Ireland clung on at the death to hold off Argentina and bounce back from last week’s defeat by New Zealand, in a game packed with four yellow cards and which Ireland seemed in control of at half-time leading 22-9.

Ireland survived a fierce second half comeback from Argentina to narrowly defeat the Pumas 22-19 at the Aviva Stadium on Friday and just about bounce back from last week's disappointing loss to New Zealand.

Ireland respond to a first home defeat in more than three years with a 22-19 win over Argentina at the Aviva Stadium despite twice being reduced to 14 men.
