Please imagine yourself in your favourite pub next Saturday morning, watching the (pick the obvious winner here) Wallabies annihilate (pick the obvious loser here) England.

Ever since the last (football) World Cup pubs here have been opening at the most unusual hours for sporting events. There was a spate of controversy about the licence extensions being granted (or sometimes refused) to allow them to serve alcohol at 7 am - which rapidly died down as soon as pubs reported that the vast majority of customers were only ordering coffee anyway.
