    I actually like our schedule, get a nice two weeks to build into the tournament before playing our biggest game which will take a big performance and one way or another we then have two weeks to rest up for what is another big game v Scotland.

    Ireland v Scotland will be extra tasty in the interim.

    I'm very glad that an extra week has been added to the duration of the pool stages. It was a disgrace how the minnow teams were set up to fail in previous tournaments.

    I think the pool games set us up nicely. Couple of confidence builders and then , the real stuff.

    Are you sure that's the lineup for 2023 and not 2019 or 2007 :D

    It's comes from extending the group stage by 7 extra days, which is itself a good things as no-one will have a Saturday->Wednesday combo this time.

    I wonder will the team stay in France for that 13 day gap though?

    Think they have to. I remember one player had to leave 2015 for a funeral and they had to seek permission from the RWC organiser.

    Also for anti doping purposes too I guess they have to stay in an official venue

    Registration for tickets is now open, you can’t choose matches yet, but you can register for pre-sale.

    Yeah, all teams have to stay in country. It is to level the playing field.

    Honestly think this is more than a little suspicious. Kinda like France and NZ being in the same pool.
