Why October 11th could be the greatest Irish sporting day of 2015

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!
