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 pictures of
ST DAVID, THE Prince of Wales and WALE'S CAPTAIN

Happy St David's day

BBC Breakfast News - "PC Rathband came to the public eye in 2010..."

FFS, it only requires marginal competence and professionalism to proof read what you intend to say before broadcasting it!

100% in my assessment, smashed it!!!!

Good man Hughie, have a virtual drink on me!

Suspiciously high marks

I dread to think how you managed that

Well done anyway, good initiative shown

STOP PRESS! BREAKING NEWS!

The trio browsed luxurious delights before they were each presented with a Fortnum's hamper, containing delicacies including champagne truffles - and dog biscuits.

The Queen spoke to some of the store's workers including Joan Goff, 86, who as a teenager worked at the store during World War II.

She said she had seen the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, during that time.

"She didn't come very often but I did see her in the shop once or twice," said Mrs Goff.

"Today I told her that I had been here when I was 14 and she said, 'how marvellous'."

Nice work Hughie

Lucky/Glas, I've got posted SXV and Jeff previews for this weekend in the writers' section, do either of you fancy doing a quick Rabocop writeup?

Nice work Hughie if you do head up to Rodney Parade I'll try to clear my diary too!!

Afternoon alll, gorgeous evening for a beer at a gig tonight me thinks

Mark

Dunno if you were up before 6, and heard Radio 4 Glas. There was a piece about Welsh lamb and its 'protected' status in the EU. The astounding fact was 95% of Welsh lamb is eaten outside of Wales. I can't believe you (ewe) guys let so much of it escape your dinner plates!

Heading back to town now, and just passed Asboland, casting a wistful eye in the direction of the CVI.

da iawn Hughie

I don't know about a 'quick' write-up about the Rabo, Kiwi - I'll be honest and say that I don't pay all that much attention to the other teams in the league. If the Dragons were pushing for a play-off spot, I might be paying closer attention!

Mark

what would you want included in the write up Kiwi?

Herself just text me from her sales conference in Limerick. She said Doug Howlett was the guest speaker. Then said he's not a patch on Isa...

The French know their onions.

Ah, the and his ilk have collared it then Glas.

Something similar to the Super XV preview I put up in the review section (and Yappysnap's Jeff preview https://www.606v2.com/t24950-ap-round-17-preview) - a points table, and a paragraph on each match this weekend, with a winner prediction at the end

Mick, she has been Leinstered. No Cork/Munster left in her now.

You must be so proud Bikkies!

Did she mean as a guest speaker?

This place is dead!

Sorry, I let Penfron pick the decor

Evening lads.

Kiwi,

Are you a Crusaders fan?

No, but I could take you to the promised land

MrP, mgiht be a bit annoyed with that!

Yep, born and raised in the region - lived in Marlborough until I was 18, then Christchurch until I was 30.


BTW, for the wall

No need, I'm all talk

Okay,

Soooo,

Matt Sexton?

Any thoughts?

I'm sure you have heard his name bandied about as joining us in some capacity next season.

We are very NH-centric on here and we know who everyone supports at this stage. Well except for Hughie.....

Well, I was pretty sure Kiwi was a Crusader but I didn't want to put my foot in it so...

I meant to add MrsP, that I didn't know it either. Does anyone know if Linebreaker supports a franchise and which one it is?

Yes, the Blues.

Glas a du wrote:Yes, the Blues.

Not quite, though the Waratahs to play in blue

Yes but he also supports the Cardiff Blues. Isn't Patterson a distant cousin?

PS, I'm just dashing off to netball, but Sexton was a very handy player with the Crusaders, often pushing Hammett (who was capped by the AB's) for a Crusaders starting berth. I don't know lots about his coaching, but he'd have to be better than Hammett

Well he played for us too but I was wondering what the fans thought of how he'd got on with your academy.

It is your academy he's been coaching for a while, isn't it?

Swigging Brains St, David's Ale in my local. Brewed for JDW pubs apparently, though Brains must be selling it in their pubs.

Doom Bar winning the vote at the moment (brewed exclusively for Wasps fans )

Aw



Sure the seasons not over yet.

Have you used Ed O'Donaghue much?

Hound, I suspect that you may get back to winning ways this weekend mate, my lot are playing like a bit of a shower at the moment.

Evening all

When we're you last out of the top flight?

Evening pub

Just been to the petrol station and managed to put 33.4 litres into a 30 litre tank Even allowing for the fuel reserve that's seriously running on fumes! Naughty

Had a quick read back,

Kia, congrats on your fantastic news! Knitting's a breeze... so my mum tells me, afraid I can't speak from personal experience.

Rev, great to see you back safe and sound

Hughie, well done you!

Good stuff Hughie

Mrsp - EdOD may well be another one crocked. He's a penalty liability when he does play.

Oz, the team we're able to put out at the moment is way short of AP quality. Wentzel is a huge loss. Elliot Daly may be fit for Saturday though.

Making the tough decision in a chipper is difficult enough, and in one of the best places in Cork it's even tougher, this guy helps you sort it out.

Spoiler:

It was pointed out to me tonight (by someone with a very a angry voice) that I am a man with no principles whatever. I can only apologise if anyone in here has ever put any stock in my opinions or views.

Chin up Willy, who needs morals anyway?

Hughie got 100% in his assignment:

"which side do you get out of the train on?
A the right
B the left
C whichever side the platform is"

PM for Miss Shovey Lover.

What do you do if the EBS switch is activated Glas???



Morning all.


Had q few pints yesterday (hound stuck to the DoomBar in the end) have to go into waterloo for an hour or so this morning then I'm done for the week. Really looking forward to the next few weeks

Panic? Or at the very least run around like a headless chicken in a Cpl Jones manner shouting "Don't panic"?

Tell the stewardess to go back to the buffet car and slam on?

I don't have any stewardess (mores the pity) or a buffet come to think about it
