Whether technology is letting you down or you just enjoy a social atmosphere when watching rugby, Mahurangi Matters has compiled a list of local places you can catch the World Cup.
The government introduced a bill in August specifically allowing licensed premises to remain open for Rugby World Cup matches outside usual trading hours.
The bill has made it easy for bars and pubs to apply for a late licence to screen games that start at 11.45pm and 12.15pm.
Late licence holders:
The Maungaturoto Historic Inn will be screening all the games.
The Paparoa Hotel has installed three new TV screens for the occasion and will be screening all the games.
The Mangawhai Tavern, has installed new screens and has food specials.
The Leigh Bar is screening all games live and is encouraging fans to book on 021 041924 to avoid disappointment.
The Matakana village pub will screen all games depending on numbers at the bar.
The Bridgehouse in Warkworth will screen all the games.
The Salty Dog Inn in Snells Beach will screen all games live on five big screens and has guess-the-score prizes.
