Ruddock looking forward to savouring atmosphere of 'amazing' Tokyo stadium

If Ireland haven’t already got a taste of what it will be like when they return to Japan for the 2019 World Cup, then they will get it tomorrow when they run out at the splendid Ajinomoto Stadium in the Tokyo suburbs, writes John Fallon in Tokyo.

The 49,970 stadium, which is nestled among houses in Chofu, around 25 kilometres from Tokyo centre, will be the location for the opening ceremony and the first match of RWC 2019.
