‘Irish Rugby World Cup tickets will be 30% cheaper’

The Ireland team bidding to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup are planning to make tickets 30% cheaper than those that were on offer for the last tournament in England.

Ireland are vying to host the World Cup in six years time and they are due to deliver their bid presentation to the World Rugby Council in London next Monday. They are one of three countries hoping to host the tournament, with France and South Africa also putting forward their proposals on the same day. The winners will be announced in November.

The team behind Ireland’s bid have put together a strong presentation, which is hoping to ensure the country wins the chance to host the World Cup solely for the first time in its history.
