Was thinking of going over, it being pretty close and with our kids being mad in to watching the Tokyo olympics. Thinking probably go camping for a week or so. Anyone know how easy/hard it is to get tickets for these things when they're abroad? Is there some kind of official ballot thing like the 2012 olympics / 2014 & 2022 commonwealth games?

Usually there's a round of pre-registration and typically sponsors get to steer the course so to speak, so if Mastercard are a title sponsor they'll offer people with a Mastercard first round of pre-registrations then it'll be lower tier sponsors then the general public but that's just pre-registration, actual ticketing is a complete lottery, in 2012 you bid for the tickets you wanted and paid up front then waited for the draw results and got refunded if you weren't successful.
France RWC ticketing for 2023 opened for pre-registrations months ago by the way.
