What is Ireland v England, Six Nations 2027?
The Six Nations is rugby union's annual championship between England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. Ireland against England is one of the tournament's oldest rivalries, and a Friday-night opener in Dublin promises a full stadium and a lively atmosphere across the city. The Aviva Stadium, on the site of the historic Lansdowne Road ground, holds around 51,700 spectators.
How do you get to the Aviva Stadium by chauffeur?
The stadium sits in Ballsbridge, south-east of the city centre. On match days, roads immediately around the ground are closed or restricted, and traffic builds across Dublin 4 well before kick-off. A chauffeur can drop you at a permitted point outside the restricted area and meet you there after the match. From St Stephen's Green, the drive usually takes around 10 to 20 minutes; from Dublin Airport, allow around 30 to 45 minutes.
