Ireland vs Argentina, Build-Up and Match Thread
First topic message reminder :
Ireland's date with destiny fast approaches. Win and we are absolutely certain of a Second Tier seeding at the 2015 RWC. Lose... and we are at the mercy of other results. Argentina sit just ahead of us in the World Rankings table in sixth and will also be looking to copper-fasten their spot. There'll be no love lost between the two sides; these games are always confrontational and Argentina have a fair bit of momentum coming into this with a very credible win in Cardiff. They failed to register a win in their debut rugby championship season but the lessons learned make them a much more dangerous beast than the naive bruisers we've faced in the past. They've kept all their passion and physicality, but now have a fine young generation of elusive and skillful backs and a much better balance to their game. Two of those- Horacio Agulla and Lucas Amorosino- have been omitted by Santiago Phelan for this game but watch out for Juan Jose Imhoff and Gonzalo Camacho.
Talking of backs, Ireland coach Declan Kidney has a number of decisions to make after a much-changed backline ran rampant against against an admittedly under-strength and uncommitted Fijian side. Media and fans have been clamouring to see more of the likes of Craig Gilroy, Luke Marshall and Paddy Jackson but when he selects his side the Cork man has to counter-balance their obvious potential against the naivety of our last opponents and the value of experience. It would be no surprise if he mainly stuck to the conservative option; expect a few new faces but no radical, fundamental change. He'll be hoping Johnny Sexton recovers from an injury picked up in the warm-up on Saturday; he's scheduled to return to training on Thursday, the same day the team is named.
Teams to be edited in when they are announced. Discuss.

Well that's Chilli's boots gone!
Good second try for Sexytoes.
Are the Pumas that bad or are Ireland rampant? Or both?

Look at sexton doing the 'paddy Wallace'. In slightly more allowable circumstances.

This match is teaching us nothing really about Ireland. Argentina are probably worse than Fiji today.

Re: Ireland vs Argentina, Build-Up and Match Thread
Ireland have 2 games a year where they are superb
They were seconds away from a draw with the ABs in NZ, and perhaps should have won - then get 60pts put on them.
Can Ireland be a bit more consistent after this glorious victory?

Ireland are the new France. Baffling and disappointing underperformance punctuated by fantastic, unexpected brilliance.

Donnacha Ryan having a hell of a game,,he was lucky to start after a poor game against S.A. but he's really stepped up for this one.
Great to see him taking such delight in tries from Strauss and Sexton.

When McFadden comes on it should be for Earls and Bowe should move to 13.

There have been some very strange refereeing decisions in this game. None has been critical but ...

Almost a length of the field intercept by Bowe - he likes those.

Yeah that would work..... but I suspect the plan is to switch him for Gilroy...
