For the foreseeable future, all branches will be closed but a core team will be working remotely Monday - Friday 9.30am - 5.30pm to keep core business activities going. Only emergency maintenance will be handled over the weekends.
For the next six weeks the weekends will be taken up by scrums in bars and ruck’s in front rooms over results and decisions. If you haven’t yet been ingratiated into rugby then this is the time to learn the game. The best thing about the tournament is that it is a small enough tournament that every game you will have preference of who wins! This coming Friday [6th Feb] the England vs Wales game will be held in Cardiff; where Wales will be looking to kick off the tournament with a decisive victory over the English and to repay lasts year’s 29-18 defeat.
First of all here is a timetable of when the games are on:

Now you know when the games are all you have to do is decide on the best place to watch them! There are 3 choices all with positives and negatives;
At the stadium:
+: Amazing atmosphere - : Expensive
At the pub:
+: You won’t run out of food or drink and an amazing atmosphere
- : No matter how early you get there you will either be struggling to see the screen or find a seat
At home:
+: Best view in the house and very cheap - : Not a lot of atmosphere
If you decide to watch the games in town then you will need to get to your chosen bar at opening time to guarantee yourself a seat. Match days in Cardiff are an amazing experience with the streets packed with friendly fans giving banter about who will win the game.
