Saturday will be a good day for sport - if England beat Nigeria their quarter final will kick off at 11.30am, perfect timing for the pub, then post match England play Wales in the warm up games for the RWC, perfect timing for the pub. Shame about the evaporation of L1 optimism in between!

Cheers Clive, from what I can see there’s that option, or Victoria to St Pancreas on the Victoria Line, or Lewisham to Blackfriars’s (from the Hayes trains), or North Greenwich to London Bridge on the Jubilee.
Yep, nice pub that does great pizzas on the square by the cathedral only a 10 minute walk to the ground.
Had some good memories at games up there over the years including a 5-0 midweek win I think?
What's the pub called?! I'm there + 3 more.
It's the Queens Head, good beer and grub, the Barge place is also very good.
As it’s forecast to be sunny up here the barge (Charters) would be an excellent choice as it has an outside bar and a huge outdoor seating area.
It’s a cracking place, with a superb beer offering - as you say, outside area is huge, and it’s only a short walk to the ground from the barge - I am really looking forward to Saturday, and it’s the start of my 2 weeks leave as well 😃
Sadly on the south coast for the weekend. Have a great one and hope the boys deliver for you @redbuttle and @ButtleJR
Thanks mate. The larrop has started at work this morning. I've stayed quiet as don't want to jinx it. They seem very confident they'll beat us, but clearly haven't done their research given they keep mentioning Macaulay Bonne... Hoping to walk in next Tuesday with a big grin on my face, believe their best player Mason-Clark is injured.

LNER trains are running a normal service from Kings Cross, but it will cost a lot more using this route.
Also Charing Cross & Waterloo East stations will be closed due to engineering works.
