    Porterhouse in Covent Garden was/is Leinster supporters' club base. That'd be my first port of call.

    That's actually where I tend to go when I'm there - didn't realise! Excellent thanks :)

    Philomena's is another good spot for rugby, close by too.

    Theres a website which tells you what pubs are showing which sports in London, you could just google it on saturday and it will find the pubs close to you showing the game.

    I'm sure lots a places will show the start, but I'm worried that once the champions league final starts they'll switch channels, and I'll miss the end!! Looking for devoted pubs

    I’d say most pubs would leave it on one screen if you ask.

    Not sure I’d count on that. Rugby is pretty niche in London outside England internationals. Even then most pubs will show the football.

    Porterhouse and Philomenas will definitely show the matches with good supporting crowds in central locations. Both can get busy though. Faltering fullback in North London will also show it.

    Was over in London for the Scottish game and the pub had some United game on. They had advertised on that site though that they’d be showing the 6nations. When we went in the rugby was only on one screen until the football ended. I think if they put it on that site, they will show it at least on one screen. But the op could always ring ahead and ask. All depends on where they’re staying if the porterhouse is accessible or is a good bit away.

    I've messaged the Porter house and checked already! I definitely would prefer to watch it with sound on and on a screen larger then my work monitor.

    Watched the last game in O'Neill's (Irish chain), they will definitely show it.

    Matchpint is the website.

    Philomena's or porterhouse in central London.

    There's a few more local places which will sort you out too if you want to stay close enough to something particular.
