Just phoned the hotel, and they're not showing the England vs Samoa game in their bar!

Arse. The woman I spoke to said there's a pub nearby that may be showing it. Not sure of the name, sounded like Rosie Combe (Rose and Crown possibly).

Any locals know of a place we can watch it?

Its on sky sports 2 live at 2 PM....and the Rose & Crown in the village next to brandon is showing it (I rang the landlord and told him to expect a crowd of us) They have just got a new big screen as well.

I know this pub as i used to live in wolston. Its a good drinking pub, typical local village pub.

Wolston is only 15 mins walk from Brandon hall hotel so we should be ok for getting there and back.

The pub is on the main street in wolston....you can't miss it....but we might miss the hotel on the way back depending how we all are...lol

The details of the pub are
Rose & Crown
Main St, Wolston, Coventry, West Midlands CV8 3HJ
Tel: 024 7654 1248

The Pre match starts at 2PM

See you all there

I was going to say car park but playing rugby on a car park might hurt a bit
