    I shall move this to the rugby board as you will have a better chance of getting an answer there

    If you cannot get the match in spain you can still listen to it on www.live95fm.ie

    About halfway down the Ramblas, coming from Placa Catalunya, there's a street on the left just before Placa Real that has a KFC on one corner and a McDonalds on the other. Down that street are 5 Irish pubs within about 100 metres of each other, all will have it on.

    I'm in Boston for the HEC final... can anyone suggest any good pubs to watch it in?

    Anyone planning on watching the match in Dublin? not much of a pub goer and not drinking at the mo, so any ideas where the best place might be this Saturday?
    Would love to go the Limerick and might yet if Dublin does not look like much crack.

    Teg,

    Just put in a local ZIP code (or any Boston ZIP for that matter) into this site, and you'll find all the local bars with a Setanta subscription. They (Setanta North America) are showing it live.

    Just call the bar in advance to confirm they're (a) open, and (b) showing it. If it's a genuine Irish bar, especially in Boston, then it will definitely be on, if it's a plastic paddy bar, then I wouldnt be so sure it will be open at that hour in the morning. One thing is certain, if there's one city that you wont have an issue finding a place to watch the game, it's Boston

    Scobies, excellent Irish bar - actually had Irish people behind the bar :p
    http://www.scobiesirishpub.com/find.asp Definitely will show the match.

    McCarthy's Bar was very friendly too but can't actually remember if there was tvs but I'm sure there is.

    I've only gone into one of the pubs where zaph outlined - we pretty much ran out of there after the first drink - I think we were unlucky but the pub we picked didn't seem to have anything Irish about it at all. Think it was called the Blarney or something generic like that - so avoid that one :)

    There's Michael Collins(i think) pub on the square near Gaudi's Sagrada Familia church. Good atmosphere in there!
