Ireland will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing defeat by New Zealand when they host Argentina in Dublin tonight.
Andy Farrell’s side gave an uncharacteristically sloppy and ill-disciplined performance against the confident All Blacks at the Aviva Stadium last week to kick off their latest Autumn Nations Series campaign, losing 23-13 to end a formidable run of 19 consecutive victories in front of their home fans for the reigning Six Nations champions.
It was a frustrating way to begin the month for the Men in Green, who drew an epic but short series with World Cup holders South Africa in the summer.
They will be expected to swiftly right those wrongs against Argentina, with Fiji and Australia also scheduled to visit Dublin in the coming weeks before Farrell hands the reins over to Simon Easterby as he prepares for next summer’s Lions tour down under.
The Pumas can never be taken lightly and put 50 points on Italy last weekend, having finished third behind South Africa and New Zealand in the latest Rugby Championship back in September.
