A panel of rugby greats gathered at Sam's Bar in Dublin on Tuesday night for the launch of the Boast App.
During the discussion - which was hosted by Ger Gilroy - Isa Nacewa, Tania Rosser, Mick Galwey and the recently retired Kevin McLaughlin made their predictions for Sunday's Rugby World Cup quarter-final between Ireland and Argentina.
Nacewa - who recently returned to these shores to play for Leinster - was the most optimistic of the panelists, deeming that Ireland would emerged victorious by 12 points.
Given injuries sustained during the final pool stage game against France and Tuesday's news that Sean O'Brien has been handed a one week suspension, that's a result we would happily take right now.

Less confident of an Ireland win were both Mick Galwey and Ireland women's player Tania Rosser. The ex-Munster man felt Joe Schmidt's side will come out on top by five points, while Rosser thought it will be even tighter.

Most cautious was former Leinster back row Kevin McLaughlin. He believes the Pumas are 'immeasurably' better than France and that the game will be much closer than the 15 point margin by which Ireland beat the French last weekend.
