An all-Ireland bid to stage the 2023 Rugby World Cup is set to be officially unveiled.
Officials from the IRFU will tomorrow join representatives from the Northern Ireland Executive and Irish government to outline their ambition to jointly host the sport’s showpiece event.
Both administrations have been engaged in a preliminary assessment exercise over the last 10 months to weigh up the feasibility of submitting an official bid.
