The Irish Rugby Village at the IFSC- formerly known as the Oktoberfest site is now the only place you need to be to watch the rugby if you didn't get match tickets.

While Irish fans are having the absolute craic at the World Cup, and making us all very jealous as they do so, we feel just a little bit left now. 

 

However, now you have a brand new venue to enjoy the matches at, and the best part is: it's totally free!

 

The 2,000 capacity indoor and outdoor venue has giant screens, street food market and live entertainment, as well as full bars with the best of Irish craft beers.

To be honest, you had our attention at giant screens and totally won us over with the street food market.

The Irish Rugby Village kicks off Friday 9 October with New Zealand v Tonga from 8pm, and have planned to screen every match every weekend, through to the final on Saturday, 31st October. 

The Rugby Village are also going to be hosting some very interesting guests over the new few weekends. 

Some of the country's top rugby pundits and former international players are expected to make appearance on match days to give their analysis of upcoming games.  

Any chance BOD himself might make an appearance? We can only hope.

So, you have all the perks of being somewhere with an amazing atmosphere, and you also have some of your home comforts too- because we all know that sitting down to watch the rugby includes snacks and probably a beverage or two.
