I've just remembered that England are playing on the morning that the race starts. Assuming we're able to haul ourselves out of our sleeping bags after the usual Friday night shenanigans, will any bars near the circuit (with suitable viewing equipment) be open this early in the morning?

(Sadly, rigging up a TV/dish is beyond the mental capabilities of even the brightest members of our group...)

I'm tempted to call the Aux Portes du Circuit bar or the Stella bar closer to the date, and ask them nicely. Surely there would a reasonable Brit turnout, which would make it worthwhile for them?

Alternatively, if anyone in Houx will have a big telly/projector, we are happy to offer you barbequed goods and beer in return for letting us watch the game!

As much as I like Rugby on the morning of 14/6 I'll be watching the Group C cars wink I'm sure I read somewhere that they start at 10am....?

Thats where I'll be! After the shenanigans of yesterday the team are in for a severe beating. No manager, Rob Andrew at the helm, I'm sorry but I expect a world cup backlash from the All Blacks.

10am start Group C's, bring then on!

Hadn't even thought the rugby would clash with the Le Mans weekend. OK, I'm going to need to find somewhere to watch it, anyone in Karting Nord going to have a screen with it on?!

Although, with a predicatble outcome of the match and I doubt any of my group will be intertested, I might just not bother!

I'll be wanting to watch that too. Is it being screened on SKY or terrestrial?

Saw the All Blacks at Twickers 18 months ago. Not pretty stuff by our lads at all. Can't see that this game will be any different, especially with the Kiwi's at home frown
After a season of straight wins, and two titles watching Northampton Saints, I'm not sure if I'm ready to settle back to normal ways just yetsmile

There will be a few of us from our group on KN wanting to watch it too, so let us know if you find somewhere!
