This Irish team have had a habit of bouncing back after disappointing performances.
WHILE IRELAND STRUGGLED against the All Blacks, their three upcoming opponents had a weekend to remember, serving Andy Farrell’s side warning that it won’t be plain sailing for the rest of November.
It’s certainly not inconceivable that the Wallabies could come into the Dublin clash having won all three of their games on tour. There is plenty for Ireland to fix up after an error-strewn showing against the All Blacks in which their attack just never got firing. Issues at the breakdown, lineout, and basic handling cost them time and time again.And yet, Ireland will feel the game was hugely there for the taking. Their defence was outstanding on many occasions, underlining that work rate wasn’t the issue.
As seems to always be the case with Ireland in these heady days of success, defeat has been met with some wild reactions calling for a full remodelling of the squad or a couple of the coaches’ heads. And yet, while a couple of changes to the matchday 23 were probably always planned for this Argentina game, it would be a surprise if there is not a major overlap in selection from last weekend.
He pointed out that his team have bounced back strongly before, which they did as recently as July to win that second Test in South Africa.
