Argentina nearly did it tonight. Ireland ultimately with too much discipline in that defense to overcome. And too many caps, far too many caps - when are some of the 100+ retiring?
Looks to me like Ireland’s old bodies aren’t going the distance and they’re not getting a lot out of their bench so far. Probably similar to the ABs they should have started getting more experience into some of the players sooner.

Envious of Argentina. We were 5th in the world once but have never been able to take the next step in terms of collecting the big scalps.
Nor did Argentina take that scalp tonight. And we were 4 pts shy ourselves this year in Dublin. Home adv may mean that it’s a coin flip in 2025!
Don’t give me hope!
