If you weren’t convinced that Ireland could host a World Cup before, you will be after watching this.

Ireland are going all out to ensure that they win the bid to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup. France are the main opposition in the hosting rights battle, but the French will need to up their promo-making skills in order to top this sensational effort.

The promo features familiar faces such as Brian O’Driscoll, Paul O’Connell, Bernard Brogan and Phillip Matthews all showcasing the stadia Ireland will be putting forward for their bid.

Unquestionably, the jewel in the crown of the pitch is Croke Park, which would host the final should the bid be successful.

And boy, our Croker sure looks beautiful in the promo.
