If you are in Moscow, there are two bars with Sky Digital, which gives you access to Six Nations, Tri-Nations and other games on the Sky schedule. Metelitsa-Sportland, a sports bar in the basement of a casino, has taken over as the premier venue. Security there is very strict and service poor, but it has the saving grace of allowing you to put a quick flutter on your team. Check out their website www.Metelitsa.ru for match times. The Boarhouse bar, where the Moscow Dragons RFC watch their rugby, has an excellent screen - but now tends to show more football than rugby. For more information check out there www.boarhouse.ru
