grassroots, which means better overall talent in Ireland, which leads to improving standards in the League of Ireland. It's a cycle. There's a reason why Ireland's young players are looking promising now, around 10 years after a successful period you begin to see fruits from the underage setup.


1-1 now bollix.

Very likeable team the Falcons. I remember meeting most of their team in the early 2000s during a Munster preseason friendly - Jonny Wilkinson, Colin Charvis, Matthew Burke stood out as gentlemen. Jonny Wilkinson spent about an hour doing a kicking session with me and my mates (though in hindsight he really just wanted us to collect the balls he kicked).

I'd really love Dean Richards to make them a team who are not just battling it out with boring old Worcester but really competing for the Heineken Cup spots.

Neither is Richard Hill individually but Worcester as a team are very hard to like. And equally hard to dislike.

The worrying thing for Wasps is that, having lost Robinson to Bris and Jones retiring to a coaching role, we have signed their two fly halves for next season: Goode and Carlisle, plus Matt Mullan.

Stag, you could make a pretty good team out of ex Newcastle players + a few of the current crop, of which Alex Tait is probably the stand out.

I don't think anything can be read into the Lions team to face the Barbarians as to the likely test line up. Sexton on the bench just after the tough Rabo final though convinces me a third outside half must be called up by the tests. You can not involved Farell and Sexton in every match without it going horribly wrong by the end of the tour.

The line up makes perfect sense for the Barbarians but I agree with Glas. Gives no insight to the Test Selection. I think that won't start to become apparent until the Waratahs game with the final selections revealed by the time they play Brumbies. Up til then its anyones guess.

If there was ever a game to give Stuart Hogg some game time at 10 this was it. A third 10 will be needed. St. Jonny to the rescue methinks.

I really hope Wilkinson isn't called up. You know what Sky are like. If he makes the Test side, it'll be all about Jonny; if he doesn't make the Test side, it'll be all about Jonny.

He's very good at what he does, Glas, no question about that.

Morning, Scotty!

So why are people so miffed when Sky say so? I'd they were about when when Edwards was in his pomp they would have been the same, wouldn't they.

I couldn't care if the media hype him up. I dont get all the fuss about them focusing on him during the HEC Final for example.
