“If Australia wins this RWC semi-final I will jump in Sydney Harbour – naked.”

That’s just one of the many possible ludicrous declarations you could make this weekend while watching the 20-foot big screen at the Brancott Estate Rugby Island Pop-Up Bar on Cockatoo Island.

While you watch the games, indulge in in a beverage (when spectating rugby, it’s rude not to), and grab a pizza (mmm…spectator food). Paupers: BYO picnic blankets. Posh totties: you can upgrade to catered 15-seat VIP areas.

During half time, divert your eyes from the screen and take in the surrounding starry view of Sydney Harbour. Priceless stuff. (No seriously, entry is free.)

On Saturday, Wales play France at 7pm EST.

The Wallabies play at 7pm EST Sunday against New Zealand.

According to my old man (who has been known to watch two TV screens at once, thus maximising his rugby-watching efficiency) there will be riots in New Zealand if they choke in this weekend. So gear up for a nail-biter – and potentially an icy cold harbour swim!
