    FT: Ireland 53-7 Argentina

    Ireland head coach Andy Farrell: "We are delighted with the win. It is a great day for us because we grow as a group, people got their chance and did pretty well, it is pretty satisfying overall.

    "That's how we train, we make sure we're all across our work, anyone who comes into the hotel on Friday or Saturday has to be ready to play.

    "We meet and review and take the lessons learned, we watch the lads over the next couple of months and hopefully they grow as players before they come back in and we hit the ground running for our first game of the Six Nations."

    Of course, worth remembering Argentina opened the scoring with a try after two minutes.

    FT: Ireland 53-7 Argentina

    Here is two-try man Josh van der Flier on Channel 4: "It was great. We did the things we wanted to do, got over the gain line, ball carrying was good.

    "Argentina are a good side and we knew we needed to stick with them, very physical. We knew if we fronted up that way it could be a good day for us.

    "It is very pleasing, we got the basics right, the ruck was good, tackle was good, the defence has been good over the past three weeks. It is very enjoyable."

    Argentina are over the line, Facundo Isa has the ball in hand, but there is a horde of green shirts beneath him!

    Slick hands from the Pumas, but they just can't find the gap. The visitors go wide but run out of room on the left. It'll be brought back for an Argentina penalty.

    Argentina win a line-out and with it surely the last chance to salvage a consolation.

    Seven tries for the hosts, then. All of those coming via the forwards.

    Can the backs do their bit for the scoreboard? They're running out of time with Argentina having the ball in hand and looking to swing it wide...

    Tadhg Beirne (77 mins)

    It's another!

    And that brings up Ireland's record score against Argentina.

    This hosts throw bodies into the corner and there is no stopping Tadhg Beirne, who picks up a metre or so out and powers his way over the chalk.

    Joey Carbery hits the post with the conversion - his only miss today!

    Cian Healy, con Joey Carbery (73 mins)

    This time, Cian Healy gets his score.

    There was only so long Argentina could keep Ireland out, with jab after jab thrown at the Pumas defence before Healy delivered the knockout blow from close range.

    Joey Carbery adds another two to edge the hosts towards the 50-point mark.

    Ireland want more.

    Green shirts are bundling towards the line...

    Into the final 10 minutes.

    Joey Carbery throws the deftest of dummies, just offering it to a team-mate before stepping inside a defender and going himself.

    Ireland can't capitalise on the broken field though, good recovering defence from Argentina.

    Dan Sheehan, con Joey Carbery (67 mins)

    This one should count!

    Just relentless from Ireland, who work the line-out superbly and then set it up for a great finish by Dan Sheehan, reaching out to touch down.

    Joey Carbery pops over the extras.

    No! Cian Healy just lost that before he could ground the ball, and Argentina for the moment survive.

    Cian Healy (65 mins)

    Ireland are in again!

    The home side move through wave after wave of attack before Cian Healy bundles over from close range.

    But did he have control of the ball?!

    Ireland 34-7 Argentina

    High tackle from Facundo Isa on Robert Baloucoune and Argentina are losing their discipline now. It's just a penalty, which is a relief for the Pumas.

    You'd think that is game over for Argentina, but they have the ball in hand and look determined to run it. That is before a little chip over the Ireland line is gathered by Joey Carbery, who is now at full-back for the home side.

    You can see why O'Mahony was furious.

    Tomas Lavanini went flying into the neck of Cian Healy while the Ireland man was on his knees by the ruck.

    And the Argentina forward is shown a red card, he shakes Healy's hand on his way off.
