The Irish attack was clinical in the first half but they had a frustrating second 40.
IRELAND HAD PLENTY of reasons to feel pleased with themselves at half time on Friday night, having scored three tries against Argentina and nearly bagged a fourth.
Finlay Bealham’s yellow card for a croc roll soon after slowed Ireland down somewhat but Crowley added a smart drop goal to shift Ireland 15-6 ahead. Advertisement Ireland would have expected a backlash from Felipe Contepomi’s side in the second half, having seen them beat New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia earlier this year. They would have known there was better to come from this fine Argentina team and yet, Ireland probably felt they could kick on from their 22-9 lead.
Argentina were back within three points from the resulting Albornoz shot at goal and should have drawn level in the 55th minute when Albornoz was wide to the left with a very kickable drop goal attempt.
