Ireland are going to have a very special fan cheering them on today

It looks the Irish rugby team will have a very special person on their side today as they take on Argentina in the quarter-final clash.

We are all feeling confident that the team won’t let us down, despite being hampered by some injuries. However, it doesn’t hurt to have a little bit of magic on our side either.

@jk_rowling Will you be cheering for the Irish when we take on Argentina?

Harry Potter author JK Rowling took to Twitter to reveal that she will be rooting for the boys in green against Argentina.

After it was confirmed that Johnny Sexton would not be joining the squad, the news of the Harry Potter creator’s support brought a smile to many faces.

Unfortunately Johnny has not recovered from a groin injury he sustained in the match against France last week.

Ian Madigan will instead be taking his place on the team for today’s match.
