RadioTimes.com brings you the round-up of Ireland’s fixtures at the Rugby World Cup 2023.
Ireland head into the Rugby World Cup 2023 brimming with well-founded ambitions of claiming glory in France, and their resounding opener could serve as an ideal springboard.
They demolished Romania 82-8 in a confident rout and given the strength of Pool B, every point may be crucial at the reckoning prior to the knockout stage.
The Irish side swept up a Grand Slam victory in the Six Nations earlier this year and extended their winning streak with three warm-up triumphs.
Ireland won 14 matches in a row prior to the tournament – a run that stretches back to February 2022, when they lost to France in the Six Nations – and are considered among the absolute favourites to go all the way in the RWC.
Coach Andy Farrell will be keen to keep his troops grounded ahead of the battles to come, but all the signs point towards an ominous showing from Ireland in the weeks to come.
RadioTimes.com brings you the full round-up of Ireland’s fixture list and results for the Rugby World Cup 2023.
