  • Peter Stringer (l) in action.

    What better way to watch the Six Nations this weekend than by taking in the action with Irish rugby union star Peter Stringer at McGettigan’s JLT.

    The 40-year-old scrum-half will be in attendance for the Ireland v Wales contest on Saturday, February 24 at The Baggot at McGettigan’s JLT.

    Along with taking part in a Q&A before the game, Stringer will also provide his expert commentary and analysis at half-time.

    Entry is free and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, with doors opening from 15:00, the Q&A commencing at 16:00 and the match kicking off at 18:15.

    The talented athlete has played 15 seasons with Munster Rugby and represented Ireland and the Barbarians internationally.

    He also appeared in four Heineken Cup Finals, winning two – in 2006 and 2008 – and has won three Celtic League titles and a Celtic Cup during his career with Munster.

    The atmosphere at McGettigan’s JLT is expected to be rocking as Wales and Ireland clash in a tasty fixture.

    Warren Gatland’s men will aim to sink Ireland’s Grand Slam hopes at Aviva Stadium, with Ireland owning two wins, three losses and a draw in the Kiwi’s tenure.

    There should be no shortage of Ireland fans at McGettigan’s, which has turned into one of the most popular establishments in all of Dubai, whether for nightlife or to watch live sport.

    Guests to restaurant and pub can enjoy happy hour beverages starting from noon to 20:00, or take advantage of the SOS Saturday Breakfast Special. The deal gives guests three house beverages and a breakfast dish for Dh109.

    Options include a veggie breakfast, smoked salmon muffin, French toast, salted caramel and banana pancakes and a traditional Irish fry up.

    Those who prefer a lighter start to the day, The Take It Easy Breakfast Combo offers guests a breakfast dish, a fresh juice and a hot drink for Dh89.
