Both too close to call, both simarly ranked teams, only one team has never made it to a semi final from the bunch though...

Can an ascendant Wales squeek past a well firing Argentina who have perhaps failed to spark this tournament

Can a 17 match unbeaten run Ireland get the monkey off their backs and make it through versus a 3 time world cup winning union?

Don't miss either!

Ireland trailing by a point at half time. The quarter curse is real I feel. If this team can't do it, will any ever manage it?

AB's of a year or two ago would've spent the first half figuring out ways thru the other team, and then steamroll them in the second half.

I think they figured them out before the kick off. Chips over devastating them. Targetting that lineout hard too. Kicking game neutralised. ABs looking unassailable
