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 pictures of Doug Howlett above the bar!


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

Aye, it's the "Culchie Cultural Experience" for us this weekend. Turnip soup, Turnip fricasse, Turnip & Cheese board, all washed down with Turp(nip)s

A "Nordie Expedition" would probably be over the weekend of 25th Feb (Ulster v O's), but Ireland are at 'home' to Italy that weekend too . Will also depend on the 'work' situation, as I am hoping to get back into freelancing in the New Year. Will keep you posted

I'd second that, but it's slap bang in the middle of lambing. I'm only managing Dublin for the 6 Nations because it's very early Feb.

(don't forget the Veuve C Ravs!)

Stag was saying he’ll probably be going to that game and have a ticket for me.

Pints!

I seem to remember that Stag mentioned getting me a ticket for that match too on the weekend, will have to double check with him. Would love to get over for that one though.

Excellent! Ask Stag if he can get you onto the trip he arranged for us Dreamer. Open invite to any Welsh regs if he can.

Micky Marsbar - you bet!

Ravs, I'd buy you a big one

Hi all.

Couldnt be bothered pretending to be Munsty. Stag here.

I have 8 tickets ordered. Glas is using 4. Mickado and me have one each and I think Rava is taking two. So yea should have one for the self styled Shovey Lovey.

Dragons v Scarlets on 30th December: do any regs want me to get them tickets for that?

BTW Penfro,

No turnips

If Glas has 4, you and Mick have 2, and Rava has 2....how is there still one spare? or am I being daft?

and less of the shovey lovey stuff please!

Keith Earls has been included in the 29 strong Munster squad named this morning for the Heineken Cup round four game at Thomond Park Stadium on Sunday (12.45).

Earls came through the squad training session in UL yesterday and if he does likewise in tomorrow's run could be a contender for a place in the match day squad with Tony McGahan adding "We've to wait and see, he's been out of action for three to four weeks, so we'll have to see how he gets on in training for the rest of the week."

Munster Squad (29): Marcus Horan, Wian du Preez, Stephen Archer, John Hayes, BJ Botha, Denis Fogarty, Damien Varley, Donncha O'Callaghan, Donnacha Ryan, Paul O'Connell, Mick O'Driscoll, Ian Nagle, Billy Holland, Denis Leamy, Niall Ronan, James Coughlan, Tommy O'Donnell, Tomas O'Leary, Conor Murray, Ian Keatley, Ronan O'Gara, Johne Murphy, Denis Hurley, Scott Deasy, Simon Zebo, Will Chambers, Lifeimi Mafi, Danny Barnes, Keith Earls.


Bit of a big risk including Earls if you ask me.

bit of a big risk...

Shovey Lovey? That's almost as bad as Radio 1's 'Festive Festival'

"what's that you've got?"

"it's a cupesque cup"

Earls should not be playing and I hope he doesn't. No way is he fully fit.

I didn't think he was Thomond. Am sure Stag was mentioning that originally he was only meant to be due back start of January, and that was an optimistic view on it.

Afternoon peeps.

I would think that quite a few of the Irish regs have heard this before. It was on a cabbie's radio in Dubai; coincidentally when were heading to The Irish Village.

Not one of your's I hope Mrsp

Looks like your question was answered, Hughie!

Speaking of Lions, I put Eric Miller down on the Name Game Sports Stars thread, then I Googled him and it turns out he played Gaelic football after he'd finished playing rugby union. I never knew that.

Right, been in Llanelli so will pass the Turk Warehouse shortly. They were putting a plaque up when I was on my way down. I wonder what it says? Any ideas...

Hughie the sex beast woz here

No Admittance.

Dim mynediad.

He played gealic before and after he played rugby.

He played for a club called Ballyboden St Enda’s, which (they say) is the largest sports club in the world in terms of active playing members. They’ve 90+ teams in all sports and at all age grades. It’s only a few miles from where I grew up.

Why not? The man's an expert in these matters.

Or maybe it says,

"No negative rugby allowed! Unless you play for the Scarlets in which case we will call it "Playing what's in front of you!" and praise you as the true keepers of the spirit of the game!"

Or else it says: "The ref is always biased against us"

Well I didn't know that either!

There is a Hurling Trophy named after Edward Lord Carson!

Caused all sorts of upset that did!

You're sure it wasn't Frank, MrsP ?

It might have been him that thought it up alright!

It's the way he tells 'em!

We had quite heavy snow this morning and Mrs R spent an hour just standing looking through the window.



I took pity on her and let her back inside!!

Evening all, not a bad day at safeguarding training.

MrsP i see your online, you may be able to help (sorry not a great story) my gran fell yesterday and now needs a hip replacement, reckon she'd be home for Christmas? Most of my family seem uncertain and I know if i ask in here some'll know bit of a

I'm so sorry to hear that Prop.

I'm assuming she has broken her hip?

It really depends on how soon they can manage to operate. How is her health generally?

Dad had a hip replaced a couple of years back and wasn't in for very long.

Prop, sorry to hear about your gran. My joke was badly timed, sorry.

Nah don't worry rava made me chuckle!!

Cheers for the ncie comments guys, she's pretty strong willed so should be out before christmas fingers crossed.

Best get ready for rugby training now anyone fancy bringing me some of chef's special drink to warm me up during it?!

sorry to hear about your Gran prop. When my great grandma broke hers think she was in for a couple of weeks, but then, she loved all the attention of being in a hospital so that maybe accounted for her being in so long. Hopefully she'll be out before Christmas for you

I think it all depends on what kind of replacement she needs prop, if it's the entire hip joint it could be a little longer. My mam had both of hers done a few years back and was only in for a week.

Sorry to here she fell, was only telling Amanda about my nana falling a few years back, she's got a panic alarm thing around her neck and I got a call that something happened. Had to sprint over to her place and found her in the garden, god love her. She was ok in the end though, turned 92 on Monday. Legend of a woman!

You are very lucky to have a sensible Nana Bikkies.

Often you discover that the panic alarm is sitting in the hall because they didn't want to damage it by taking it outside!
