Weird question but anyone know if there is somewhere in Auckland domestic terminal that is showing world cup games? I have a couple hours layover after my international flight

@Rembrandt

The Vantage Bar is a two-story sports bar with ring-side seating overlooking the main runway and departure gates.

The bar, which features a glass staircase and giant screens showing sports coverage will come into its own over the next two months, as Kiwis depart for international fixtures and games at this year's Rugby World Cup in Japan.

According to the Auckland Airport FB page, it opened last week. It's in the international terminal though.

@Stargazer Cheers for that. I'll hang there for as long as I can.

Stargazer

Fiji hooker scores off the line-out. Looked great.

Stargazer

The views from that stadium in Kamaishi are awesome. I don't know anything about Japan; where is this?

Stargazer

Uruguay's tiny halfback scores under the posts, benefiting from a mistake from the Fijians.

7 - 5 Uruguay after 15 minutes

Stargazer

A controversial try from Fiji has been awarded. The Fijian prop seemed to have at least one knee on the ground when he scored; the Uruguayans appealed to the ref, but he didn't ask the TMO to check it.

12 - 7 Fiji after 20 minutes

That was a fantastic try, the halfback looks bloody good.

Stargazer

Wow, this is turning into a try fest. Now Uruguay's no. 8 scores.

Stargazer

14 - 12 Uruguay after 23 minutes

Stargazer

That's an absolutely brilliant try from Uruguay! Great game to watch thus far.

Stargazer

21 - 12 to Uruguay after 27 minutes

Stargazer

Ouch. Head clash. The Uruguayan centre not getting up.

Stargazer

He's gone off for a HIA.

Penalty kick for Uruguay ... and it's good.

24 - 12 to Uruguay after 38 minutes. Unbelievable!
