The i Paper
Home to Leinster Rugby, the RDS Arena has a capacity of 18,500 and is located only a few miles from central Dublin.
The Super League clubs are confident the Dublin match would be an attractive proposition for both travelling fans in the UK and for general sports supporters across Ireland.
Rugby union in Ireland attracts strong support at both club and international level, unlike rugby league in the European nation.
There is hope that taking a Super League game to Dublin can help spark wider interest in the code in Ireland.
In the UK, the Sky Sports viewing figures peaked at 340,000 television viewers, making it the most-watched Super League game outside of the Covid-19 season in 2020, and it was also the most-watched Super League game ever on TV in Australia.
