IRELAND V ARGENTINA TEAMS

   IRELAND V ARGENTINA

Ireland have it all to do to beat Argentina at the Aviva Stadium at 2pm today.

The Pumas joined the ranks of the Tri-Nations of New Zealand, South Africa and Australia to form the inaugural Rugby Championship earlier this Season.

Despite being guided by Graham Henry, they failed to win a game in their first season down-under.

However, match-day games will give them an advantage over Ireland for this encounter.

The added incentive of World Cup points will make sure that this will be a keenly contested encounter.

The result will decide the outcome of the seedings for the next Rugby World Cup 2015 in England, it may also decide Declan Kidney's future as Ireland coach.
