We moved recently to Vietnam for a year and luckily for us discovered a website called RugbyPass in the first few weeks of being in Ho Chi Minh.

We had been to a bar here in Ho Chi Minh called Phatty’s Sports Bar and Grill and they had the Cowboys playing Broncos on the big screen behind the main bar.

Phatty’s also had AFL on to on a few of the smaller TV’s around the place.

While I am at it we took the kids to Phatty’s and it wasn’t too bad a place to watch games if you are desperate for some football.

They do smoke inside so that was a bit of a drag (insert nose laugh), but other than that it was a great experience.

I took some photos and noticed the RugbyPass logo on the screen and thought to myself, I wonder if we can get this on too.
