Rugby:  Ireland vs Argentina: It’s Going Down For Real

As you know, the Rugby World Cup has been going on recently. After a thrilling set of games in the group stage we are now into the knockout stages. Ireland trampled France last Sunday to ensure that they played second place finishers in pool C Argentina instead of first place finishers in pool C New Zealand. Ireland were red hot during the group stages and finished top of their pool with 18 points. New Zealand also finished top of their pool. Ireland were very happy to win against France because if they lost they would have had to play New Zealand (the best rugby team in the world).  Another reason why they didn’t want to play New Zealand is because they have never beaten the All Blacks, which surprises me because Ireland are a very good team. Argentina will look to shock the world in the up-coming quarter final match against the men in green. Even though Ireland are the favourites, rugby is a very unpredictable sport so you never know what might happen. So a big weekend for rugby! Go Ireland!!
