The Team • September 1, 2023

Live Broadcast Viewing of Rugby World Cup Games

Every four years, when the Rugby World Cup rolls around, you can be sure to catch the action from your seat or bar stool right here at Shooters Sports Bar & Grill in Nagoya, Japan.

In 2019, we were fortunate enough to be, not only the host country, but also one of the host cities!

Being in our time zone, all games were played within business hours. However, regardless of where the Rugby World Cup takes place, we strive to show all of the games live whenever possible.
