    Ask a few of the Irish bars, though I've no idea if they'll be open as early as 6AM (or if they'll stay open as late as 6AM, whichever :)).
    Theres this place near Piazza Venezia which has about 10 big screens and has satellite stations.

    I'm curious about the points system.

    Ireland seems to have eight points after winning two games.

    Russia has one point after winning one game.

    I can't find a site that give's a dummies guide to the system – could somebody point me to one?

    You get 4 points for a win, 2 for a draw and 0 for a loss.

    However, bonus points are also awarded.

    1 bonus point for 4 or more tries.
    1 bonus point for losing by 7 or fewer points.

    Ireland won two games so picked up 4 points for each. They did not manage to score a total of 4 or more tries so gained no bonus points.

    Russia have lost their only game so were awarded 0 points. However, they lost by within the 7 point margin so received a single bonus point.

    More info here!

    Win: 4 Points
    Loss: 0 Points
    Draw: 2 Points

    Score four tries or more: 1 Point(Bonus)
    Lose by seven or less: 1 Point(Bonus)

    Slightly OT:p

    Edit: Beaten to it

    I watched the France warm-up match there, they'd definitely be showing it if open.
