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?

Good try from Wales there. 3 - 18. Makes a change to see a kicker keeping his skull cap on when he kicks.

I expect I'll give them a watch.

The Bulls lose. The defending champions bow out.

26-23 Sharks go through and play either Stormers or Crusaders in the playoff

6 - 23 coming up to HT.

Aye shame about the missed kick there Cari. Wales looking okay, but still got loads to work on. Italy would be much more of a threat if they didn't keep dropping the ball! They're quite frustrating to watch in this first half.

Miles Benjamin scores the third try for the Saxons. 25-6.

ooo that was a lovely try there for Wales, finished of by Eli Walker. Nice.

6 - 28 before the conversion.

Lovely try from Eli Walker to close the first half. Missed conversion. To be fair to Matt Morgan, the ball's not staying on the tee.

6 - 28.

I read somewhere Italy lost their top two players before the start of the comp but even with them they look underpowered at this level.

If they find 3-4 decent players through this though, that can be considered a good result.

Saxons pulling away. Feel sorry for Canada but they'll learn from this experience. They'll go to the World Cup the stronger for this. DTH Van der Merwe was missed for those times when they did threaten the English in the red zone.

Baby Blacks winning too, but not so easy!

What's the score in the Baby Blacks game?

Curently 31 - 15 to the BB after 43 minutes.

Feel for Canada.

Argentina putting up a much better show than the Welsh then.

The amazing thing is the Puma's are destroying the BB in the scrum!

Well done Jonny Evans.

Everybody did better against the Baby Blacks. To be fair though, it was quite a second team wasn't it? Wales have at least comfortably beaten the other two teams (assuming this game doesn't change).

I don't think he's being a child about it or trying to score any points. Just pointing out the disparity in performances.

....... walks away from the student / musician ........... prefer to chat to Anton Oliver or Van Morrison than some prune just out of his mammy's womb

Who's being a child now?

Okay.........

To be fair, I'm sure Anton Oliver would make a very insightful poster with his vast rugby knowledge and obvious intelligence.

what's happening in here?

Everyone should have an

Now 42-6 to Wales in the U20's match. They're playing well, although still making a lot of mistakes that better sides will really punish.

An Italian player has had to be stretchered off, I missed who it was but it didn't look good (think it was a leg injury or something). Hope he's okay.

My brown eye'd girl

Jon Evans has had a few hits on him today.

So Argentina eh?


:run1:

Just turned it on Munsty, they seem to be putting in a really good rearguard action.

What kind of side do NZ have out?

I have to say the camera work on this coverage is terrible.

Matt Mullan showed his pace again today chasing O'Toole down the wing. He can really shift for a prop. Reminded me of this effort:

Awh bless the Italian no.7 just missed a good opportunity for a try there. He's a good looking fella too.

6 - 42.

Italia deserve a couple of scores really.

Not really sure, just saw Bowden-Barrett (is that the fullbacks name?) is on- I only have it on in the background.

It's 15-41 right now.

Stormers 16 -6 up..... Aussie v S Africa final I think:)

ah fab try for Rhodri Jones, not often you see a Welsh prop go on a charge like that! 6-49 now.

Rev - agreed, think Italy have been unlucky on a few occasions not to come away with more points.

Such a shame Wales played a poorer team against NZ, could have had that 4th place.

FT 6 - 56. Da iawn bechgyn

Sure even if you'd stuck a few tackles in you'd have had a great chance

:run2:

Well done on the Puma's forming a circle and ignoring the haka at the start too, seemed to phase the young pups of NZ. A breakthrough...well done the Puma's.

I wouldn't really be doing a similar sort of thing to Van the Man all things told

John, why not chill out? If you're so easy to bait that you pick up insults and taunts when there are none you aren't going to win friends and influence people.

You should take a leaf out of the book of an even-tempered, coolheaded, uncontroversial and popular poster like myself

Just seen some of McIlroy's shots thus far. Unreal. The one where it backspun into the hole off a chip was a thing of beauty.

Oh yeah, obviously I'm watching the Golf now. Mainly due to the fact I can't be bothered asking my old dear to change the Sky. Don't mind watching it though.

Looking forward to this game between South Africa and England now.

Aw how do you comunicate with students?? "Big Mac and large fries plase"

John,

You have a real superiority complex when it comes to students don't you?

South Africa not getting their own way at the contact. How will they react to that?
