Ireland v Argentina - 15/11/2024 - (20.10)

[The Seeker]

I want Argentina to win, but I think Ireland will.

Ireland will win (and it's ok because I don't want Argentina to win this time anyway)

Like the toughness. We'll be fine, he'll get us back on top.

No Chocobares for Argentina. That's a big loss, he's been excellent. Lavanini and Kremer out as well. Their experience will be missed but they're also so inconsistent sometimes I'm not sure their absence is such a bad thing.

Ireland clear favourites but surely Argentina have learnt from the past? They put 67 on Australia then backed it up next game by beating the Boks. All the pressure is on Ireland here. If they make a few early mistakes and the Pumas capitalize it's game on. Vamos !

Soccer game in Lansdowne tonight so no captain's run for either team. Weird scheduling.

Soccer team barely deserve a man and his dog to watch either.

Love this man

I feel sorry for Frawley. Yes he was really poor when he came on but everyone can have a bad game. I don't think its in the interests of his development to drop him from the matchday squad.

He'll get another chance but you can't play like that with competition behind you and play the week after.

Henderson was the same, rightfully dropped.

If lads are playing with fear its a diffrrent story but Farrell has proven himself to not be fickle or punishing like Jones.

My biggest issue with Porter is he is clocking up huge mileage. This will effect him in time. Yes he has ability and noone is questioning that. But the next 10months are looking like they are going to be very intense on him.

I think that Farrell is starting to act a bit like Eddie Jones did with his selections. What do you do if Porter tears his ACL in the first minute, ask Healy to play 79 mins? i think he'd struggle to make half time. It makes no sense why in the first year of a rwc cycle you select 2 LH one of whom is a certainty to not make the wc and only plays in the last 10 mins - it's ridiculous that there isn't a Loughman or a younger prop getting a couple of mins. the same for the back row, why are Prendergast and Timoney in every squad yet i don't think either have had a game in the last couple of years
