O’Driscoll to lead charge as Ireland’s World Cup bid gathers pace

Brian O’Driscoll will flex his superstar muscle to boost Ireland’s battle to host Rugby World Cup 2023.

Test rugby’s most-capped player has agreed to assume the chief cheerleader role for the 2023 campaign.

GAA Director General Paraic Duffy has been named on the Irish Rugby Football Union’s (IRFU) World Cup oversight board, a further pledge that grounds like Croke Park would host action should Ireland stage the 2023 tournament.
