Ciao Angelo!
What a fantastic birthday gift!
Even though you couldn't get tickets, watching the Ireland-All Blacks game in a Dublin pub is such a great experience. There are many pubs in Dublin where you can watch rugby matches. The following pubs are always buzzing on match days: Doheny & Nesbitt, Searsons, The Living Room, O'Donoghue's, The Swan Bar, Toners, The Camden, and The Bleeding Horse just to name a few.
Also, during your stay, you might also enjoy checking out some provincial rugby games or visiting the rugby heritage sites around the area. Please, check

Anything else you're planning to explore while you're here in Dublin?
