Where is everyone watching the rugby on Saturday?

[Mscrawthew]

Just got this in my email, if anyone is interested!

England v France

Sing at the top of your voice, shout like there's no tomorrow and roar with the crowd at The O2 this Saturday at 8pm.

The Big Match. Even Bigger

If you thought the English pack were big, wait till you see them 20 feet tall on the big screen. If you can't be at the Stade de France, be at The O2 for this free event.

From 6pm, enjoy the pre-match build up hosted by Mark Durden-Smith followed by live screening of the match. Kick off at 8pm.

Be at the biggest gathering of England fans outside of Paris, as you swell with pride singing God Save The Queen and Swing Low Sweet Chariot

or come round my gaff and quaff a beer with me whilst we watch England squeak an ugly 2-point victory

[Jah Lush]

I'm not sure where I'll be watching it yet but think you might like this.

Gingerbread Haka

[Annasfield]

^^ Brilliant!>:D

[SimonM]

I thought the Haka lost all its remaining credibility a few years back when, before the France v NZ game, some of the French players generally minced around a bit and blew kisses to the All blacks Corps de Ballet as they performed their risible pre-match routine...

[Mscrawthew]

:))Where is everyone watching the FINAL >:D

[giddygecko]

OMG that was tense!!!! & I missed the first 20 mins thanks to Pizza Pan on Barry Rd taking so b****y long to cook a measly little 9inch pizza :-S. So in the event of jumping around the living room ecstatically I missed who, where & what time our lads will be kicking ass next weekend... Please enlighten me?

Cheers GG

Come on Brendan, I'm sure Jonnie will manage one kick before he gets injured.

Not this time mate.

Ancient Chinese proverb say: Key to victory is learning from past mistakes.

Ancient Andrew Sheridan proverb say: Key to victory is trampling all over Schalk Burghers face.

[Brendan]

Was it not Confucius who said that, ?Pre-match sledging is much fun almost as fun as watching South African juggernaut trampling all over puny English rugby team whose pretty white clothes will need much Daz? to achieve whiteness once more after game.?

Although I am sure it is also written somewhere, ?Maketh sure that if thow art going to be a cocky bastard in the land of thine enemy that thow chooseth a seat near the door and wears thine running shoes for there are those who would administer a contritional wedgy which would greatly tear thine springbok underpants. Yea verily.?

[citizenED]

The latter of which the author might wish to adhere to...for a voice two octaves higher might not deliver such cockiness with so much aplomb!

[Brendan]

hmmm... I wonder where that old cricket box of mine is.

On second thoughts i may just watch it at home.

[Brendan]

Someone mentioned that they have put some tellies in the plough for the rugby. Are they sufficient? Will it be worthwhile watching the game there? Anyone watched one of the games there?

[SeanMacGabhann]

They have put tellies in (nice old -skool ones too) dotted around the place. But I haven't seen them in action

They struck me as a rather civilised option

[Brendan]

I think I've seen them. In the conservatory? So you can sit there like it's your livingroom.

[SeanMacGabhann]

One in the "dark half"

One in the "big window by the front"

and one in the conservatory I think

This is sounding like Cluedo now

[Brendan]

Mr MacGabhann in the Conservatory with a pint of Guinness?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Fraid I won't be making it aht and abaht on Saturday evening - but good luck to both sides!

(and you'll never see me with a pint of Guinness! Even if I drank stout, as a Corkonian I would be on The Murphy's or Beamish)

[david_carnell]

The Gowlett are showing it too, on their big screen. Think I might be going there.

[citizenED]

Obviously then, Mr MacGabhann in the conservatory murdering a pint of Murphy's

[Keef]

Myself and about 10 others will be watching it in the CPT, so if anyone wants to join us we'll be trying our best to take over the bar and secure a good viewing area :)-D

[Brendan]

I?ve got a few people coming from weird and wonderful places like Beckenham and Croydon to watch it in ED. I don?t know whether to take them to the CPT or the Plough. The Plough is easier for people to find I guess but I prefer the CPT.

[Keef]

You know it makes sense Bendan!
