Does anyone know if there is a pub/venue in Seoul that would be showing this coming weekend's test between the Lions and the Springboks? If so, could you post directions to that place?

Many thanks!

What time is it on? I'm guessing SA is about 5/6-hours behind SK.

If you want to watch it with a big crowd, you can catch it at Hollywood, Scrooge or Wolfhound Pub in Itaewon and I believe New Phillies in Haebangchon.

Of if you get the Australia Network, you can watch it on cable TV.

Hollywoods will show it. Exit 2, walk straight for a minute, it's on the 3rd floor (above Kraze burger). The wolfhound will show it too. Exit 4, turn left when you come out of the exit and then take a right immediately, turn right again and the wolfhoundis on the rhs. Scrooges will show it too. Exit 1, go behind KFC and then take a left on the back sreet, scrooges is about a minutes walk and on the second floor.
Does the game start at 9 or 10? I think Durban is 7 hours behind korea which would mean a start of 9, but my buddy insists it's at 10.

Theres no such team as the British Lions you fool.

Considering a vast number of the players are Irish, including the captain and the best player in the backline, I think you could at least acknowledge their presence. The British and Irish Lions.

Thank you. And Looking forward to the first test on Saturday.

Thanks for your replies, everyone!

The kick-off is 3pm SA time, so by my reckoning that should be 10pm Korea time...

Kick off is 2pm GMT. So that makes it 10pm local.

Thank you.

Cannot wait for the games. Cant help but think the Lions will be shown up due to some dodgy warm up games but I live in hope. Should be great spectacles either way.

myp2p.eu usually has a lot of links up. You could try justin.tv. Usually it just ends up being really frustrating, either the links go down or the quality isn't good enough to watch.

Dumb comment of the week Very Happy

First off, ALL of SA is one time zone. Secondly, that time zone is GMT+2 (so 7 hours behind Korea) and Thirdly, the game isn't being played in Cape Town.

To the OP, the place you want to go may depend on who support. If you want to be with mostly Brits (and Irish too I guess) and watch the Lions lose, then Hollywoods in Itaewon would be the place to go. If you'd rather be with South Africans and watch the Boks win, then you should go to Scrooges.


FINALLY, as there is a lot of confusion here. Kick-off is 1pm GMT, South Africa is GMT+2, so the local kick off is 3pm SA time. Which means the game starts at 10pm Korean time.

So what would be the support base at Wolfhounds, I wonder? A mix, maybe?
