The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

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?

Thomond what do ye think about the aleegations of 'token' Munster players in the squad?

I like that we can have that kind of banter in here without getting overly serious...

I'm fine though lads cheers for the concern

Only two points in it now, will the 2011 curse England again??? 2011 the year Ireland beat England at everything

Genius T.

Are Cork City playing tonight man?

Good man Gilroy. Drift defence was not drifting there.

Anyone else think Matt Everard for England looks like a 30 year old man?

City are playing the mighty Athlone town at Turner's Cross. City have become a breeding ground for Irish internationals over the past five years with (Super) Kevin Doyle and Shane Long aswell as those who got caps under Stan like Joe Gamble and Alan Bennett. Expect another one or two to head to England before the year is out.

I'll watch out for that T. Mon Ireland! England just look bigger. Is it me?

Munster man on at ten now Thomond

PJ can't hack it. Hauled off for Hanrahan.

When's the amputation, hughie?<lookingveryserious>

Our defence is so passive and soft. It looks like it's optional.

Bollix, England score, and honestly that lad cannot be under twenty, seriously he looks at least thirty

I know Hughie I'm watching it. This guy is supposed to be one to watch. We have a big climb ahead of us.

See the way that 20 stone prop shimmied the FB?

Thursday chef, but should be grown back by Friday week

The England SH hasn't been having the best game.

NE1 know the points system in this comp/ Win 2/3/4 Bonus/losing bonus etc??

Oh that's a bad miss by the token munster man

Win, 4, Draw 2, Loss 0.

Bonus points for four tries and losing by less than seven.

Even worse Hughie, that's James McKineey from Ulster!

They are far bigger. That big-boy could not be stopped with that momentum.

Ruddock do your work. I thought the Irish midfield were starting to sing. PJ missed few with the boot, but he is so like Sexton. Give him time.

And give them a phhhoking platform to work from lads.

England U20 6-N Champs. Fair enuf.

Bollix! Easy miss.

That was pretty cynical from England. Bit lucky!

Lads,there are a few of us in the chatbox at the bottom of the page if you want to give it a lash.

Chance to redeem himself, job done

4 points in it now, 15 minutes to go

Man the commentary is caaattttt

Mon Ulster!

Jeez, some of England's passing in this half has been woeful. 23-19 now :gulp:

England seem determined to throw this game away

Kick the corner and go for it!

Thanks,Notch,
still got to get people round to 3 try difference bonus

Corner you Muppet

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Justified the decision. Drop goal time!

Wow,see that tackle??? and Umaga is still alive

Believe. Should have been a yellow for England. But the boy is learning.

I cany use the chat box on my phone

NOW! Now put the pressure on. A La Leinster.

Drop goal... Drop goal... COME ON! In the pocket. Penalty!

Believe.

Gilrooooooy. Drool.

Put this one in the corner, beautiful break from gilroy

The English 10 should think about the Massif Central,could fit in nicelywith the Scotch-hehe, centre we poached

Composure lads. Composure is of the essence. Hard when yer young. But Phhhokin do IT!

Ireland take the lead, get in, still think we should have gone to the corner

Gilroy is a bit different from the rest in that he's not so much a prospect as already a very good ML player.

And England get a penalty straight back!

Keep it cool lads.You can do it!

Arrrgh! Not composed. The English kicker was SO composed. Fair dues.

Shane Buckley, yellow card. Silly. That- that is a lack of composure.

Hold on a cotton.Use this!

England try, game over. Tough one to take!

To be fair Notch they were vastly better.

And we miss out on the bonus point

Well deserved England. They were very much the better side

hard luck Ireland. Anyone watching Scotland in a bit?
