The Dew Drop Inn

First topic message reminder :

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 only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the Tommy Bowe photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be? king

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 14:12

No offence to the Welsh but I'm gunning for the Barbarians. Two victories for them will be a big boost and keep the special club going.

by Cari Sat 4 Jun - 14:14

Wales could do with that winning boost as well Munsty!

Gav needs a good game and it'd be nice for Wellies to have a corker as well.

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 14:16

Strange that for England their game against the BaaBaas was a non-cap game and yet the WRU are giving out caps.

Munsty, I feel the same. I always support the Barbarians as a neutral. It's all part of it.

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 14:17

Just watching the Magners League awards on the RTE Player.

Toby Faletau was receiving his award and was obviously very uncomfortable speaking so-

Joanne Cantwell- "Will I let you escape?"

Toby Faletau- "Please"

Cue laughter and applause.

chat box open for the game - i will be on in 30 mins to join in

by Cari Sat 4 Jun - 14:22

I'm on it Hobo cheers!

by Gibson Sat 4 Jun - 14:35

Isa goes back to the MS. The scene of the best rugby game Ive seen in a long time. Im watching this in Italian. Great gas.

Dont care who wins - as long as it's good.

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Sat 4 Jun - 14:37

Notch - to be fair, many of that England team last week were 3rd or 4th choice, plus 5 debutants starting. This is a much stronger Wales team.

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 14:42

Henson should have gone down on that ball.

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 14:45

Well Henson gets an assist though how that wasn't called forward, I don't know.

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 14:52

Barbarians score but was it a knock on?

No it wasn't. Very good try off the interception by James then good interplay between James, Van Niekerk and Tekori who scored the try.

by Gibson Sat 4 Jun - 14:55

Ref is allowing FP's all over the place.I dont mind as long as it's not too bad.

Eeeeeeeeeeesaaaaaaaaaaa!

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 15:09

That Mike Philips tackle to stop Sackey should have been a penalty try.

Anyway, Parisse scores!

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 15:16

Amazing how quick the ball becomes unplayable at the ruck once time is up Rolling Eyes

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Sat 4 Jun - 15:20

Hmmm. I can't get into that Chatbox thing. I get a message saying that I'm disconnected.

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 15:22

Right, missed the whole first half due to actually having to do some work when I was in work- see Barbarians are winning. Anyone want to fill me in on how the teams are looking? Being from Norn Iron I have a particular interest in the Orange Man, Gavin Henson.

by greybeard Sat 4 Jun - 15:23

All oranje and no boom so far.

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 15:26

Faletau looks at home. Phillips looks homeless.

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 15:27

Best groomed homeless man ever.

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 15:29

It was a metaphor

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 15:30

I know, Glas. I know! Smile

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 15:31

Idiotic from Brew.

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 15:32

Rolland is a plank

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 15:33

Faletau has been good in defence but can't impose himself on the ball.

Rabeni making some big tackles.

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 15:34

?

In thought that was a correct decision, as was the subsequent yellow Erm

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 15:37

I know Notch, I know

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 15:39

Free your arms Toby!

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 15:40

Williams knocked that ball on on purpose. No way was he attempting to catch that ball.

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 15:41

Clever though.

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 15:42

Not a bad debut. Have to change this second row.

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 15:43

Clever but I think referees are to hesitant to award it.

Try for Philips.

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 15:44

I scored a try like that once.

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Sat 4 Jun - 15:45

Notch - 1st try to Wales by North, but Henson's pass was forward. Converted by Jones. Baa Baas try by Tekori following nice handling after an interception. Conv missed by Brock James.

2nd Wales try by Stoddard who intercepted an ran in from 75m. Conv. Baa Baas try by Nacewa, Brew rushed up into the line and left his wing exposed. 2nd Wales try by Stoddard who intercepted an ran in from 75m. Conv.

Parisse try for Baa Baas off the back of a 5m scrum. Poor defending in not anticipating it by Wales' back row.

by KiaRose Sat 4 Jun - 15:46

Munsty - with your ref's hat on

A few minutes ago Huw Bennett was lying onthe ground ; the ball came to him and he grabbed it - surely he was "playing the ball on the ground"? was it legal?

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 15:49

These boys can't run an overlap

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 15:52

Kia,

I'd leave it go.

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 15:55

I really don't think this should be a capped match.

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 15:56

Agreed

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 15:59

Aw, unlucky Faletau! Wales have this.

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 16:00

I'm quite pleased with the young guns.

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 16:04

Yes, some encouraging performances for Wales.

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 16:07

Game isn't over yet.

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 16:08

Lots of rare talent on this pitch according to Phil Bennet. Are they really that rare then?

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 16:09

Nope. I'm still supporting the BaaBaas Wink

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 16:09

Has gatland got the guts to use them without over facing them?

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 16:13

Eeeeeeeeessaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

by MBTGOG Sat 4 Jun - 16:14

Oh what a finish. What a try to win it. Nacewa!

by Glas a du Sat 4 Jun - 16:14

Class try. Well done.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 4 Jun - 16:14

What Notch said Yahoo

Baa Baas win. 2 from 2 fantastic. I love the Barbarians concept, long may it continue.

by **Notch** Sat 4 Jun - 16:15

Certainly beginning to see the potential of Willie Mason in Union. Involved in both tries with superb offloads.
