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?

Kerr Gossman pulls a try back, simple ball thru hands, half-break from Bryce - 'mon the Sweaties

Kiwis get it together for another try 83-0

85 - 0 after the conversion.

This boy Gossman is fired up. Bad luck.

And another try under the posts: 92-0 with the kick and 2mins to go!!

90 - 0, stupidly easy try, off a turnover again.

Cmon Wales, don't fall asleep, pride to play for

Full Time 92-0: that score would get words put to it on final score!!

Some of the Scots and English lads look out on their feet - no quarter given, none asked. Don't care if this was an England 'B' team, we've given them a fright

90, they've hit 90. Surely no time for the ton though? 92 in fact.

right

any links to Irelands game now?

Well Wales will avoid the century at least.

Its on the IRB site Stand.

Wade scampers in at the corner off turnover ball, Scotland trying to push the game to go for the win, converted 32-18

92 - 0 FT. Thank goodness that's over.

Glimmers of hope from Iolo Evans and Liam Williams....that's pretty much it. Kirby Myhill threw in a bit better I guess....

Yeah that really is it. Ouch.

What's the score in the Eng v Sco game?

I'm guessing that Morgan wasn't selected as he might be a defensive liability. Bad choice considering the whole side was a liability in defence.

Repeat... That's the 1st time the place has got flooded and a double post. Time to up the server power Hobo.

Or the bandwidth.

Ah Poopie, lovely break from Gray from the base of a scrum, Wade right on his elbow and in for his hat-trick in his favourite corner - Scotland totally out of gas now 39-18 - full-time

Duncan Weir my MOTM

England get the bonus point.

Is it just me the irb site doesn't want to show any rugby to ever??

England's power and skill seals it. Well played Scotland gave em a real fight.

I think it is Italy v arg gibbo. its not working for me anyway

So unfortunate to see Scotland crumble in the final minutes.

We MUST beat the Saffers. Do we have a realistic chance?

It was Notch but more importantly is that there looked to be some good players in that side as this is a development tournament remember.

Deleted the duplicate for you Gibbo

39-18 win for England. A flattering scoreline in the end. Scotland played very well, better than I've seen them perform of late. England will have to step up their performance if they're going to compete with the 3N teams. I think the Boks will beat them, they haven't showed enough direction.

Using the same gibbo

Thanks Dreamer.

And sorry, I meant to ask.. can we post match-links in here? Apologies if not.

We definitely can Gibbo. Hanrahan at 12 will be very interesting.

Cheers Gibbo

Who am I looking out for in the irish team then? Is Gilroy playing?

Gilroy on the wing. Will be interesting to see O'Halloran at 15. I am curious about this lad Hanrahan at 12 too.

Gilroy is playing. He's on the wing.

We need to win this game so we can get into the 5-8 placings.

erm I don't think we are Gibbo, twould be best to PM it in future.

Stand - you got hte link yet? say yes and I'll delete it.

Watched that with a couple of Scots in the Thornbury. All in agreement, it was a really good game.

D. Weir aside, who has ML experience, Bennett at 13 and Gossman look like backs that should add something to Scotland's back line in the future.

Owen Farrell wasn't all that, but England's wide players were always threatening. Wade showed his 7s skills with a great 2nd half run. Had it been ickle Shane Welsh fans would have been drooling.

Whos going win SA or Ireland?

I'm hoping for much, much more from our forwards this time Gibbo. They'll need it.

Last time out our second rows were absent, our lineout was poor and we were turned over a fair bit. Just hoping for more of a platform against a very powerful pack.

Is the other irish winger the leinster lad?

Sorry pal. Didnt really know, but should have asked 1st. Thanks.

I will PM in future.

Ireland are in white. Fancy.

MON IRELAND!

Well I'm glad Qualter has come into the second row.

Yeah it is Prop.

Ireland's Call is alright and everything, but they could fairly get rid of the key change in the end. Pure trash pop.

Yes Notch we need a half-decent platform for Gilroy and Conway to do their stuff. Believe!

And hard for a man with my vocal register to sing!

Guilty pleasure alert, i really like the Saffer anthem.

Guess I'll be with the Irish contingent on here!! Not too hard to do better than wales tonight!!

:run1::run2:

Only know what happened in the u20's match from reading back. Richard Webster needs to take a long hard look at himself for his team selections for the past two games. What possible sense dies it make to start a second team against the All Blacks? Sometimes I think all the theories and the advantages of sport science mean that coaches don't use basic common sense.

:run1::run2:

I love the SA National Anthem. Its beautiful. Have a little SA "niece" who sings it for me. Bless.
