Argentina 20 - 10 Ireland
The first half of the Rugby World Cup quarter-final has been an emotional upheaval.
We've shipped yet another casualty in Tommy Bowe and Argentina have breached the Irish fortress twice. But Luke Fitzgerald's try and a penalty from Ian Madigan has rekindled our hopes.
We're not going to lie, it was looking grim there for a minute. But a flash of brilliance from Fitzgerald to snatch that try, aptly assisted by Ian Madigan has propelled our hopes back up again. Here is how the rugby world has received the first forty minutes. We can barely sit still as we wait for the second helping after half-time.

Now! There you go! Come on Ireland! This is nothing a Paul O'Connell team talk and a few orange segments can't sort out. #IREvARG

Tommy Bowe's knee receiving attention. Doesn't look a happy camper. Luke Fitzgerald set to enter
