The new few months are enormous for rugby fans. But as good as the on-field action promises to be, with teams starting to reveal the state of their pre-World Cup form, it’ll only be as good as the venue you’re watching it from. So to save you some time and get you to the big screen (and a pint) in the fastest way possible, we’ve found the 10 best sports bars in Singapore, where the matches will be shown live. And, better news, most of them have decent happy hours and special drinks deals during the games. A little video to get you in the mood? Sure.
