The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Shebeen Queen at Ellis Park, Johannesburg

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 below the equator to Ellis Park, Johannesburg to watch the Lions vs the Crusaders. There's also TVs showing Aviva Premiership, Rabobank Pro 12 and other Super XV action.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the pictures of Shane Horgan, Jerry Flannery, Jan Ellis, Errol Tobias, Gary Teichmann or the late Jonny Mitchell on the wall.

So they've done research and concluded that bringing your dog into work reduces stress levels. The bloke overseeing the reseach is Professor Randolph Barker. Is this an early April Fool's joke?

Well, I'll be damned. I could have sworn that Munster v Leinster was on tonight! Thanks Penfro - all is now well. Might even go down the pub tonight.

[So they've done research and concluded that bringing your dog into work reduces stress levels. The bloke overseeing the reseach is Professor Randolph Barker. Is this an early April Fool's joke?] Some places I've worked, literally wouldn't do that to a dog.

Well my staff are tucking into the Magnums I've bought them and I'm sending them home at 4.30.

I wish I had staff. But I wouldn't buy them anything.

I cant help it, I'm such a nice guy.

Thats a really nice thing to do Glas

Just found out there is actually a village called Athenry in Waterford.

So we can continue to use The Fields of Athenry in good faith.

I just tried that iPhone thing off the advert where the guy says "tell me Paris will be nice this weekend" (I did Cardiff instead) and it does work bless it (it's not going to be so nice by the way). Amazing. I then said thank you to it and it replied "that's nice of you to say". Mates for life now.

Obviously trying to kill time till I head for Newport. Come on you Dragons.

Rev, is it all talk that Dragons could end up a "development region" or is there more to it?

Afternoon,
Hope you are all well;back following a 6N exile,but during which proper rugby continued

ASM are putting out a decent team at Biarritz tomorrow in preparation for Sarries/Cardiff/Toulouse. Scroll down,unless you want to read ...

Green is IN
Redis OUT

Then you have the "May be....'

lucky, the last time a bird shat on anything of mine I sacked her.

Bonjour M.

Hound!!

Finally set myself up on Skype, I thought it would be much more complicated then it was!

Will get to chat to my brawd properly now, twill be much better than using the book of face

There is also web chat on fb dreamer ;-)

Skype is much better though

ha yes we use the web chat on fbook, can't see each other though, video will be much better, can actually hear each other then! Will be much easier to speak Welsh that way, rather the both of us attempting to type it (my spelling in it is dreadful)

Alroysh Billy

Sure, the old ones are the best.

The Irish contingent in my pub are grateful that I tipped them off that Munster v Leinster is ib BBC Alba tomorrow. Available on Sky here.

I don't think that's a smart move by the powers that be ahead of the HC Q/Fs.

I will have to live by stream again tomorrow unfortunately. I hope i can find a working one on time though

Evening all

Following on Glas theme of buying his staff things, I bought my team a big box of Krispie Kremes earlier by way of recognition of their hard work this month.

Can't believe the Calum Clark report by the way, utter shambles. The RFU ought to be charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

Skype is pretty good but close all other programs down when you use it dreamer

Ozzy, I heard Clark got a 32 week ban but 'did not intend to cause injury'. Woss that all about?

And Saints are thinking of appealing.

32 weeks is generous given a decent portion of that takes place over the summer. Don't know why the saints are appealing it.

5 points will do lovely tonight for the Ulstermen. Jubly

You guys should check out the report on the Clark thread issued by the RFU. It's practically comical, or it would be if it wasn't concerning such a serious issue.

I kind of expected a ban in that region. Saints should be happy that its only 32 weeks to be honest. What time do Ulster play?

The sanction is not the issue for me, it is the haphazard and frankly laughable way that it has been reached which is the issue. The RFU and HHJ Jeff Blackett have not covered themselves in glory here, nor have Saints or Calum Clark.

NOW Billy!!! ULLLSTEERRR!!!!!!

Shoite, i had best find a link

Rev, don't care what they say, matey, it's nice for you to have a friend

Sent you a PM Billy, not sure how good it is.

Feic all the Ulster regs must be at the game! Jammy feicers!!

I know that Rava is there

ooo Shanks is commentating live for the first time, hope it goes okay for him.

Ah sure, tis only a '70's pop song anyhow, you might as well be singing 'Tiger Feet'.

Its good to see the place empty. Means people are going to games.
The life-blood of it all.

Im tuning into the key game of the night. Warriors v Blues. Really love to see Warriors make it. Im an incurable rugby romantic me. And I think they deserve it too. 1 loss in 14? Amazing.

Mon Warriors!

Connacht winning 13-6. They are sharp, we are terrible. Going to be a long evening.

I am also watching the Warriors Blues match

Tom James has no rugby brain.

Tis 3-3 in the Scarlets match

Ferris off injured. Looks precautionary but it was the ankle or ... gulp...knee.

14-7 to Ulster.

Aironi have scored!!

Not good news that on Ferris, not before next week

Good news it isn't!

17-7. Pienaar Penalty.

Have faith rodders

Rory Best try!

19-6. Lydiate binned. Think this Italian is a bit out of his depth. Still we are rubbish. We will not come back from this.

Thanks Billy .... now the Ulster regs are away I can be honest..... I don't really rate that Ferris guy much anyways.

You might do Rev, you never know

Lydiate YC. Dragons 9-16 Connacht.

Warriors really should have had a try there. They like to keep ball in hand.

Try Warriors? YES!

Gettin me Scots clubs mixed up. Senior moment.

Try Embra?!? you sure??

It's a Flip try get on with it!

Clancy

Bu88er. Thought Id changed it before ye could read it. Sorry Dreamer.

In fairness Glas, it was close.

Terrible Blues scrum, simply awefull.
