To celebrate the arrival of the Ireland men's rugby team and the start of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, organizers of the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in Yokohama's Motomachi shopping district held "Motomachi Ireland Day" on Saturday to celebrate Irish culture and get locals ready for the current world No. 1 team's pool stage opener against Scotland at International Stadium Yokohama on Sept. 22. The event included performances by bands playing traditional Irish music, dancers, and a speech by Ireland Ambassador Paul Kavanagh. #RugbyWorldCup #Ireland
