2017 RBS 6 Nations
Arguably the world's premier tournament for men with funny shaped balls, the 6 Nations is back in action this weekend. While we may be more than 5,000 miles away from the action the hype is still alive and well in Shanghai. Can England defend their 2016 crown? Starting Saturday, every game will be shown live at The Camel, The Blarney Stone, and The Hop Project. There aren't any special deals on, but luckily rugby fans don't need much incentive when it comes to beer.
Multiple locations around town. Read 'When and where to watch the 2017 6 Nations rugby' for more details and fixture information.
