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?

What's the score in french?

Try Montpol!!

As - TJ had a fine game. Andy and I had him in with a shout for MotM.

Lovely bit of individual skill from Nagusa

Question for the Welsh posters - what did you learn about your team for the RWC today?

Who scored?

Servat off. C'mon Montpellier!

Asbo- Ulster had a choice, retain the services of Timoci Nagusa or retain the services of Simon Danielli... really not sure we called that one right!

Servat off. Oooh Zee plot ziikens...

Tou 0-7 Mon.

Surely the advantage there would be a 22 not a scrum. Common sense should come into play there.

Nagusa from hero to villain. 10 mins in the bin.

BTW Prop,
I could not access that vid you posted last night - of your work. Can you put it on FB please?

Nagusa off for 10. Hero to Zero.

Ha, ASM have to deal with flakey Skrela next season.

Hold OUT!

Ouedraogo is a really fine player in my opinion. Undersized for a modern day flanker, I think he offers so much to whatever side he is in.

What hurt more then: the elbow to the head or cau-cau falling on him?!

He is Munsty. Incredibly brave too.

Bhhuuger. Missed chance there. HT 3-7.

Naughty Timoci, yellow card for deliberate knock on

Caucau is showing us all he still has it.

That we're buggered if that's the team we'll be playing.

We have a couple if French lads in the pub who are very happy this game is on. Ah, rugby - you can't beat it.

Great work by Noves to have him that way.

I expect Toulouse to really take this game by the scruff, in the 2nd half.

Evenin' gentlepongs. Woss occurrin'?

Trinh-Duc drop goal! 10-3 and still Nagusa to come back on.

good start!!

Hi Cari. Watching the last game of the season.

Trinh-Duc earns his shekels. DG. 3-10. They really Believe.

Cariadwr, there must have been some positives to take? Faletau seemed to me to have an excellent game, Warburton is the real deal, Jon Davies would be good with the right partner, ...

The French love their DG's. Should we do it more? It's a handy 3pt weapon.

So impressed at the Montpol scrum

Asbo - it's not individual players I'm concerned about.

Toulouse hideously offside at that ruck, how could the ref not see that?!

This referee really seems out of his depth.

Is it the coaching, the selection, the tactics, individual units or the team as a whole that is worrying you? :tea:

Exactly...there's something wrong with the whole shabang. Anyway, with any luck they'll prove me wrong and a fine team will be picked and Wales will go a long way...

Oh Skrela!

Skrela is costing Tou, big time. 9pts thrown away.

I may be a wee bit in lurv with Erik Lund's beard

Man, I hope they hold out. They really are a TEAM. Not pretty .. but phhok it.

Believe!

Where ARE Toulouse? Dreadful performance. Mont defence has been superb. So far.

Believe!

Too right, atlho i really worry about the strength of Toulouse's bench

As, will you text me the score at the end?

I dont phookin believe it! He will be RUN out of Toulouse...

oh dear, Skrela pulls it back to a 1 point game

Of course

I didn't say "oh dear" btw, I never say "oh dear" unless its followed by 'oh dearie me' - i actually said bhu88er, currently in my top 5 of words

urine-pot, another penalty and Toulouse pull ahead

Its coming.... Pen.

This ref has just done over mont now

15-10 Toulouse, crepe, their pressure is beginning to tell on he scoreboard - five knuckle shuffle

Question for the Welsh posters - what did you learn about your team for the RWC today?

That the young guns would make a better fist of it.

That it is a tragedy that Iestyn Thomas is consistently overlooked for Wales.

That Bennett, Nugget, Phillips and Byrne should be put out to grass.

That our coaches don't suit us

That all natural instinct of ball play and attacking flair are knocked out of them on the training paddock.

That you can't expect to put your tallest and shortest second rowers together and expect a good scrum.

That regional rugby is preparing guys well for international rugby.

That the following are international class:
Burns, Faletau, Turnbull, Knoyle, Williams, Brew.

The yellow seemed harsh to me, would love to get a ref's view on it - seemed to me that the tackler had clearly gotten to his feet
