I watched Ireland win the grand slam in here, hundreds of people roaring, as close as you get to match atmosphere in a pub!

Thank you, I'll give it a try. I hope it replicates the atmosphere or eng v Wales at Aberystwyth university. Miss that kind of banter. Don't get it in Devon

orange tree is great but it'll be absolutely rammed before and after the game, it's one of the major Richmond watering holes at the start of the route to Twickenham.

If you're in that part of the world, I'd suggest heading over the A316 and watching it in one of the bars at Richmond FC, there'll be big screens there and you'll be able to get to the bar! You can see the place where Delon Armitage and Joe Simpson started their rugby careers too.

I agree the orange tree in Richmond is awesome =] I like the Barmy Arms as well
