Ireland looking for Argentina in RWC 2011 draw

The draw for the 20-11 Rugby World Cup will be made in London this afternoon.

Ireland have officially preserved their second-tier seeding after their win against Argentina in Croke Park.

The Pumas stay in the top rank with their southern hemisphere brethren: New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.

Declan Kidney's side will be drawn against one of these sides but can't be grouped with France, England or Wales this time round.

The Irish will also have to play one from the Band 3 countries– Scotland, Fiji, Italy, and Tonga.

Meanwhile the final two teams in each of the four pools will come from the qualifiers.
