World Rugby plans to review the process which saw South Africa named preferred bidder only for France to be chosen to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Last week’s recommendation that South Africa should host Rugby World Cup 2023 was reached, in part, because our infrastructure was deemed inadequate.

Tickets for the Rugby World Cup games in 2023 could be as low as €20 if an all-Ireland bid for the event is successful.

Ireland’s bid to host the 10th Rugby World Cup in 2023 was formally submitted to the World Rugby offices in Dublin yesterday.

The bidding battle to host Rugby World Cup 2023 is set to be between Ireland and three other countries - France, Italy and South Africa.
