#  Where To Watch The Six Nations  


 The dust has settled on last year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan and now it’s time for the 2020 Six Nations. As Wales try to hold onto the trophy, there are some big games ahead and lots of venues around town are getting in on the action. From a Guinness Village to a Legends Lunch, here’s where you can watch the tournament unfold.  
 

 



 

 



 

 

 

 

## BEST FOR FOOD WITH YOUR RUGBY

#####   
BRIGADIERS X GUINNESS

Where there’s rugby, there’s Guinness. This year it has teamed up with Brigadiers, which is laying on dedicated matchday menus and a series of Friday ‘Lunches with a Legend’. This City restaurant is from the same stable as Gymkhana and Trishna, and the food is appropriately outstanding. Alongside dishes like Nargisi kofta venison scotch eggs and Brigadiers butter chicken pot pie, you can take advantage of a Guinness Butler service that delivers drinks direct to your table. Its ‘Lunches with a Legend’ feature big-name ex-pros such as Jason Robinson (7th February) and Jamie Heaslip (21st February). Tickets are £100pp and include a three-course meal with beer pairings.

#####   
THE ALEXANDRA

Slightly out of the fray, The Alexandra in Clapham is a lively pub showing the rugby on a couple of big projectors and five HD screens. It’s a proper local (with regular punters propping up the bar), serving premium beers and a recently updated menu of classic pub snacks and pizzas. There’s a private space upstairs for small functions and group watching of the Six Nations.
