Ireland will begin their 2019 Rugby World Cup journey against Six Nations rivals Scotland on Sunday, September 22.
Joe Schmidt's side are bidding to reach the semi-finals of the tournament for the first time and while they are odds-on to make the last eight - big guns await.
The winners of Ireland's group will take on the runners-up of Pool B where New Zealand and South Africa will likely fight it out.
And if Ireland come second in their group, they will face the winners of Pool B in the quarter-finals.

Here are Ireland's fixtures for the 2019 Rugby World Cup (fixtures all in Irish time):
