Ireland vs Italy RWC 2011: The final Pool match is a winner takes all clash between two European heavyweights and is a mouth-watering tie for any rugby fan. Ireland pulled off the shock result of the tournament by beating Tri-Nations champions, Australia, but still find themselves in this position due to the number of bonus points they have collected. A win on Sunday will see them finish top of Pool C and set up a probable quarter-final against fellow Home Nation, Wales.

I thought the Irish management would not make any changes from the team that defeated Australia, but no one can have any complaints over Ronan O'Gara's selection at out-half for this encounter. His performances both off the bench and his recent outing against Russia have rightly earned him his starting spot.
