You might remember the first episode of In From The Side when we welcomed Argentina and Leinster legend Felipe Contepomi to the podcast. Cheekily, we looked ahead to a possible Argentina-Ireland quarterfinal and Felipe was pretty clear about where Argentina will target on Sunday.
"My biggest issue for them in this World Cup is how they would sort out not playing with Drico. They showed they can do so and that Johnny is the master of the orchestra."
Interesting comments, especially with Jared Payne's injury. Felipe also talked about the dangers that Juan Martin Hernandez will pose to Ireland on Sunday, and equally, the dangers posed by Argentina's vastly experienced centre partnership. (For what it's worth, Felipe think Hernandez should play at outhalf)
Tactically, Felipe praised Irish tackling at the breakdown and expects Argentina to 'move Ireland around'.
"I think Argentina will create spaces and try to move Ireland around. I think they will try to get a good set piece and try to develop some phases."
