WORLD Rugby is investigating how tickets for Ireland’s opening Rugby World Cup game in France ended up on a notorious scalping site, priced as high as €1,316 each.
Fans who forked out up to 14 times of the original value for their passes on the Viagogo website now face a double whammy of having their tickets cancelled.
