Breakfast and beverages for rugby fans

Rugby fans took advantage of breakfast - and for some a bit of dutch courage - as Christchurch venues threw open their doors for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup semi-final clash between the All Blacks and Argentina.

“Breakfast and bar” were available for customers at Bailies Bar (pictured), who cheered on the All Blacks’ 6-44 win over Argentina.

Rugby fans are expected to be out in force at Christchurch venues for the World Cup final against South Africa.

Bailies, in Edgeware Village, will open again next Sunday at 7.30am for the final against South Africa.

Bars and venues are expecting a “jam-packed” morning for the 8am final, with fans advised to check if they need to book ahead.

Other businesses opening their doors next Sunday morning include Dux Central, The Fitz 2 Sports Bar and The Bealey Quarter.
