Mark those diaries sharpish lads.

October 11th 2015. This is a day that most Irish sporting fans will be looking forward to. Here’s why:

Rugby World Cup – Ireland v France

This clash between the two favourites for Pool D should determine who gets to play Argentina or New Zealand in the quarter-final.

It’s in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff with a 4.45pm kick-off.

European Championship Group D – Poland v Ireland

Shane Long got us out of jail last night with a last-gasp equaliser, but this match, the final one of Group D will go a long way to deciding our fate.

This one kicks off at 7.45pm.

So there you have it. Pool D and Group D make this the ultimate sporting D-Day.

I’m asking for October 12th off now!
