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?

Evening Cari, we're just watching the Ireland v Baby Boks.

It's 12-20 to the bad guys.

1000's of excited wimmin in their 30's? Yo! Feel the phermonal-storm. Keep it close till half-time Ireland. Then re-group.

We're hanging on by a thread here. We need to up the physicality and start winning these collisions.

Gibbo - I can't help that I live so close to the stadium that I can hear them. Seriously Cardiff has been overrun with women in their 30's and above, tis actually quite scary....

evening Cari! I'm still trying to recover from the Wales U20's match.

Prop - ah really? that explains all the noise this early on in the evening then...

Right, when is the first plane to Cardiff?

He just ran straight through two of our front rows.

Anyone else think the difference between the teams is Ireland just seem much more naive?

Pfft I give up on this stream peeing me off and slowing my pc!! Think i'll go get a takeaway cuppa and go for a walk round the lake instead!!

I wish Stag was here. I really think that was the wrong decision at the scrum there by the the referee. Should still be Irish ball.

And they get the try off it. Not too happy.

Bollix! That could be the breaking of us. Too much power for us to handle Im afraid.

Dont let them muller us lads. Stand Up and take the hits.

Now that's simply not fair, any reasonably sized person would need step ladders to tackle Etzebeth

Conway. Take a bow son!

What a piece of individual skill. Superb stuff!

Conway!!! Good man

Wow awesome try by Conway!!

Aw, go on Conway! Lovely piece of running.

What a try by Conway!

No Grey, I think it's a few 100 kilos to be honest.

Conwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Yeah can you reverse the put in if it doesnt go round? i didnt think so

I thought Qualter was close to breaking into the Connacht squad? He's just a big lump of fat!

Great scrum!

What a scrum! Have some of that you ostrich eating chardonnay monkeys!

Big scrum.

I know I am stating the bleedin obvious here.. but we'll just have to outscore them. They will run a few more in... based on their forward-power alone... but we have the backs to hit them back.

Great scrum.

Believe!

Ostritch eating chardonnay monkeys?

Dreamer - oops I missed that.

Re: TT concert. As I was walking home, coach loads were arriving (they park near where I live). All I can say is look out Cardiff - town resembles a giant hen night.

Ariii Gibbo. Hey, I saw another poster on this forum called Gibbo earlier. You should sue

Well there's that, but SA don't seem to be making simple mistakes but we are, which is what is really bugging me. They've been much more composed in our 22 than we have been in theirs.

A try and a penalty off the scrum just before half time. That will give them hope for the next half.

Really good score from Conway. Agree with earlier comments - Ireland need to tackle low. We've been saying the same thing in the pub here. Ye need a baby Worsley

Just goin' with the (annoying) 'baby talk'.

We need to be more physical in defence. Not convinced on the scrum half marmion of whatever you call him. Some of our backs are electric though. Hanaran and Conway look dangerous.

Its also true Grey. Conway butchered one. We could be level. Everytime they get near our line - they score.

The first up tackles are the big difference because outside of that, we're doing really well.

I will hunt him down and destroy him. Where is the the basterd? Huh?

I agree 100%. We can win this one if we believe and just have to be more agressive. We definitely have the threat out wide and have more strike power in defence. We really need to score next though.

The Fields now.

Lovin the few drunk Paddies singin the Fields. Ha! Now get in to em!

Nonsense penalty. You arent allowed to free yourself now. Italian officials

Cari - I know they've been here since lunch time, the amount of feathered cowboy hats on sale is scary.... They're here until Thursday too!

Glad Ireland are still in touch, showing a lot of promising signs here.

I can not believe that is penalty. That's shocking.

How is the commentator finding it so hard to pronounce the name McKeown?

God is a Paddie.

We must score next. ANY score.

Probably because it's spelled McKeon is why they are struggling.

Good to see Queens University with such a good representation here today

Annett looks scared to throw the ball in.

AH!!! POXY BOUNCE!

Great break again !

Aw man, what we would have given for a kind bounce into the arms of Gilroy... COME ON IRELAND!

What a shame, lovely bit of thinking from Conway with the cross-field kick, just didn't quote go as planned

Promising stuff here from Ireland, great break but SUCH an unlucky bounce!

Absolutely stupid Ireland! Our back three are excellent but lack support. Conway is having a stormer.

Oh and whoever has orchestrated these lineouts needs slapped

Dreamer - yeah it's pretty mad.

Gibbo - here he is...
