Rugby World Cup Tickets on sale on the 15th

I went to Japan on one of the organised tours, nothing you posted relates to that experience. It was very slickly organised.

If anyone is looking at flying home the day after the South Africa match on a budget.

€10 Ouigo train from Massy TGV (South of Paris) to Saint Pierre des Corps (Tours) . Leaves at 8am arrives at 9am. Flight from Tours to Dublin (currently €38) at 11:55.

Beats the €350 direct flights from Beauvais or the €100 flights with a stop in Berlin or Milan.

Anyone going via La Rochelle to Paris know roughly how much the tgv inoui will cost when they release tickets?

Eurostar from Paris Gare du Nord to London (120euro, 2.5hrs) and any of the many London flights home (40euro) is the best combination I've come across for that day, its what I'm on.

Everyone seems to be going mad with connecting flights miles out of the way, or else trains all over France to regional airports, but the Eurostar is way faster/easier/still reasonably priced. Don't have to leave at 8am either on it, plenty of afternoon options that work.

Yes, I received the same email. They will try and sell as many hospitality as they can and maybe release some general sale tickets then.

That's the Ouigo train (cheapest type). They just block released until December a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the regular trains are only available up until the first week of September but there will definitely be more. There's an option to be notified by email when they're available on the booking page. The time tables don't vary a whole lot so you can just look back a couple of weeks to give you a good idea for planning at least

Some tickets for Romania and Tonga games up today, but perpetually unable to purchase.

Site just crashed now.

To those that have tickets already, is there an option to transfer/send to someone through official routes rather than screenshots? Hoping to avoid getting stung with a fake/duplicate if I do end up finding a ticket outside of the official site.

Flights booked for Bordeaux, excitement building! Anyone got reccomendations on areas to drink? I wonder will there be a fanzone at the stadium

Took a day a couple of weeks ago and booked all the accommodation. My partner had (perhaps unwisely) seen air prices going up a few weeks prior and booked outbound and return flight covering the first three matches. I think I would have preferred ferry and bringing our own car - the flights were eye-wateringly expensive.

Staying in campsites in Bordeaux and Nantes, which I booked direct. Then a nice little road-trip up to Paris, stopping off for a couple of days in two towns on the way. Hotel in Paris completes part 1 of the trip - flying home for the 2 week break between match 3 and 4.

Worst part of the thing was trying to book the campsites directly. Are all French businesses so averse to efficiency? I want to book and pay now. "Nope, we'll take a deposit, and email you five different booking confirmations, all with different reference numbers, and let you figure out which is the proper one when you try to complete the booking and pay in full a few days later!"

Anyone got any tips for getting to Bordeaux for Romania game, Aer Lingus and Ryanair both around 800€ for the weekend, thanks

is anyone considering the possibility of industrial action over pension reforms affecting the RWC?

I don’t feel that strongly about it myself, but if you want to picket the stadium, you go brother.
