We have an indepth look at the two teams ahead of this afternoon’s 2019 World Rugby U20 Championship third round match. Kick off is at 10:30 in Argentina, 14:30 in UK/IRE.
The match should be streamed live here for those of us in the UK and will also be shown on EIR Sports.
Why is this match important?
Neither side can qualify from Pool B as top seeds though there is a way that Ireland could qualify for the top four. It would need Ireland to beat Italy by around 30 points, with a try bonus, and it would need either New Zealand or South Africa, who meet in Pool A, to lose by a similar margin, without a bonus point, or Argentina to beat France in Pool by around 20 points with France not picking up a bonus point.
All highly unlikely. Ireland’s main goal is to maintain their position as second seeds in Pool B
