Whether you’re a fan of the sport or just want to enjoy the festive atmosphere, the launch party is the place to be on Saturday.
To be held at the Emirates Golf Club’s Rugby Central from 18:00 and into the night, the Official Rugby World Cup 2015 fan zone will be full of music, entertainment, competition and cheerleaders.

Entrance to the party is completely free and if you arrive in fancy dress, you have the chance to walk away with some fantastic prizes for the most creative outfits.
The party will get you hyped for the upcoming Rugby Sevens, now in its 46th year.
