bokke!!!!!!

A comment overheard in advance of Saturdays rugby final "The English look less dangerous in attack than the Swiss army"

the english have no chance against the bokke, really.

but well done for getting to the final i have to admit i am as surprised as any english supporter would be.

BOKKE!!!!!

wil take the cup

Surely those horns are against IRB regulations?

Maybe we should ask the Scots whether we can borrow their cattle.

Hairy Angus cows? But you've already got George Chuter!

Quick question.... is anybody going out to watch the RWC final in a bar or pub in Zürich? If so I'd love to join. Watching at home would surely not be the same atmosphere
I'm seeing a lot of support for those bokke but I'll be yelling for England!!!!
Not sure where it's on though? Any ideas?

emmag it will be on in at least 4 bars near the city centre- Paddy Reillys on Sihlstrasse (Trams 2 and 9), The Lion (near the Bally shop on Bahnhofstrasse), The Oliver Twist on Rindmarkt, just off the Niederdorfstrasse and in The Nelson, which is near to Globus on Bahnhofstrasse.

I expect that all four of these pubs will be packed to the gills- with both England fans and South Africans.

Thanks for the info Dod...a fabulously speedy reply!!!!!

when is the game on today....?

9pm i think. I might go to either the Lion or the Nelson. Apparantly paddys had people pressed against the outside windows last sat... I would suggest getting in early though.

I will be in Paddys to watch the game if anyone wants to come over and say hello. I will be the good-looking one under the clock-tower wearing the carnation.

A few of us coming from Aarau will be in the Nelson or myabe Paddys. Where is better, only know Nelson???

Pretty much the same, similar dispersed screen, bad beer, and dodgy clientele

dave

The Twist has a teli on the terrace....

The Twist can have a Party-On-The-Patio for all I care. That ranks as the pub/bar I like least in Zürich, and hence does not get my vote

dave

The semifinals were only shown upstairs from the Nelson , i.e. the Lady Hamilton on a large screen. That maybe the same today. No Guinness on draught, there. I prefer Paddy's. Might see someone there ?

The Lady Hamilton is the Zurich Rugby Club's sponsor and have shown every single game of the world cup. And it's where I am watching the game tonight, so yes, there is some very dodgy clientele.

COME ON ENGLAND, I FEEL LIKE VENISON STEAK TONIGHT!

Avatar says it all.

Are you blond these days, or have you changed to confuse the enemy ?
