Summary:This morning at 7.30 in Adelaide, Ireland take on Argentina in the match which makes or breaks their quarter-final chances in Pool A, which we might, for argument's sake, call the Group of Death, given that the hosts and holders Australia are expected to end on top of the five-strong pile. After the International Rules game between Ireland's Gaelic footballers and Australia's Aussie Rules Footballers at the MCG on Friday night, and before the Irish-dominated Melbourne Cup, the stakes will be even higher. IRELAND: 15 Girvan Dempsey, 14 [Shane Horgan], 13 [Brian O'Driscoll], 12 [Kevin Maggs], 11 [Denis Hickie], 10 David Humphreys, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Victor Costello, 7 Alan Quinlan, 6 Simon Easterby, 5 Paul O'Connell, 4 Malcolm O'Kelly, 3 John Hayes, 2 [Keith Wood] (captain), 1 Reggie Corrigan.
