Rugby Forum Beers - 28th September -Beggars Bush (Jack Ryans)

Amz

The GAA lads have been having regular meet ups, the soccer lads regular bust ups, how about we show 'em all how it's done and have a rugby forum meet up?

Would anyone be interested?

Dublin, or Cork might be most practical (I know some of you would rather Oz, or the UK, but let's be realistic)

If there's enough interest we can sort something out I'm sure.

I'll say yeah. Even though I'm not a very active boards member and I'm fare new to rugby.

gcgirl

Nay

I'm in!!

I'm not a very active member of this forum, but i'm big into rugby, so i would happily come along if nobody minded

Jilm

Nay

I'd imagine there would be more interest when the new season starts up.

Jigsaw

I'd certainly be interested if it was in Dublin. I live in Belfast so would be a bit too much effort to travel further afield.

pucan

You should try an organise a "tag rugby and beers" bbq for a saturday or sunday.
Not that i'll be going or anything.

zAbbo

Nay

I'd go, Dublin please.

Also bring that fupper who owe's us all a pint for NZ choking at the RWC.

The tag rugby and beers aint a bad idea.

Most random reply I've ever seen

The first interpro of the Season is Leinster v Munster, which also happens to be the 2 biggest supported teams on this forum. Maybe it would be good to have the beers around that night before / after the game as a lot of people will be around and I'm sure the lads from down south might be making a trip up to Dublin that weekend anyway, probably the most practical way of accomodating everybody.

If it was in Horse Show house or Paddy Cullens, I'm sure half of us would be in there anyway...game isn't until 26th September though...so maybe would be better for a follow up beers or something...

Grr! Where was this when I was at home?!?!:mad:

If the event happened to fall on the only 2 weeks I will be home this year then Id love to go.
Around Sept, I could wow everyone with travvellers stories of oval ball from the other side of the world...........

DId you know they dont have scrums here, no line outs either and they are missing 4 men from the field of play !!


Oh yeah thats league!!

And then there is that other game ...:rolleyes: dont get me started.

Danger_Dave

Nay

Yes from me ! . Dublin please. Would be good to see some of the people who post outlandish comments on the forum . You people know who you are !

Tag Rugby and beers ain't a bad idea at all, however, the fat boys amongst us might just have the beers and watch the tag, if that's okay.

Vaggabond?

Tag rugby or else going to the Leinster Munster match is a great idea!

Amz

Nay

I'm not quite sure tag would work out too well, we'd all need tag shorts/tags etc. What if people get hurt (lets face it, it happens) There are at least 2 girls signed up for this too, so how would we fit in, we know how competitive you boys get when you're proving your manliness to each other, I'd rather not get smashed like I did a few times this tag season by "over eager" lads.

Going to the game or meeting before/after (both!) sounds like it could be a plan.

We could meet nearer the city centre too, as it's impossible to get in and find people in the pubs around the RDS on match day. So I can't imagine how hard it will be to find people you don't know

zAbbo

Nay

Yeah that would probably work best, so thats the 2nd week in September then

[Jackass]

Nay

If it's the interpro (Leinster V Munster) it's the last weekend in September, more than likely the Saturday 27th September.

If it's the first home game for Leinster (presuming we're having it in Dublin? ) vs Edinburgh, it's the second weekend in September. My guess would be the Friday 12th September.

Personally, for what it's worth, I reckon we're better off waiting until the Munster game to give the lads in Red extra incentive to come (like they need it!! ). But possibly a mini meet up for the Edinburgh game could be kind of cool I suppose if ye like, just throwing it out there.

Amz

Nay

Yeah, well the Leinster V Munster game is the obvious choice to get maximum attendance I reckon. But provided it wouldn't affect that attendance a mini beers could work if people wanted to arrange something.

zAbbo

Nay

Well, I'm up for any pre home-game meetup.

There are probably more Connacht supporters up in Dublin than there are in Connacht.

Danger_Dave

Ye id be up for a mini- beers before the madness of a Leinster/Munster Game. City Centre is a must, The bull and castle near Christ church ?

marco_polo

Nay

Not been around here much recently but I'd be interested in this beer thingy :pac:.

damnyanks

Nay

sounds good as long as its sometime after aug

Amz

Nay

Coola boola, seems like we've a nice little posse interested.

Do people want to suggest venues, either Dublin city centre, or near to the RDS without being completely jammers on match day?

We can have a recon mission for the first home game and suss out options before the Leinster Munster game if ye like

RuggieBear

Nay

ryans of beggarsbush on haddington road is nearby, decent and really cheap. (3.90 a pint)

Amz

Nay

I like it!

zAbbo

Nay

Yeah, thats a nice little spot, and close enough to the RDS.

So we're set on the Leinster v Munster game or some other date?

Amz

Nay

According to the internet, the Leinster V Munster game will take place on Sunday 28th of September at 7pm. Is Sunday a practical day for a beers like this, or would people prefer to do it on a Saturday/Friday (even the 27th) instead. I'm happy with any evening, but thinking of those who might be travelling up from Munster etc. it might not suit.

yeah setanta have really ****ed over the fans (Particularly Munster fans) for this one.

Amz

Nay

Yeah, it's a poor fixture really. Thought it was a mistake first, but checked a few sources to be sure.

damnyanks

Thats loads of time to get better for Monday.

zAbbo

Nay

That's a terrible time, moved surely for the football

Danger_Dave

Nay

This sounds Bad ! However Im sure we can all go into work on monday with hangovers. Are we going to have a pre beer session at the Edinburgh game to test out venues etc etc :P

gcgirl

Nay

that sounds good!!!

zAbbo

Nay

Oh I'll still go

Amz

Nay

I don't see why a "recon mission" would be out of the question.

Amz

Nay

Stickied.

Amz

Nay

Ok, so the venue is Beggars Bush aka Jack Ryans on Haddington Road, Ballsbridge Dublin 4.

Map and details of the location can be found here

Hopefully we'll see a few of you before or after the match.

Trojan

Nay

I'm on for both (recon mission and the event in question).

+1 Should be good fun

Amz

Due to lost ATM card incident I haven't managed to get tickets for any of the upcoming games. May not make the recon mission (any excuse eh?) but will definitely be at the main ones, even if it is just as seat minder while you guys are at the game

zAbbo

Was the mission a success?
