            Not sure it would be that much of an upset against that raw backline with both centres and wings having 5 caps between them. However, Ireland have never lost in Dublin to them so it should be a cracking match - got my ticket today so looking forward to yet another grudge-match between the two where no love is lost. Weather looks shite though and it may become a shit-fight up front.

            Schmidt pushing the depth boat hard in this series to get players tried out. Conway and Stockade look the most promising. I think Byrne is going to get found out defensively.

              Massive upset. Ireland has done a good job of developing depth. There's still a known quantity in the pack and plenty of talent and nous to strangle Argentina by resorting to 10 man rugby.

                It would be a complete upset. Ireland are a seriously well-drilled side with a 9 and 10 that suit their game-plan perfectly. Argentina have largely been very average since 2015 - their current world ranking (they just moved ahead of Fiji again) tells you all you need to know.

                False modesty is unbecoming Pot Hale šŸ˜‰

                  I call it humility, BT - especially where Argentina is concerned. And it ain't false.
                  Mind you, Ireland is on a 6-game streak, so you never know..... šŸ˜‰
