The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

First topic message reminder :

So there is no rugby on now that I can watch

Stuck in Victoria Square car park for 2 hours today due to the bomb scare. Genuinely disgusted. If I ever see a bloke abandoning a suspicious package somewhere I'm going to pick it up and club him over the head with it.

Whose talking about anatomy - I thought we were back with the vegetable (or fruit?) discussion from earlier

willy - did they charge you for an extra 2 hrs parking - as far as I can remember that carpark has high prices?

You should take a leaf out of Dons book Willy. And don't do that! One of my old Uni friends did that when a device was left at his door. It wasn't viable but it still wouldn't rank as one of his smarter moments.

Frenetic pace. Toulouse attempting to punch holes in ASM's defence at every given chance. Love it.

Allez ASM! Croire!

Willy

I can imagine your frustration man but ...

BTW, is this Ulster Avond or wot? God be with the days when it was Dublin-centric. Then Welsh-centric.

Poortnooy!

ASM are picking up the pace.

Shame that for ASM. Three half-breaks but then Toulouse turn it over.

Yeah Lucky. Toulouse defence was superb. It will take some going to turn the tide.

These turnovers are no accident. Toulouse pack are working their nads off. Excellent defence. This has been a very good game.

It is compelling stuff. ASM giving it all they've got. Must get a reward/try soon or it's rideaux.

Why didn't you just say 'bread and butter' like everybody else?

Who kicked then? Terrible decision and worse execution!

I just don't think they will. Toulouse are rock solid.

Of course, all it takes is one mistake or missed tackle but Toulouse are in no mood to allow them anything. It was Floch lucky. Just shows they are getting frustrated with the lack of opportunities, forcing it a bit.

Oi Glas! You really have a fixation with Notchs' veggies man. Concerning.

But yer a sheep-farmer roysh?

Immense scrum from Toulouse. Even though the penalty was missed, ASM need something to happen for them. Having Rougerie in midfield would help.

Cant see ASM getting by Toulouses' out and out hunger for the ball. And their Title back.

Love to see it but ...

Reprieve.

Couple of missed kicks, otherwise this game would be buried.

No time to be clever ASM. So lucky to get away with that. The French. Oh the French.

That should have been it right there and then.

Oi Gibbo, your not still upset about me sending up Portnoys are you? Didn't think you were the sensitive type like.

YUP.

What's the score guys? Just met with my mate for a pint then one watching a band and now in with ye olde cider

Well Glas, how can I put this man? He aint heavy... He's my bro. My mate. Complete pain in the orse. But, as his Welsh cousin, twice-removed from 606... you should know this.

Im soooooooo sensitive.

It's 19 - 6 to Toulouse. They should be further ahead - missed two penalties and butchered a try.

19-6 Toulouse. Clermont unable to breach the Black Wall. Set piece on the back foot and Toulouse very impressive in defence and at the breakdown.

This is all out of sync. Said YUP to Notch. Which followed your vraag. No excuse. A great feature of this site is that it warns you to check before you post over a new post.

I love you Glas.

This game should be over. 9pts thrown away.

Toulouse do always give their opponents a good fighting chance. A bit like the Predator.

Is it worth finding the highlights then? I'm watching outnumbered so chuckling away

Notch thats a hilarious analogy.

Toulouse's offloading under pressure, is a sight to behold. They did it to us and all I could do was watch in sheer admiration and sheet myself.

We may be Champions of Europe, but man, we have so much to learn from them. At all levels.

It's been a very good game but more absorbing than anything that looks amazing on the highlights. Toulouse scored off a very good, flowing move which brings me back to our debate about great tries and forward passes...

It's mainly Toulouse playing with their food.

I don't know, Prop. It's been a good game to watch but I don't think I'd want to watch it again, if that makes sense.

I'll watch the highlights somewhere then, sounds like the best bits may be worth it!

I love Guy Noves' mojo. He defines everything I love about rugby.

Dare I say this, if the Chef is lurking? ASM were mad to let Schmidt go.

I dont think it would have stopped this onslaught... but they are not the same team without him.

Game over. So one-sided for the 2 best teams in it. Here's hoping the same happens tomorrow for us. I doubt it, but would not complain.

Amen to that Gibbo

Rupeni Caucau with his second try!

Now THAT defines where we need to go. That defines Toulouse. Munster, Leinster... any other team would have kicked the ball out. Not them.

Tres magnifique!

It's so odd watching Caucau!! Here's hoping Toulouse will keep him on the staight and kind of narrow such a talent there

And a try for Caucau to wrap it up!

You can't fault ASM for effort, but it just wasn't going to happen for them. They kept it tight, Toulouse had it covered. They went wide, Toulouse had it covered. The odd half-break but they never really got in behind them.

I can't believe the way Caucau moves with so much extra weight on him.

You could make two Vincent Clercs out of Caucau and still have some left over but he sure burned the cover defender.

Aye, the Scarlets do that as well. Sometimes they forget the killer instinct though.

Alroysh Staggy man? Evenin Sir. I meant US. I did say US.

I reckon if we let it flow, we will. But, cant see that happen in TP vs a fired up and rested Munster.
It will be attricious.

You haven't seen me on the hoof then?

Great news on Maditch.

Gibbo it'll be a dour wet and windy day in Limerick. In a case of pathetic fallacy I expect the game to reflect the weather we're having. Trench warfare, hand to hand combat and a moment or two of inspiration maybe.

Notch wrote:I definitely have both of my testicles. How did it come to this lads, eh?

Notch its because your a Bollix

Make that Vladitch. My Saffer mate works in the Hague, she is a Barristor assimilating to Dutch/European Law and a Chef in the Courts while she does so. We spread a rumour that she posioned Maditch. She was not best pleased.

Funny to tell we were never invited for dinner again.
