Rugby World Cup in East Dulwich

[85volga]

WTF - why is it so hard to find a pub in East Dulwich this afternoon showing the rugby world cup games on a decent size screen with the sound on! I get that there is football on too, but surely the pubs could find someway of ensuring that at least one place is doing the rugby games justice. Its the World Cup - the chance for the minnows to have a bite at the big boys - Japan beating South Africa being a wonderful example. We should be making the most of these games whilst we host the tournament.

Agree. Some good games all weekend probably not being shown but that's the market.

Why don't you go to Putney, Twickenham or wherever to watch the rugby on pub televisions. People in East Dulwich prefer football, as do most people.

I was in The Florence yesterday in Herne Hill - rugby on big screens with sound all afternoon - they are showing all the games apparently

"People in East Dulwich prefer football, as do most people" Nice statement..........

[mima08]

The Gowlett said they'll show all games - every single one, they promised :)

Chief - no need to be rude.

OP - try the Actress also.

Used to see the KCHRFU down the Bishop all the time.

And 6 Nations EDT used to be one of the big London pubs to watch

(was known as so on Wales rugby forums).

Didn't the Flying Pig have a sign saying they were showing all the games? Or was it just the England games? Think I also saw the screen in the Lordship Pub with the game on when I went past on Sunday.

I do miss Hoopers for the rugby :(

Well Bishop facebook says

"All RWC games shown here & to top it off you can get your mate a free Guinness!"

Not sure what conditions are to get a free Guinness - maybe pay double for the first one :).

[TigerTraveller]

The Cherry Tree is showing all RWC games live.

Its exactly that apathetic attitude to the biggest sporting event this country has hosted since the Olympics that annoys me. Yes, more people play & follow football, but maybe, just maybe we should just try to get behind this event, and all it brings, instead of telling people to "go to Putney".

We've got 2 international teams training in our area (Australia & Romania both at Dulwich college) and things like this:

going on. So, if it means I may need to miss a Crystal palace game in the pub one night, I'm quite happy to do so

I think Dulwich Plough is showing all the games as well. They certainly had a game on last night ( France v Romania) though was a bit drowned out by live music.
