Not all balls are round… indeed sophisticated sports lovers are known to prefer the elegant ellipsoid scrummed over by two savage packs of eight. If you’re one of them, here is our list of bars that will be screening the Six Nations Rugby on TV during winter 2022.
Wales are the tournament’s defending champions, but the bookies make France the favourites, with strong English and Irish teams also in the mix. Of course, anything is possible in sports!
The action kicks off on Saturday 5th February with a double header of Ireland vs. Wales, followed by Scotland vs. England. Here’s where you can catch all the action:

5. Obama Gastropub
What goes well together with the rugby? A delicious burger, fish’n’chips or tenderloin steak (in our humble opinion).
