Ireland have proved under Andy Farrell that they react in a winning fashion after bad defeats and the head coach wants that trend to continue against Argentina on Friday night
And the head coach insists an honest appraisal of last Friday's sub-standard performance against the All Blacks will lead Ireland back to the right stuff against a potent Pumas side tomorrow night.
"When you’re a pretty honest group it makes it easier to find solutions, get to the point straight away and make sure we turn the page as soon as we can. "Our way, whether we've won or lost anyway, is just to get people talking in small groups or bigger groups, units - as a team everything is out in the open and being honest.
Farrell's Ireland has not backed up a bad performance with another one and Pumas boss Felipe Contepomi will be acutely aware of that this week. Aki aside, a number of other players know they are fortunate to have held onto a starting place after the 23-13 defeat that knocked Ireland off the top of the world rankings and into third place.
