Just a quick nod from me to a mouth watering tournament ahead. It seems to me to be a very different experience when Ireland aren't in there, it broadens your horizons and interest in the tournament as a whole.

Ok, first up I'm really looking forward to Argentina -v- Ivory Coast at 8p.m. this Saturday, that should be a cracker of a group phase game. That's a whole 12 hours after the sport starts on Saturday morning at 8a.m. with NZ -v- Ireland in the first test of Ireland's summer tour.

Secondly, if you are still stuck for someone to support in the World Cup
this will help and give you a good chuckle at the same time.
