Does anybody know in advance whether there will be any screenings of the Rugby (Union) World Cup in Kunming this year? Are there any Kiwi, Aussie or English bars that are considering showing the games?
Thanks anyone:)

PS A massive thank you to all of our excellent and generous sponsors for this event. It's going to be an epic weekend

I hadn't looked at the photos before I posted them. Having done so they're nothing special. I was at Lugu Lu recently and it really is beautiful - I just hope it lasts. It's got a way to go but the warning signs of a mass tourism ala Lijiang are all in place

The Flying Tigers are kicking off a new season this Saturday (September 14) with a social game of touch rugby.

Everybody is welcome and no experience is necessary.

The club will provide beer at the match. There will be an after-party at O'Reilly's Irish pub after the game.

Contact the club at kunming.rugby@gmail.com for more information.

Fantastic place. Live sports as per promised with football, rugby, basketball, golf and so on.

For the food, I've only had the cheeseburger so far and it was pretty damn good. Better yet it came with proper hot chips and not crisps.

Friendly, knowledgable staff as well.
