What do the fixtures mean for Ireland?
With the RWC 2007 game times now announced we take a look at what could be the journey for the men in green.
Open their Rugby World Cup journey against Namibia in Bordeaux on the first Sunday of the tournament (September 9) at 7pm.
Moving on face Georgia at 8pm on September 15, again in Bordeaux.
The going then gets tougher moving to Paris to face France in St Denis at 8pm on 21st September.
The final pool game is a winner takes all clash against Argentina in Parc des Princes at 4pm on Sunday 30th September
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.
