The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

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 David Pocock photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

He should stop the clock because it was eating into the yellow card time.
If a prop is yellow carded and a replacement needs to come on then the clock should stop.
If they don't stop the clock then sides will just waste as much time as possible

Marc ee de Sade

There are other ways to deal with timewasting if its occurring though. The clock isn't usually stopped for subs I thought?

I thought it was Notch, but I don't usually pay the clock that close attention. I'd have assumed it was though.

Or maybe now I think about it, subs usually occur when there's a break in play anyway, so the clock would usually be stopped I guess.

Clock isn't stopped for subs.

But having to bring a prop on to replace one that's been put in the bin is not a substitution.
The clock should be stopped to ensure that the offending prop spends the full 10 min in the bin.
From the ref blowing for a scrum and the replacement prop getting on the field a full minute was used.

Evening all

Am watching the Bulls vs. Sharks game from earlier, and how Werner Kruger got near a Springbok jersey is beyond me. His scrummaging makes Tony Buckley look like a world beater.

What's that on Pete ?

Good night

Evening Mick, great win by Clermont I saw for you earlier

Was on Sky Sports 4 earlier Cymro, Sky+'d it.

Wife just headbutted me for taking remote control off her and the game was not even on

Wonderful victory,dreamer;Cotter said there would be problems if we lost by 40, but starting without 14 internationals and 5 injured,plus 12 academy lads on the sheet, a win was only a dream.Fofana and the back row(Bardy,Vosoloo,Elvis, Lapandry) were outstanding.

I shall sleep better tonight.

great to hear it, tis always good when the academy players do your team proud

Just figuring train times out etc for tomorrow for me making a trip down to Y Parc. Got to pick me up a new rugby shirt before the match, can't wait

Et moi, bon soir mes amis, bon soir.

Home or away shirt

Home Cymro, I'm due a new one, the one I've got now is about 4 season's old and I really like this new one. Was thinking about asking for the away one for Nadolig but reckon I'll ask for the Welsh one then instead. Haven't had a new one of those for 6 seasons now.

plus SU Agen beat rivals Brive away last weekend. You must be as happy as un cochon in Poopie.

Nice news on Loupa btw.

ALLEZ!!!

After digesting our match, Robinson was a controlled head amongst the mayhem, he really does fit in at Wasps. Castex has to start ahead of Payne. We shafted Sarries line out - take a bow Joe Launchberry. We miss Simpson big time. Our scrum was rubbish (see Payne comment).

Having said all that, Sarries were hugely disappointing considering they are champions.

Sion Corn is going to bring me the away one. I support all the regions but I only buy a new shirt every couple of seasons.
If and when we do get a North Wales region then obviously my full support will go towards my local side.

HH you could not have asked for better weather for the double header.

Does anybody know how Peel got on today ?

The away shirt is a nice one Cyrmo, I've glad that've gone back to navy blue this season.


Hound - great win for Wasps today

change of plans for me re: the shirt buying! Going to order mine online now. Just checked and you can add on the name and number of your favourite player on to it.

Wonder who I'll go for

Will be strutting my stuff in the new away shirt boxing day
If a few of you are going to that match it would be nice if the wife and I could say hi to you all.

Cant you put your username on it ?

No end of choices;

Spoiler:

Notch - he's only my second fave!

Cymro - I could indeed put my username (can have up to 15 characters), but would much prefer to have my fave players name on it instead.

And I should be going to the boxing day match with my Dad and brawd so maybe see you there

Cheers dreamer.

Just texted Asbo to say Rob Baxter should bollok his players for not getting a bonus point try

Seeing a fan in a tiggers shirt on leaving Twickenham I started up the Chiefs' 'tomahawk chop' chant. My bad

So Munster swatted away those Dragons despite picking up 3 yellow cards along the way. Hard luck Rev, hope that Risca won.

Morning all

Morning Pete... a quiet day so far. Can't wait 'til next week.

Just watching the NRL. Suncorp is packed... Broncos are leading but the are Sea Eagles coming back in the second half.

Morning line

you're doing better than me, I'm watching Dora the Explorer!!!

Morning all


Hope asbos not been in yet

It was 3-1 in yellows at least. Yes both Risca sides won. I played for the 2's and scored.

Tom Riley is dump. I'd have rathered Martyn Thomas on the wing and Adam Hughes centre all along anyway.

Going to be a long season.

So far I'm 100% in sports guru this week and with only Scarlets at home to Aroni left. I have scarlets as my pick, I should stay at 100%. I wonder what odds of have gotten in Paddys for the 6 results???

Well done, mate. So back up to the 1sts' for next week?

Marks & Spencer

I see from the match report that TOL didn't figure in the Munster match. Injured, depressed or other?

Injured his back again.

Bore da pawb/Good morning all.

Nice one on the win Rev

And I agree with you about Riley.


Getting nervous about today's game now, it's weird but I've actually really missed this feeling.

Line, I doubt it. Can't train, so it flips my chances up.

Cheers Dreamer, enjoy PYS today.

Rev, did you get injured or logistical reasons?

It's because he's in the SAS breaker, its very hard to commit to a team when you can be whipped off at any single moment

Oh, I forgot about that hughie. I must pay closer attention in future.

Love it.

Even in that song all they use is excuses

At least they're consistent.

I can see what GG is getting at now... but only when it's put to music.

In 2011 it was Cooper in Semi

Do you think he'll do a Carlos intercept pass like in 2003?
