The International Rugby Board (IRB) has announced the kick off times for the upcoming Rugby World Cup.
The tournament will open on Friday September 7 with the clash of Ireland's Group D rivals France and Argentina at St Denis (Paris), which will be an 8pm kick off (9pm in France).
Ireland will open their Rugby World Cup with a match against Namibia in Bordeaux on the Sunday of opening weekend (September 9) at 7pm.
They will then face Georgia at 8pm on September 15, again in Bordeaux.
The campaign will then step up a gear with Ireland moving to Paris to face France in St Denis at 8pm.
They will then wind up with what may be a winner takes all clash against Argentina in Parc des Princes at 4pm.
Should they qualify Ireland would most likely play New Zealand, assuming they win Group C, in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on October 6, scheduled to take place at 9pm.
Finishing top, ahead of Argentina and France, in Group D would, again on the basis that New Zealand will probably top Group C, most likely see Ireland play either Italy or Scotland in St Denis at 8pm on October 7.
