The Ireland team bidding to host Rugby World Cup 2023 delivered a powerful presentation to the World Rugby representatives in London today and promised to deliver a ‘Tournament Like No Other’, capturing the hearts and minds of audiences throughout the world.
In addition to the live contributions from the bid team including Brian O’Driscoll and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the fast-moving presentation to World Rugby contained video support pieces featuring:
● U2 and Bono at their Croke Park concert this summer promoting Ireland as the perfect host for RWC 2023.

● Liam Neeson’s video, ‘Ireland – Ready for the World’ specially produced in support of Ireland’s 2023 bid.
● Niamh Briggs’s highlighting Irish people’s infectious enthusiasm and capacity to deliver on a world stage.
