Rugby Hospitality

Sportsworld are delighted to offer official hospitality packages to the Autumn International rugby matches, Ireland v New Zealand and Ireland v Argentina, at Croke Park in November 2008.

With Landsdowne Road still being refurbished Croke Park will be the venue for visit of the Kiwi's. Although Ireland managed to record only two wins in this years 6 Nations tournament they will be disappointed by results against the stronger squads Wales, France and England. This match against the might of New Zealand will allow the current squad to prove they have the strength to beat the big sides. A win would give needed confidence with another 6 Nations challenge only a few month afterwards.

Ireland then face the team that arguably put them out of last years World Cup. Argentina excited their colourful fans last year to finish top of World Cup Group D, beating Ireland and with the help of France sending them home. Will the Puma's be able to beat the Irish at their temporary home or will Croke Park be the setting for Irish revenge?
