30th September – Ireland and Rugby World Cup

Ireland are out of the Rugby World Cup. They did not really look like a team that believed they could win. Argentina really wants to prove a point to the Southern hemisphere teams. Ireland have missed their best chance in many years to impress. Next time in New Zealand will be much more difficult! I think Ireland always expected to be playing New Zealand in Cardiff and the team though that they did not have any hope of advancing beyond that so just gave up.
