    I don’t really care about the media comments and only talking about the team and I don’t think had any complacency but wanted desperately to win to avenge the WC loss

    I have access to NZ media and they do a lot of talking as well, Irish don’t seem to get as wound up as NZ and Bok fans so we don’t see the same online reactions

    The Bok constantly go on about Irish media yet have a listen to theirs and it’s a lot worse than anything Irish tv has ever said

    Let them off, at least Ireland is good enough for them to get wound up about our media, before that we didn’t even register on the World rugby stage

    Williams is spot on. The bookies have Ireland as -13.5, so the vast majority of people don't give Argentina much of a chance.

    Virgin the real interesting sub is predergast

    Sorry lads but the real interesting one is Clarkson and not Predergast. Front row is more problematic than 10

    The Virgin media player is truly awful. Have to sit through a 30 second ad almost constantly for any action.

    All depends on the old cliche of "Which Argentina team will turn up?".

    Ireland by 12

    I think we’ll see a reaction and win by 3+ scores.

    Very worried about this one. First 10 minutes will tell a story as to where we are in relation to last week.

    That’s a red card and a disallowed try.

    brilliant step from him on the finish - we look switched on which is great.

    Ah, that's a red. Leading with the head, clear view of what he's doing. Mitigation shouldn't come into it, never legal.

    Great stuff from Crowley. Keystone cops stuff for their disallowed try, raft of missed tackles.

    Lovely floated pass by JGP and clever inside one by Beirne

    You always know with Ireland in the first 5-10 mins if the sharpness is there and we’re on it. We obviously weren’t last week, but we absolutely are tonight. Great start.

    Great speed to width, lovely hands from Beirne to take advantage of the line and effort from Hansen. Really lovely stuff.

    Staying yellow for low degree of danger . Don't agree

    Considering Crowley shrugged it off, it's hard to argue.
