thanks

Downtime

Can't recommend any but here are some outside london and two in London http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/rugby_pubs_in_london_index.html

also http://www.citypublife.co.uk/ - the Hogs Head is a good place.

going to try and find a pub near twickenham. Although I hear a lot of them tend to be booked out by promotions companies etc

Waxy's Definitely
It's halfway between Leicster Sq and Picadilly

Go down to the end bar and there should be a good athmosphere, should be fairly packed though so you might want to be in before 5:30.

Or if you want to get a tube to Richmond Molly's is probably better:

With all due respect, don't go next nor near Waxys. I know people who went in there for a drink in 2003 and still haven't come out. Or gotten that drink. It's far too big.

A lot of pubs down Richmond/twickenham way will be jammers, and getting too/from will be painful...

If you want a decent pint in a great pub then there's a cracking boozer in Wandsworth called tir na Nog. It's on Garret Lane...so at that big shopping centre thing, head down towards sainsburys and it's a few hundred yards down the road. Great pint of Guinness in there, and pretty much every night is a lock-in. And if you don't fancy staying there, you're an asses roar from the trainline that'll take you down to the post match craic in richmond/putney etc

I was just going to mention that Ruggie. I was in twickenham 2 years ago when we won and met all the lads in the Alex after the game - it wasn't jammed but there was a great atmosphere.

Don't go near Waxys - the place will be packed to the rafters. Its a tourist trap anyway.
