- Places that scream "sports bar" are a good start. Think giant screens, a plethora of beers, and the faint smell of spilled nachos. Places like AJ Hudson's Public House are known for showing rugby. They often have a good atmosphere.
- Irish pubs are your rugby-loving allies. Places like The Abbey Pub are a great place to check. They are known for showing various sports.
- <u>Pro Tip:</u> Call ahead! Don't just stroll in expecting a live feed of the All Blacks versus the Springboks. Confirm they'll be showing the match and, more importantly, if they'll have the sound on. Because watching rugby on mute is like eating a sandwich without the filling – utterly pointless.
