The Mail Online has rated each venue across key categories, and we've added our own RUCK verdict to settle the debate.

6. AVIVA STADIUM, Dublin
Opened: 2010 | Capacity: 51,711

Mail Online: “This is a striking and smart modern stadium, but there is no escaping the enormous problem with it – that it simply isn't enormous enough. Ireland could sell 120,000 tickets for big games, yet they're stuck in a stadium that's far too small. The recent concerns about quiet crowds are justified. It's hardly a cauldron these days.”

Atmosphere: 4/10
Away-day experience: 6/10
Facilities: 7/10
Area infrastructure: 5/10
Character and history: 3/10
Aesthetics: 7/10
Home advantage: 5/10
TOTAL: 37/70

RUCK verdict: The Aviva is a thing of beauty, but it just isn't big enough. With Irish rugby booming, a move back to Croke Park makes too much sense. As for the atmosphere? It's not what it used to be.

5. ALLIANZ STADIUM, London
Opened: 1909 | Capacity: 82,000

Mail Online: “The fact that the embattled RFU thought about a relocation says a lot. Twickenham is vast and historic, but it needs a £600million revamp. The atmosphere can be flat, the transport system is a nightmare, and the facilities aren't up to scratch.”

Atmosphere: 5/10
Away-day experience: 5/10
Facilities: 6/10
Area infrastructure: 5/10
Character and history: 7/10
Aesthetics: 6/10
Home advantage: 5/10
TOTAL: 39/70

RUCK verdict: Twickenham has the history, but it's crying out for an upgrade. The matchday experience isn't what it should be, and the journey home is a test of patience. The RFU need to invest, and fast.
