If you can’t beat them.
If you an Irish rugby fan, or even just a sports fan in general, then there is only one show in town this afternoon.
The World Cup quarter-final in Cardiff at 1pm between Ireland and Argentina is the biggest sporting occasion of the last few months.
Everyone will be glued to their tellys at 1pm for the game as Joe Schmidt’s side look to make some Irish sporting history and other sporting organisations know they can’t compete
Some GAA county boards have pushed back their senior hurling or football finals so they don’t clash with this afternoon’s action, but for some sports they don’t have that luxury.
That’s why the cunning folk at Horse Racing Ireland have decided that instead of trying to sell their product against the rugby, they’re going to welcome any fans of the oval ball, and the sport of kings to two of their tracks this afternoon for free.
