England v South Africa Rugby World Cup Final to be shown on huge outdoor screen in Newcastle

All eyes will be on England on Saturday when they take on South Africa in the Rugby World Cup 2019 final.

After a nail biting win against New Zealand in the semis, England will go for glory at the weekend and you can cheer them onto victory while watching the action on a big outdoor screen in Newcastle city centre.

The tie is a rematch of the 2007 final which South Africa won.

England are looking for their second William Webb Ellis cup, having won their first in 2003, when then Newcastle Falcons star Jonny Wilkinson kicked a dramatic drop-goal winner in extra time.

Just as it welcomes back festive pop-up bar Hadrian's Tipi, the Pilgrim Street shipping container hub will broadcast the final on the big screen in its downstairs plaza.

The only slight downer is, that if you're wanting to make an early start on the beers, you'll have to wait a while.

Revealing the news on Facebook, Stack posted "Come and support England in the Rugby World Cup final this Saturday.

"With full commentary on our 30ft HD screen.

"We open from 8:30am serving soft drinks, hot drinks and bacon butties."
