Ireland Rugby Union World Cup 2011 Squad - Ireland Betting Odds

The 2011 Rugby World Cup will be hugely interesting for the Irish Team as they look to finally make it beyond the Quarter-Finals for the first time, on occasion the Irish are a match for any team in the world but they are likely to fall just short in the big matches. They have plenty of talent in their squad and will be the subject of plenty of money from patriotic punters both in the build up to the tournament and right throughout the matches in New Zealand.

Ireland have been drawn alongside the likes of Australia and Italy in Pool C but they will be expected to make it through to the last eight, the match against Australia will be the big one for them as they look to take on and beat one of the favourites for the tournament. The Irish have come up short a number of times against the southern hemisphere teams and that will be something they will need to put that right at the 2011 Tournament.

In Brian O'Driscoll and Paul O'Connell, Ireland have two players of the highest quality they will be hoping will lead them to a successful tournament, both players are former Captains of the British and Irish Lions and they will need all of that experience once again in 2011. O'Driscoll has been the talisman for the Irish for many years now and although he may be slightly past his best he still has the ability to turn a game and inspire his team mates
