Loading ...you have no idea how hard it has been to track down a pub here in Victoria BC thats showing the game. It seemed like such a good idea at the time to have a holiday during the world cup final. There was no chance of us ever making the final was there.
Where to watch the rugby in London?

Right then. It’s a big one tomorrow for the Rugby World Cup Final. Me and my mate have come up with what we consider to be a definitive list of must-haves for a venue in London:
1) Pub atmosphere. A pub, then.
2) Reasonable quantity of South African supporters, but no more than 50%. And that includes those behind the bar.
3) Decent Guinness, and not the extra-cold filth
4) Decent Youngs, Adnams or other draft and a fine selection of snackage
5) Not massively packed. Yeah, ok – stupid request
6) Easy access to outside for the socially retarded smokers like me
7) Oh, and a TV would be useful too
8 ) Unattached ladies to court. Sloanies need not apply. (No funnies about Soho please)
The O2 centre was mentioned but I’m not going all that way. I want it to be central in case we lose and need to drink into the wee hours. In fact, that applies for both eventualities.
So come on – by this time tomorrow I want a choice of at least 10 ideas.

Just to let you know, Will, that here in my corner of Oz, we’re all hoping the South Africans thrash you again

According to the page you linked to, Rugby is a Sloaney school. So no Rugby-ers at the rugby, I guess…

I’m in Edinburgh. The sound of schadenfreudic cheering is still ringing in my ears.

Well, I don’t know about Steve, but I have roots in South Africa, and they’re a Southern Hemispheric team, which is good enough for me. So..YEEHAW! Boks 15, Wilkinson 6!

After last time Will? No way. Yay saffers. Really though, it was a matter of picking the lesser of two evils.
