BIG SURGES FROM Juan Martín González and Bautista Delguy brought the Pumas from the halfway line all the way into Ireland ’s 22 in the space of 15 seconds and Irish supporters’ hearts were suddenly in their mouths.Craig Casey stretched out to haul Delguy down and Ireland recovered their defensive line as the 14-man Pumas attack slowed. Still, they edged forward. Argentina edged even closer, up towards the Irish five-metre line. And then came Cian Healy and Joe McCarthy’s intervention.
The 23-year-old second row was named player of the match after a hard-working shift for Andy Farrell’s side. McCarthy had a few of those but among the most enjoyable was scrummaging behind debutant tighthead prop Thomas Clarkson when Ireland won a scrum penalty in the 65th minute.“So, so good,” said McCarthy, “delighted for him. He’s so dedicated to getting here, such a diligent player, a real smart tighthead. I love scrummaging behind him.
