England travel to Dublin to face tournament favourites Ireland on Saturday, while Scotland begin their campaign against Italy, but where are the best venues and pubs to watch all the action?

Located next door to All Stars, in Regent Street, this lively pub is a great alternative in a more relaxed setting.

This public house dates back to the 1800s and is situated on Worle High Street, which makes it the ideal game day setting.

The Pavilion Bar

This watering hole’s main bar is closed for refurbishment during the rugby feast but fear not, as drinkers can relocate to the basement.

The downstairs bar will be open and with four large screens and ample seating, it is a lovely spot on Weston seafront.

The Windsor Castle

A traditional freehouse in Milton is maybe not first on the list when you want to watch live sport.

But with a big television and six beers and ciders on tap, you cannot go far wrong.
