Roving OATH Reporter: Dan McGuinness
Frustration that there seemed to be more TV coverage of injured players in the stands than action on the pitch. With Argentina much improved, especially out wide and Ireland missing key players in key positions (O'Connell, Sexton, O'Brien, O'Mahoney, etc) this was always going to be a bigger challenge than everyone previously thought. In the end, Ireland were in the game for 68 minutes, only for Argentina to score two great late tries to seal the win. Tommy Bowe leaving the pitch early and the lack of a second yellow card for the mad Argie prop, who seemed to want to get sent off, were key moments. Argentina have obviously benefitted from playing in the Championship and were worthy winners against a patched up Irish team.
