From an Irish point of view, it's been a pretty good week for some of the national teams.
In rugby, Joe Schmidt's side did not shine but still got a win at home to France, while the cricketers got their ICC World Cup campaign off to an impressive start by beating the West Indies.
Both of those matches feature among this week's standout sports images among others.
