The 2019 Rugby World Cap has officially kicked off in Japan, and there's no doubt that rugby fans will be glued to their TV screens for the remainder of the event.
But for some, owning a full DStv bouquet is not an option. Don't worry, we've got you covered. Who needs a TV screen when you can be cheering on your favourite team with drink in hand with a few of your pals? After all, it's all about the gees.
Below is a list of places throughout the country that will be airing live Rugby World Cup matches.

Thunder Gun in Blackheath, Randburg
The neat family steakhouse is a firm favourite with many families in the Randburg area. The rugby goes down well with a variety of beer selections as well as their famous ribs and steak. The pub area with the television is relatively small, giving an intimate experience. So get up early to avoid disappointment.
