Early start for England rugby fans as bars and pubs around the country prepare to throw open their doors from 7am in time for tomorrow’s World Cup quarter-final crunch match against Australia

  • Hundreds of pubs are opening early to show England’s World Cup quarter final
  • Eddie Jones’ men will take on Australia in the Olta Stadium in Olta Prefecture
  • Fans will be able to stay on for the New Zealand – Ireland game at 11.15 in Tokyo

England fans who have not managed to travel to Japan for the Rugby World Cup but who are desperate to follow Eddie Jones’ men tomorrow morning face an early start – but fortunately, many bars will be opening early for the game. 

Tomorrow’s quarter final match against Australia is due to start at 8.15am London time, which while technically does not see the sun reach over the yard arm, it is still late enough to grab a sneaky pint, if you know where. 

Many England fans will be heading to The Cabbage Patch, which is a drop-goal Twickenham, where fans have been promised a free pint of Guinness, or a cup of coffee, if they book their spot in advance.
