    Where to watch the rugby in London?

    By Will last year, mid-October, Comments

    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.
