EDDIE O’SULLIVAN’S USA will face Ireland in the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand.

The United States booked a place at Rugby World Cup 2011 with a 27-6 second-leg victory over Uruguay in Florida.

USA EAGLES head coach Eddie O’Sullivan is hoping his side are not left to rue a late Uruguay points rally in the first leg of the Rugby World Cup 2011 play-off.

Ireland coach Declan Kidney has played down talk of personal rivalry between himself and his predecessor, new USA coach Eddie O’Sullivan, ahead of their sides’ meeting in Santa Clara, California tomorrow.

Eddie O’Sullivan has named a squad split between youth and experience for his first Test as USA Eagles head coach later this month.
