The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 19:48

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 collage of pub regulars. We've got the big group pic from the HEC final in Cardiff, plus insets of ll those who couldn't make it

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

Ale

Prop's idea that one thumbsup

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 19:53

I thought Prop wanted a Pub XV...only cause he'd be the top prop... Wink

by Guest Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 19:53

Dreamer,

I thought they might have not taken a chance with Lydiate, particularly with a good player like Ryan Jones on the bench. I thought we'd only see him on for an hour. I also thought Hook might have come on sooner, purely because Priestland was unlucky with a couple of kicks. Not saying he had a bad game there though.

by Guest Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 19:55

yeah I know, I was of the same mind Rev, think it was such a nervy game though, it would have been a huge risk changing the 10's for us with how we were playing the game.

I thought Bradley was superb when he came on actually, best I've seen him play for us for a long time.

Morning. Well played France - England's handling has been dreadful. Flood especially with forced offloads. Oh look, there's another furious

by WillyGilly Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:02

Banahan is a banana. Shouldn't be a back.

It's not over yet! Dog

ha Harinordoquy having a scrap with Palmer on their own in the middle of the pitch...

by Guest Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:05

The one thing I am noticing about England at the moment is that they don't seem to be playing as a team. I don't know if that makes sense but they are very fractured in their play and keep forcing things. Still time enough in this match to change things around though.

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:06

Harinordoquy's got a good bod on him fair do's! Shocked

by prop_lyd Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:06

Cari + Dreamer: I hope you looked away when Hari was changing then!!

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:07

Prop - That was highlight of the game....MOTM in my opinion Very Happy

by Guest Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:08

Cari - agreed Very Happy

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:09

French drop goal coming?

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:10

Yup....

Vickery, how can something go "straight between the middle"?

by Hound_of_Harrow Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:10

And well played Wales. Fully deserved win. thumbsup

by Guest Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:11

ah yeah there's the DG, even tougher ask for England now.

Hound - Hug

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:12

Cheers

by WillyGilly Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:15

Grand stand finish heading up here.

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:18

Is Vickery getting on anyone else's t!ts? He's far too excited for a commentator.

Agreed, but Charteris made 16 tackles in 40 minutes. Unreal number really. Another selection problem for Gatland. Sort that one out fella.

Jamie Roberts' only problem is a busted beak. I'd be very very surprised if that kept him out next week.

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:20

Risca - J-Ro could wear one of those masks like Harinordoquy did in the Heino Very Happy

by Guest Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:20

wow did he really? that's a crazy good stat Rev!

I don't think Luke would have been taken off if he hadn't have taken that knock in the 1st half. I really hope he's okay, his work rate is phenomenal for us.

Yeah, he's too emotionally invested to do the job.

by prop_lyd Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:21

Cari: I'm quite enjoying Vickery...nice to see passion from commentators and he's not as biased as in the group stages!!

by Hound_of_Harrow Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:21

Game over

C'mon Wales!!!

Smile

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:22

Exactly, I'm surprised he hasn't sworn yet.

Parra taking forever to get this over. Looks like a Wales/France semi.

Commiserations England regs Hug

by Cymroglan Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:23

I'm quietly confident.

by WillyGilly Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:23

Oh France. Wow.

So I had an Irish English semi. Couldn't have been more wrong eh?

by **Notch** Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:24

Yeah, unlucky England regs. They've never really put it together for you. Typical French to only turn up now!

France vs Wales should be a very good game though. Looking forward to that.

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:24

Prop - he just gets too shouty for me...I really did expect him to start effing and jeffing.

My SG picks have gone out the window anyway.

by Guest Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:25

England regs Hug

really think that first half cost you Sad

Got to hand it to the French though, they got it right when it mattered.

I'm even more nervous now, I'd have much rather faced England in the semi final.

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:26

No Dreamer, surely being beaten by France is less painful? Smile

by Cymroglan Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:27

I don't mind playing France our own game is good enough.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:28

Gutted, but the reality is we were not good enough. Everything we did smacked of desperation out there.

Well done France.

Could be a corker of a semi.

by littleswannygirl Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:29

Completely agree Pete. Well played France clap

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:30

It looked like France saved their best until later in the tournament. Is everyone going to get up tomorrow for the other QFs?

by **Notch** Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:33

I think I need the sleep tomorrow.

by **Pal Joey** Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:33

Commiserations to the England fans... they never really got into gear and seemed a little off their game.

Congrats to France - they really came out firing and sealed it with those two first half tries.

by Breadvan Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:33

Spot on Ozzy. When you make as many errors and give away stupid penalties as England did then we deserve everything we get. Whats going to happen to the Eng management now??

by **Pal Joey** Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:34

Yes

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:35

I'll be up for the first one, but will be going out when the second one starts.

by littleswannygirl Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:35

I'll be getting up Cari, let's just hope neither of us gets woken up by inconsiderate neighbours!

by Cari Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:35

I might well sleep in tomorrow having only had two hours kip last night. Assuming no one's having a fecking party tonight. furious

Linebreaker...I'd expect you to be up and about anyway! Smile

by **Pal Joey** Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:38

I'm feeling drained already... today just flew past. Already pitch dark here!

by **Pal Joey** Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:48

oops. That emptied the place.

Might go change the kegs now.... Ale

by Guest Sat 8 Oct 2011 - 20:52

really looking to the QF's tomorrow. Really enjoyed the ones today, both fast paced and exciting.

I don't know what to do withmyself today now. Had loads of things lined up to distract me if we lost but I don't seem to want to do any of them now!
