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

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

If anyone wants to take their mind off rugby for a short time - then I've created this game. Feel free to add your crazy place names...
It's an educational experience on here after all!

Na he'll just out class carter then get schooled by Jonny Sexton in the final

Yeah sure Hughie.

We shall see my friend. (roo humping leprechaun deleted)

Look Ireland are not going to have a bad world cup, I'm sure of it. I'm still confident that ee will beat Oz in the pool. No other reason than blind faith but Im just sure its going to happen

On channel 4, men's 4x100m is on, "the second leg is the long leg". Good incite there channel 4

Thanks mate. I'll check it out too.

Currently watching Roosters upset the Storm 28-8 at the 62 minute. (I cheekily tipped this one on my fox tipping and nominated double points too.)

Ha T that's class, your man's a dope!!

Melbourne Storm hammered 40-8 by the mighty Chooks!

Blind faith is all we have Hughie!

Just drew the Aussies in a friends sweepstake. Had Uraguay for the WC last year so feeling quietly confident. I would suggest setting one up here but I reckon we probably have enough fantasy games si?

Yeah, I'm comped out at the moment. About 6 or 7 of them.

Good luck with the sweep Willy.
(So that means we will beat France in the play-off for 3rd!)

Sitting in third in the 606 pool in sportguru this week, all downhill from here ;-)

I have scarlets by 14 tonight, just like PaddyPower, good sign!!

I've got them by 11. All downhill for me too... I'm currently 12th.

Just reading through the scoring system on sportguru, didn't realise you get three points for getting all the results right in a week, come on scarlets!!!

argh I forgot the athletics was on and I've just missed Mo Farah winning gold

I have Scarlets by 6.

Your man Caster Semina just got beaten in the 800m, was a great race

that she did Hughie. Just tuned into it quickly now. Idowu is going to have to jump over 18m to win the triple jump, can't believe the PB by the American! 17.96 - huge jump.

righty, off to catch a train.

Ymlaen Sgarlets!

Pissing rain out in London now.


Mens relay final on now, Bolt is running should be interesting

WOW


Jamicans just broke the WR. They were a good second ahead of anyone

Why would you like to go third in the 4x100m men's relay chef??

Afternoon all!! All set for the Glaws game

Imelda Markus.

Anyone got an update for the scarlets game??

Afternoon all. Disappointing result for THE Sarries at home yesterday (3-19) to the side who finished a place below us last season. Looked very rusty, but thought Prop hit his 'jumpers' well. Scarlets also looking rusty, but that's understandable with a whole backline missing. Loads of inexperience in the backs, but still 9-6 up at half time

Watching Saints v Glaws play at a packed Franklin's Gardens. Cant get the Scarlets game.

Cheers Penfro!! Av's okish too just got to wear an eyepatch for a bit. Can't believe I had 2 try scoring opportunities!!

Scarlets 9-9 Aironi latest score in the second half.

Both teams look quite poor, lot of mistakes at the set piece and a lot of knock-ons.

Scarlets finally manage to hold onto the ball and get some go-forward; they score a try and, even with 30 minutes to go, I can't see Aironi responding.

Aironi don't look very good at all this week. 19-9 and the error count is killing them.

How's Ben Morgan doing Notch?

22 - 9 (70 mins) Scarlets have up'd the tempo, pissitively possing down at PYS

TRY !!! Andy Fenby - great to see after his injury

29 - 9 (75 mins)

and Kingsley Jones' son Rhys (on as a sub) kicks a penalty on Full Time - 32 (2 tries) - 9

Ben Morgan has done quite well, but by and large Scarlets have been rusty with flashes of good play. It finished 32-9 to Scarlets- a poor game played in very poor conditions, Aironi were notably bad however. Credit to Scarlets for their win, Newton just kept that scoreboard ticking over.

Plenty to work on for both sides, especially the visitors.

KK won the AI for those interested. I missed it,was out playing a soccer match out in the pissing rain and wind. The weather a midfielder loves!

No,but a translation would be welcome.and the rain only drips here

Kilkenny won the All Ireland.

Seriously cream crackered. Played football this afternoon was good.

You obviously missed the Wigan game then. Gareth Hock ought to be in a lot of trouble.

Penfro, I just had to walk a mile in that rain to get my car. Delighted I was.

What was the score and what did Hock do?

39-12 or so to Warrington. Hock gouged somebody then punched him straight after. Warrington were unreal.

Bound to happen at some stage. Wigan have been on an incredible run of late. Warrington are a damn fine side.

Yeah they are. Michael Monaghan was very good.

My head still doesn't seem to have registered the World Cup is starting on Friday or that I'm heading to Turkey on Thursday.

This summer hasn't gone anything like I've planned it but it has been absolutely fantastic. I wouldn't have believed it before it started but I've made myself so many new friends and really feel part of a community here.

I really do feel at home here.

Lovely town, Chester
Have friends there, spent time there, was there recently(well near to Tarporly), go to the Boot, they do a wicked folk fest, apparently.
