Ireland will be hoping to bounce back from a first home defeat since the 2021 Six Nations as they host Argentina in Dublin as the Autumn Nations Series continues.
Andy Farrell’s side were beaten by New Zealand last Friday after producing a strangely sloppy performance, and face another significant challenge against a Pumas side in flying form. Farrell has made minimal changes to his starting line-up as he backs his experienced squad to go again and correct the errors of a week ago.
Argentina are overseen by former Leinster player and coach Felipe Contepomi, who has enjoyed an excellent year since stepping up to a head coaching role. The Pumas pushed South Africa for the title to the final weekend of the Rugby Championship and thrashed an ever-improving Italy in their November opener last Saturday. Can they cause a shock here?
