Watching the Six Nations Rugby 2008

Ok, so it's that time of year again, although it does seem earlier this year, for England to get humiliated in the Northern Hemisphere's Premiere Event, The 6 Nations Tournament.

As per the Rugby World Cup, i will be booking tables at Molly Malones for these games and would appreciate some kind of idea what interest there is before booking said bums on seat places.

Dunno if a signup sheet is really req'd but it would be useful if you could at least put down an idea of which dates you are likely to need use of a pew.

Fixtures and dates are as below:

Saturday 02.02.08

* 15:00 - Ireland v Italy (Croke Park)
* 17:30 - England v Wales (Twickenham)
Sunday 03.02.08

* 16:00 - Scotland v France (Murrayfield)
Saturday 09.02.08

* 15:00 - Wales v Scotland (Millennium Stadium)
* 18:00 - France v Ireland (Stade de France)
Sunday 10.02.08

* 16:30 - Italy v England (Stadio Flaminio)
Saturday 23.02.08

* 16:00 - Wales v Italy (Millennium Stadium)
* 18:00 - Ireland v Scotland (Croke Park)
* 22:00 - France v England (Stade de France)
Saturday 08.03.08

* 14:15 - Ireland v Wales (Croke Park)
* 16:15 - Scotland v England (Murrayfield)
Sunday 09.03.08

* 17:00 - France v Italy (Stade de France)
Saturday 15.03.08

* 15:00 - Italy v Scotland (Stadio Flaminio)
* 16:00 - England v Ireland (Twickenham)
* 18:00 - Wales v France (Millennium Stadium)

Here we go again then.

Dave, put me down for a seat for the lot please. Cheers

Good man.
Put me down for Italy v England on 10.02 and Super Saturday on 23.02. After that we'll see. Ta

I hope I am speaking for Scogs when I ask for two seats on 9 March Scotland v England.

Thanks a mill , put me + 1 down for , 2nd feb , 8th march and 15 march , Im going to Rome and hope to be going to Paris ! do you book the seats near the big screen or near the flatscreen ( my preference ,better quality ! ).

I still have 2 spare tickets for Rome if anyones interested !

Ps kick off time corrections , Fr Eng is 21.00 , It Scot is 14.00

Usually book the seats next to the big screen so you don't have to wade through the crowds when you need to go to the loo and it's right next to the bar too.

Hi bluedave.

Please put me down - plus 1, for all the Saturday games.

I may want to request a 3rd seat at a later date if some still available.

Looking forward to it!

cheers.

TC

Count me in 4 a seat please!!

Ta

Please put me down for 2 seats on the first Saturday (2 Feb). And thanks.

@Bluedave, Pencil me in for :-

Sunday 3rd Feb. Scotland vs France
Sat 9th Feb. Wales vs Scotland
Sat 23rd Feb. Ireland vs Scotland
France vs England
Sat 15th Mar. All games

I haven't forgotten the Scotland vs England game,I'll be in Edinburgh that WE

Some of the other games are also possible,but won't know until nearer the time.

Cheers

Slightly ( very slightly ) off topic , anyone know if any pub is showing Leicester - Leinster followed by Munster - Wasps from 16.30 on Saturday ? Munster Wasps has the potential to be better than any 6 nations match , but unfortuantely clashes with football ( Newcastle - Bolton ) which often has precedence in many pubs , so thanks in advance for any infos !

Just seen that the London Irish game is on live from 14.30 too ...(thinks !! 6 hours live , rugby 2-3 pints an hour , great training for super saturday !! ))) any one else interested in a marathon sesh ... if there's going to be a pub showing the games ...

Incidently a kiwi told me that rugby in maori translates as Heavens Game ...

Sorry but someone else is going to have to take this on and organise it.

Hey lad, if any seats count me in. Thanks. If not I will have to watch in solitude in me own flat !!

Ireland will win when it dont really matter...a 6 nations is a poor cousin to a World Cup...

Will Keydeck be running his excellant tipping competition again ?

The only thing Keydeck will be tipping is a helles. Maybe even multiple hellesesses.
For the competition, 6 Nations Rugby 2008 - Predict-a-Score.

So sorry Joliet !

Usually the games are shown in Ned Kellys and/or in Irish Folk Pub...

I'm in for the Eng v Wal on the 2nd...and the Sco v Fra on the 3rd...thx

I was in Mollys last night and have booked 5 tables for us for every game for the championship, that's ca. 30 seats so come on ya buggers you better turn up.

Awesome!
What time are you people turning up on Saturday?

Do they serve good food at Mollies?
If getting food is usually choatic at Mollies on a match day, then i'll grab a stinking smelly pizza before i leave home!

The food is good and plenty of it, i can particularly reccomend the Shepherd's Pie as a good beer soaker upper.

Can't wait! Bring it on!!

If people know what times they will turn up please let us know. First game starts 3pm Germany time.

I dont know any TTers yet and i dont fancy turning up too early sat on my own, on one of five empty tables looking like Billy No Mates!

cheers guys.

Why not? This is Germany not the UK, turning up to a pub and sitting on your own is not stigmatised. Take a newspaper if you're really worried. Or you could always do something revolutionary like order a beer to keep yourself occupied...

good idea! looks like i'll be the one wearing the Ospreys shirt!

First game, Ireland v italy starts at 3 pm local time so probably best to get down about 2ish so we can commandeer the tables early.

On the point of numbers, would the people who are gonna be there on saturday please just post on this thread to give me some kind of idea how many are turning up?

Just add your name to the list below please.

@ER - the obvious excuse is that it's Wales playing the #2 Rugby Team in the world... save yourself the grief... (unless you want to support the Mother Country...)

Mr GG has informed me that we have 'things to do' Saturday afternoon. (???)

I've updated the list accordingly.

Call me crazy but shouldn't a true sports fan get as much enjoyment out of the game whether his team wins or loses? Either way, I have an out this weekend as the boyfriend is in China.

*feels left out by all the trolling on the plane on a conveyor belt thread*

List looks ok, i reckon we have room for about 20 with 17 on the list so far.

So am i going to be the only Welshie there??? This will be interesting!

Nahh, there'll be plenty of other Leek wavers in the boozer too.

I hope so!

Two's company, Three's a Choir!

Time for one final pimping for the Predict-a-Score competition. This is open to all, whether in Munich or not. I'll be at Molly's accepting last-minute live submissions the hour before the first match.
