Ireland assured top spot in Rugby World Cup Pool D with an impressive victory over France at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium…Ireland will take on Argentina at the quarter-final stage next Sunday… However, this win came at a cost.

Peter O’Mahony, Jonathan Sexton and Keith Earls were also taken off injured and are major doubts for next week.”
