Where in the world can I watch the rugby?

Posted Thursday, October 18, 2007, 7:22 PM by Lonely Planet

The Rugby World Cup wraps up this weekend with England vs. South Africa (9pm in France) but if you can't make it to Saint Denis there are other options for a bit of rugger action...wherever you are in the world.



These Thorn Tree travellers reckon you should be able to find a television showing the final and a decent pint at the following bars:

Escocia Pub in Parque Lleras and Champions Bar in Belen in Medellin, Colombia (kiwipaisa)

Flannerys Irish Geo Pub in Santiago, Chile - though no Guinness! (martinflannery)

Celtics Pub (ph: 5211-9081; Tamaulipas 36 Colonia Condesa) in Mexico City (longford)

Roisin Dubh (22 Warren St between Church and Broadway) in NYC (kiwiinnewyork)

Rum Doodle Bar (or bar next to it) in Kathmandu, Nepal (moileroi)

The British Lion (in Rick's Complex, next to the theatre) or in Dubliners near Floyen in Bergen, Norway (alfhelge)

Cafe de Livre which is in the patio of Hotel Toulousain (new town) in Marrakesh, Morocco (mart)

Irish Pub (Lopez Mezquita, 9) in Granada, Spain (gusrez)

The Blarney Stone (Dongping Lu, between Hengshan Lu and Fenyang Lu) or O'Malley's (Taojiang Lu, between Hengshan Lu and Wulumuqi Lu) in Shanghai, China (brucemclaughlin)

And if all else fails... get thee to the nearest Irish bar!
