The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Edinburgh

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 pub has ventured to Edinburgh, as the team has made their first ever Heineken Cup Semi Final.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Martyn Williams, Shane Williams, Paddy Jackson, Paul O'Connell and Tim Visser.

That front row always look illegal to me!

I think they always bore in!

Jiffy taking the urine out of the ref.

"he'll be known as Dudley 'increase the sanction' Phillips"

Class try for Leonard, Edinburgh sub fly half.

I can't believe Treviso have made nothing of all their territory and possession- they've squeezed the pips out of Glasgow. The weegies are so disciplined. A lot to admire in their display.

ooooh Treviso. SHould have scored 3+ tries this half.

Galsgow's defence has been magnificent for them all season, fair play.

Still 5-6?

Oooh, Treviso squeeze a penalty out of a wonderful rolling maul. This should be a gimme...

aye, but oooo penalty to treviso!

Glasgow deliberately pulling down a maul.

Treviso 8 - 6 Glasgow.

6 mins to go.

Treviso 8-6 Glasgow

About 5 mins to go...

Thanks guys.

And Glasgow go right back downfield and win a penalty of their own! Rauridh Jackson to kick...

He's hit the crossbar and out!!

how, seriously, how? was the Glasgow player not holding on there?

no 17 was on his feet for a good 4 seconds competeing for that and nothing, then ref calls for hands in. Hmmmmm.

Jackson kicking at the posts now.


Ooooof that was going well, wide, curled in and off the post, just gathered by Treviso. Jeeeez this is a tense game.

5 minutes to play and Saints 18-10 up after a try by Diggin.

TRY!!!

DTH Van Der Merwe wins the game for Glasgow!! Lovely break!

ooooh crap.

Apart from one run from Hogg, Glasgow have offered absolutely nothing, and they go and blydi score a try.

bah!

well run in mind, shame Williams couldn't make the tackle.

That does sound rather delicious, we're having roasted chicken and potato with my wife's home made sweetcorn bread.

They have defended magnificently though dreamer. Treviso threw this one away- wasted so many chances.

Sound familiar?

Aye I know, it's just so horrible for them.

I did say to my flat mate not 5 mins ago, that after offering nothing in attack, Glasgow would score a try to win.

One of the few times where I don't like being right

Try for Baxter on his 350 th appearance. Chiefs back in LBP territory.

BBC in denial about the Glasgow try.

Final score 17-18 to Saints.

Treviso 8 - 13 Glasgow

Brilliant defending by Glasgow and a well taken try, but oooooh Treviso! so many chances there, they really tried to play all the rugby.

FT Treviso 8-13 Glasgow. Great win for Glasgow, backs against the wall, grit, discipline and much more clinical when it mattered

See Edinburgh got cuffed again. So many heavy defeats in the Pro12 this year for them.

What was the score in that one Notch?

Cardiff Blues 38-13 Edinburgh

What are the last fixtures for Ex and Saints?

Can Ex still pull back the 1 point def?

31-13

No 38-13

Just checked.

Saints are at home to Worchester while Ex have to travel to Saracens!

OK. Tipped them by 17 in SG I think so a slightly better weekend for me than last.

Might change my name to Mr Two Thirds. I'm right on 66.67%. Perfect middle average performance.

That's the hammer! Mid table, the hardest place to be

Only you and me understand how hard it is.

Where is everyone? Having dinner?

Literally just feeling like myself again after about a 25 minute shower.

Had a top night out last night, followed by a nice fry up this morning and a bit of 606-ing and reading lounged on the couch.

Just starting Engage by Matt Hampson. Im gonna do a review of it for my blog.

Dreamer - they would have been chanting "Leone !! Leone !!" Italian for "Lions !! Lions !!" Look at their badge

Arghhhh, power cut can't get through to report it because of useless voice recognition software

Seems like the lines are totally jammed anyway. Finally got through, over 6000 in South Belfast afffected!

Hmm, it didn't sound like it started with an L, Penfro, but that would make more sense.

It was Lee-on-ee, I'm pretty sure I remember I saw that being pointed out to someone confused as to why Treviso fans chanted 'Aironi' at every game on this board earlier in the season

That's what they were chanting when I was there

NUGGET with hair !!!! On Scrum V now

Made a thread for Ulster vs Edinburgh chat, otherwise I'll just clutter this thread up

Last post about it in here for a long while

Highlights of that fluke Stag was on about. In honesty Munster were lucky to come second.

Oh well, a day of mixed emotions. On the one hand I've orgnaised the lettuce leaf for the veggies to share for Heino final weekend; on the other, one of my teams over-reached and the other showed why they deserve the playoffs

Blydi veggies, harrumph.

They do deserve the play offs. Good unit.

Precisely, Glas, bliwdy spoiling them! Nevermind, keg of Decuhars should sort folk out!

Which one was which Asbo?

Glas,



Rees used to be very quick didn't he?

I might just watch those highlights on a loop....


Glasgow deffo deserve the play offs Asbo, for their defence alone this season, they have been such a tough, tough side to break down. Players like Hogg coming through too, good for the future

although re-reading it, did you mean glasgow?
