telegramsam Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hi everyone-start of the international rugby season on Saturday. I know from past threads there are plenty of rugby fans out there.Best pub to watch above match? -especially where they'll be NZers and home support (we're a divided partnership!) for some atmosphere and banter-or should I venture to Clapham or Wimbledon,,,ThanksSam Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14070-eng-v-nz-rugby/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Mac Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Sorry to be a pain but we used to have a great rugby pub in the Magdela, now a non sport pub. Maybe Scott at the Actres (who was very anti sports but whose principles are slipping in our favour) can help. As the matches are in the afternoon it could be a real winner on the trade front.Autumn internationals are great fun and I'm sure there is only one winner of that game !

felt-tip Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 do England still play rugby?I thought we gave up on the 23 November 2003? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14070-eng-v-nz-rugby/#findComment-377790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_carnell Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Best rugby pub imo is Hoopers on Ivanhoe Road. The landlord, Jamie, is a massive rugby fan and has two screens showing the action.He also has an excellent range of beers.The only let down is a lack of food. Last time I went the only offerings were some ropey pies and sausage rolls.

taper Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I endorse Hoopers as the best local in which to watch the rugby. Top beer and a middle aged crowd of rugby know-it-alls and bores just like me!. Beer top notch. Although we're in agreement elsewhere on this Forum David, I must disagree about the pies. In fact there are some that say they are an effective cure for sundry ailments, constipation and ague in particular Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14070-eng-v-nz-rugby/#findComment-377812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

titch juicy Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 the pies being served up for the 6 nations in hoopers were excellent! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14070-eng-v-nz-rugby/#findComment-377846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_carnell Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 From the little counter-top oven-thing? Really?We may have to just agree to differ. Apart from on Hoopers itself.
