    Paddington is a big rugby pub area, some massive screens and friendly atmosphere, Would be a good mix of Aussie/Lions
    Surry Hills also a good spot, if looking for more Lions related support any Irish bar.

    Trinity Bar (Crown St) or The Porterhouse (Riley St) in Surry Hills have had good crowds for the midweek games, so would imagine they will both be worth going to for the test game.

    I watched all the Ireland matches at the WC at trinity and was a great buzz and big screen.
    Great food too if you can get space

    Sydney is a big place, it might help it you let people know where you are going to be staying

    There were some (three to four groups) absolute dickheads (Irish) in the Porterhouse last Saturday. Not the usual crowd.

    Puking out the front, toilets destroyed, refusing to let people past with beers on the way back from the bar, hurling abuse at the Aussies and the English. There was even a plate with cutlery left in a toilet cubicle.

    Knackers. Embarrassing for a rugby crowd.
