Where To Watch The Rugby 

The best pubs to enjoy the World Cup 2015
 
What a great combination - a rugby world cup, beer and the pub!
 
It's like they were made for each other - and in England too. Throw in a scrum down at the bar, a big match atmosphere and a few Aussies & South Africans to banter with and you've got yourself a sweet chariot night to remember, we reckon.
 
So here's the best pubs in Swindon to grab a pint and enjoy the action.
 
And come on Jonny!
 
The Southbrook
Ferndale
 
Three bars, five screens and plenty of Guinness & Rugbeer - what more do you need? You'll find them all at The Southbrook, which has been just taken over by Arkell's.
 
 
 
Woodlands Edge
Sparcells, West Swindon
 
The rugy fan is extremely well catered for at this Hungry Horse pub, with huge tv screens not only broadcasting all the live action but in-built screens where you can enjoy a bite to eat too.
 
Almost better than a corporate box!
 
 
 
20 At The Kings
Old Town, Swindon
 
This pub sponsors the Swindon College Old Boys Rugby team so expect a few forwards 'prop'-ping up the bar here in Old Town.
 
If you fancy some food before kick-off, not only do they serve their bar menu 7 days a week, they also have a number of TVs in all the right places beaming all the latest live action in bar and lounge.
 
   
Rudis Bar & Kitchen
Regents Circus, Swindon
 
Always a fans' favourite for footy, expect the screens to be showing all the big games from the rugby world cup.
 
 
The Sun Inn
Coate, Swindon
 
The landlord loves his rugby and has been know to play a bit himself so expect the Rugbeer & Guiness to be flowing at The Sun.
 
 
   
Old Town
 
The Plough
Best small pub for atmosphere and craft ales.
 
The Clifton  
Grant the bar manager went to school with Swindon's Jonny May so we reckon the beer will most definitely be flowing if England win the World Cup!
 
 
Mackenzies Cafe Bar
A big bar and plenty of screens make this open plan venue always popular for big games.
    
North Swindon
 
The Tawny Owl
Big screens and bar staff in all the right places.
 
 
Stratton St Margaret
 
The Moonrakers
Live sport aplenty!
 
The Bakers Arms
Big screens + big matches + beer = big atmosphere!
 
Just Out Of Swindon
 
The Royal Oak at Bishopstone
English, Welsh and always a few Irish at the bar enjoying the game.
 
The Three Crowns at Brinkworth
Look out for drinks offers if Jonny May scores for England!
