Now, you're probably wondering where the best place to watch the global showpiece is?

Well, Sky Tshabalala is the right man to give you his venue ideas. 

Sky knows how important it is to choose the right venue to watch some 'lekker' rugby in KZN.

"It's important to know where you must watch the rugby and where the vibe is. Then you can really get the Mzansi experience or, better yet, the KZN experience," says Sky.

Here are Sky's picks of where to watch the Rugby World Cup right here in KZN:

Westville Old Boys Rugby Club

One of the oldest clubs in KZN, this place has all the vibes you need to watch and have fun. 

The Westville Old Boys Rugby Club (WOB) is in the heart of the Westville neighbourhood. As the facilities also cater for young kids, it is the place to be when you want that fan park vibe.

Waxys O’Connor (any of them)

Sky mentioned before that he doesn't want to sound biased, but one of the places he LOVES to be after a long day of training with his Westville Boys soccer team is Waxys O’Connor

According to Sky, Waxys is where you can unwind, shelter from the cold, or share a few pints with the lads just for fun. 

The establishment was opened in 2001. Waxy O’Connors is an authentic Irish restaurant founded on the principles of appearance, good food, and the indispensable Irish beer called Guinness.

At your home

It can be a simple case of a chilled bring and braai at your home or even just have a couple of friends over to enjoy the game. 

Sky is very much a home body, meaning he loves to be at home any chance he gets, so for those of you who are the same, he suggests that you should rather watch the game at home.

"Like there's absolutely nothing wrong with just calling over your mates, having a braai, and just watching the rugby on the telly. Just make sure the TV is big and you've got yourself lekker sound too," says Sky.
