International Rugby Experience CEO, Barry Hannon, said, “We’re delighted to screen the start of Ireland’s Rugby World Cup adventure; the excitement around the country is palpable and we’re all hoping this is the start of a very long stay in France for the team. This screening in our “Dugout” space will be a real family-friendly experience – with the added bonus of being able to tour the International Rugby Experience after.”

The Experience, which launched to much fanfare in May of this year, is a fully immersive, hands on, multi-sensory experience designed to engage and inspire families and individuals alike. With Rugby World Cup fever engulfing fans, there is no better time to journey through what it takes to become a Legend of the Game. With six stages rooted in World Rugby’s values of Passion, Discipline, Integrity, Solidarity and Respect, the ardent rugby fan will find plenty of entertainment with families and more casual fans also enjoying a world of interactive fun in the Home of Legends.

The International Rugby Experience tours, gift store and cafe are open seven days a week from 9.30am to 6pm with the last tour starting at 4.30pm.
