The IRFU have announced the team who will be charged with bringing the tournament to these shores. Dick Spring, Hugo MacNeill and GAA Director General Páraic Duffy all take up positions on the board but the most recognisable name is one Brian O'Driscoll.

Brian O'Driscoll, the world's most capped international rugby player, has been appointed to the board with the title of Bid Ambassador.

All our hopes are in your hands Brian, no pressure.
