Ireland v Argentina
-
The late introduction of 1-cap Addison into midfield not helping. But he’s growing into game.
-
Ireland making complete hames of the lineout.
-
Sanchez in song with the boot from a penalty.
12-14.
Very ragged. The team against Italy were more coherent.
-
SOB with a knock. Leavy coming on.
-
Penalty from halfway for Ireland. Sexton knocks it over.
15-14 at HT.
-
Toner makes such a difference from the bench.
Yes - Lukey goes over.
25-17.
Coming to the boil now- Argentina very much in this.
-
Jeez this ref is poor on the offside line.
-
Finally a penalty given for offside.
28-17 with 4 mins to go. It ain’t over yet.
-
POM. What a steal.
-
Addison has been superb with his first starting cap. Tackles like Henshaw.
-
James Ryan.
If he keeps going like this, people might actually say he’s good.
Motm.
Well done the Machine.
Commiserations Arg. 9-0. The pain continues. -
-
Argentina with a scrum and Ireland may well have lost.
They’ll probably bring back toner to shore up the line out and we should test wunderkid Larmour under the high ball if Kearney is not back at 15.
Without Murray, sexton looked somewhat average, his kicking from hand was poor.
Thought Addison made a decent enough fist of his first start.
