2010 GUINNESS Series

Rugby fans don't have much longer to wait for international rugby to return to Lansdowne Road with the Autumn Internationals kicking-off at Aviva Stadium next month. The first match on 6th November sees Ireland play World Cup holders South Africa. In a clash of colours the visiting team gets to wear their home jersey, but to mark the special occasion South Africa have waived this right so that Ireland can play in green. The Ireland team will also play Samoa on 13th November, New Zealand on 20th November and Argentina on 28th November.

At just a stone's throw from Aviva Stadium, Mount Herbert Hotel is the ideal place to experience the atmosphere of the Guinness Series. Our room only rates for the Autumn Internationals start from just €49.50 per person sharing - give us a call on 01 6142000 for more information or to make a booking.
