Anyone know if any of the Lewes pubs show Sky Sports 2 when rugby is on?

Did someone call my name?
Yes, we're showing the rugby today as well as the football and the Grand Prix at the Elephant and Castle.
Also serving food until 4pm (2 meals for �12 including roasts while they last)

I lie, we won't have the Grand Prix on as Sky have greedily snapped up all three today and we can only show 2 Sky channels at once.
I'm not sure but the Brewers may be showing the Grand Prix as well as the football

Thanks for suggestions. Yes, the E&C had been first port of call yesterday having been told earlier that they would be showing the final Heineken Cup match at 6.30pm. But, first of us there discovered at 6.25 pm that they were sticking with football on all 4 screens. Cue, speedy exit for them, rest of us diverted on a mission to find the match! Will try Brewers in future.

Sports fan, that's odd. I was watching the game with a few Harlequins fans who had just got back from France so I know we had it on.
It was on the screen above the fruit machine directly infront of the bar. We showed all three games on the Saturday from 1.30pm on the same TV so I'm not really sure why the first in didn't see that it was on.
We will be showing the rest of the Heineken cup too.
I must admit we did show the F1 on Sunday as no one turned up for the rugby and made themselves known (we would have turned over to the rugby but it would appear there wasn't the interest)

Sports Fan, I must apologise. I have just found out that the staff didn't show all of the rugby. Apparently there was a brief clash with the football so we missed out the first 5-10 minutes of the rugby.
In the morning I didn't realise that there was an afternoon Barcelona match as well as the Premiership game and wasn't there at the start to organise everything.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
