We needed this

Today is St Luke’s Day.

That’s actually a fact. But the patron saint of artists, physicians, surgeons, students and butchers has nothing on Irish rugby’s patron saint of giving us some hope when it looked like our World Cup hopes were disappearing fast.

The Leinster man got Ireland back in the game with this stunning try after a clever pass from Robbie Henshaw.

Sure, it wasn’t exactly the best defending from the Argentines, but at this stage of the game nobody in green was too bothered by that.

They were just thankfully for saintly Luke giving them a lifeline.
