Two-time rugby World Cup winner and self-confessed “golf tragic” Dan Carter is eager to see the result of a new programme aimed at boosting participation for golfers with a disability in Ireland 22bet
The former New Zealand fly-half was in Dublin this week to help launch the partnership 22bet between Golf Ireland and ISPS Handa which will see the latter sponsor the Irish Open for Golfers with a Disability in June 2024 and become the lead partner of Golf Ireland’s Golf4All programmes 22bet
Carter, who is an ambassador for ISPS Handa, said: “I know at ISPS Handa they are going to look at different sporting events, different organisations about partnering with them 22bet
“One of the most important things is they really have a lot of values 22bet
So to learn about Golf Ireland and wanting to make Golf4All is a perfect alignment for ISPS Handa 22bet
“It’s a really exciting partnership and one that’s going to work for both sides 22bet
I’m really intrigued to see how this partnership evolves and also the uptake of golf here in Ireland 22bet
“I’m a bit of a golf tragic, I think I’m much 22bet better than I actually am, so it’s great to be back here in Ireland and next time I can guarantee I will be bringing my golf clubs 22bet
”Fellow ISPS Handa ambassador and world number two Brendan Lawlor added: “The beautiful thing about this partnership is it’s going to give so many disability golfers in Ireland a chance at every level, a chance at G4D events, to get disability children into the game and also to get anyone in any walk of life into the game and it’s fantastic 22bet
“Golf Ireland are definitely the most progressive foundation and organisation in disability golf at the minute 22bet
“We meet every few months for different meetings to talk about different ways to try and boost the game and get different people into the game 22bet
“It’s wonderful to see an organisation that’s willing to work with you to make great things happen 22bet

Michael Cheika refused to assess the entirety of Argentina’s Rugby World Cup campaign or his tenure as head coach of the Pumas 22bet
Coming off a harrowing 44-6 semi-final defeat to New Zealand in which they’d been totally outclassed in every facet of the game, perhaps his reticence was understandable 22bet
Next Friday’s third-place play-off against the loser of the second semi-final 22bet between England and South Africa merely provided a handy excuse 22bet
It’s a game that players don’t want to play, spectators don’t want to watch and media don’t want to cover but it did give Cheika a week’s buffer to collect himself before he will have to answer the tough questions 22bet
“I can’t do that straight away,” said Cheika when asked to assess his time in charge of Argentina, which comes to an end after this World Cup 22bet
“I haven’t finished yet 22bet
“I know we won’t win World Cup but I’m happy to be at this level and they deserve to be here 22bet
Their play, ambition, ability to raise themselves after the first game [a pool-stage loss to England] 22bet
It’s another obstacle but we can be proud of our team and our capacity to deal with obstacles 22bet
Next week we have a game to play, at the end of the World Cup we will summarise and assess it 22bet
”The players were similarly on message with their adamance at the importance of the worst game in rugby 22bet
“There is one more game left, one more final,” said flanker Marcos Kremer 22bet
“We want to leave this World Cup winning and we are going to do everything to make it happen 22bet
”“We are going to prepare like a final 22bet
We are not satisfied with being here 22bet
We want a medal and we are going to fight for that," added wing Mateo Carreras 22bet
The value of a third-place play-off in an event defined by a trophy, rather than a medal podium, and its place in an already over-saturated playing calendar is a debate for another time but the Pumas can only keep the wolf at the door for so long 22bet
They will soon have to address exactly what happened in the second-most one-sided World Cup semi-final of all time – the eventual margin of defeat just narrower than the All Blacks’ 49-6 triumph over Wales in 1987 22bet
The All Blacks ran riot in the Stade de France (Getty Images)Three times in their rugby history, Argentina have reached the semi-final stage of the World Cup, with three losses to show for it 22bet
They have scored just one try across those 240 minutes and have a combined losing margin of 76 points 22bet
The celebrations and lap of honour after beating Wales in the quarter-finals in Marseille a week ago suggested that, deep down, the Pumas believed they had come as far as they could in this tournament 22bet
Both history, and the performance that followed against New Zealand, made it a self-fulfilling prophecy 22bet
They hardly imposed themselves on the All Blacks at the Stade de France 22bet
Phases of attack came to a grinding halt once they reached the All Black 22, with the ball inevitably jackalled away, the defensive line was torn to shreds by their opponents’ quick hands and clever lines, the scrum was splintered by a dominant New Zealand pack and basic handling errors defined the game 22bet
Frankly, it wasn’t a match befitting a World Cup semi-final and ensured the Pumas book-ended their tournament (barring next Friday’s bronze-medal irrelevance) with abject displays, after the lifeless opening loss to 14-man England 22bet
It is hardly a squad bereft of talent 22bet
The experience of Julian Montoya and Agustin Creevy leading the front row is complemented by an exciting, dynamic back-row trio of Juan Martin Gonzalez, Kremer and Facundo Isa that should be able to match almost any opposition 22bet
While questions remain at nine and 10, a back three of Mateo Carreras, Emiliano Boffelli and Juan Cruz Mallia is explosive enough to give any team fits 22bet
Argentina were dejected after slipping to a semi-final defeat (Getty Images)Perhaps a semi-final appearance shouldn’t be sneered at 22bet
Yes, they benefitted from being in the considerably weaker half of the draw but it equalled their best World Cup performance and you can only beat who’s in front of you 22bet
On paper, Cheika’s tenure – since taking the reins from the sacked Mario Ledesma in early 2022 – will be viewed as a success 22bet
A first-ever win over the All Blacks in New Zealand last summer and a World Cup semi-final is not a bad return 22bet
But in terms of the ‘eye test’, the Pumas never looked like an elite side and there’s a nagging feeling that they haven’t moved forward under the Australian 22bet
Cheika’s preferred coaching style of creating a ‘siege mentality, us against the world’ environment always seemed at odds with the largely personable Argentina squad 22bet
Media availability was limited – perhaps a poor fit for the historically open Pumas – and a bubble created around the team 22bet
Putting your stamp on things in just an 18-month period is tough, with Felipe Contepomi always slated to become head coach after the World Cup and learning the ropes as part of Cheika’s coaching team in the interim 22bet
The legendary Pumas fly half, who is also a cult hero at Leinster following playing and coaching spells there, will likely provide a different strategy in the build-up to the 2027 World Cup and it will be fascinating to see what he’s taken from his time working under Cheika 22bet
As for the Australian, he departs with his reputation certainly not damaged and maybe even enhanced 22bet
The 56-year-old will undoubtedly be in demand around the rugby world and should be able to have his pick from a number of exciting coaching opportunities 22bet
“It is not a sad moment,” insisted Cheika in the aftermath of defeat in Paris 22bet
“It’s a moment I’m proud of my team 22bet
We were in the semi-final of a World Cup 22bet
”Yes, they were 22bet
But the suspicion that there was a version of this Pumas side that still had more to give remains 22bet
