And another charge down and Ireland now have the ball in the 22!

Can they make an early breakthrough?

Juan Cruz Malilia gathers at the second attempt from the kick off, and the ball is charged down as Argentina look to clear!

They regroup, but that's a shaky start!

Argentina are a force to be reckoned with. They have disposed of New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and France and will want to add Ireland to that list.

What a job Felipe Contepomi has done

Off we go!

Jack Crowley sends the ball into the Dublin night!

Right, that's set the tone nicely.

Who do we fancy then? Ireland to bounce back or will the Pumas roar in Dublin?

I have to say, that's an absolute belter of an anthem and the smatterings of Argentine support are making themselves heard.

Over to you, Ireland.

It's time for the anthems in Dublin, starting with Argentina.

Can they spoil the party?

Only one change shows that Andy Farrell knows how good his team should be and that he expects a response tonight.

Zombie gets an early run-out.

Don't we usually get that accompanying an Irish win at full-time?

Now a bit of Fatboy Slim. For pre-game, it's hard to beat.

Here come the teams!

There was a lot of talk about the Aviva Stadium's atmosphere for the All Blacks game last week.

Yeah, it was pretty flat. But in fairness, it's difficult for the crowd to get invested in a game as stop-start and error-filled as last week's.

Fans are still making their way to their seats from the bars at the moment, but perhaps, with a more free-flowing performance tonight, Lansdowne Road will find its voice.

Less than 10 minutes to kick off and the excitement is building.

How are we feeling?

Argentina, who reached the semi-finals at last year's World Cup, also secured some big results in this season's Rugby Championship, beating New Zealand in Wellington and world champions South Africa at home. They also scored 67 points in a home win over Australia.

Ireland have won 13 of the 19 Test encounters between the countries - including all 10 at home - but the Pumas have won three of their four World Cup encounters including the most recent 2015 quarter-final when they earned a 43-20 win over an injury-hit Irish side in Cardiff.

Robbie Henshaw, Conor Murray, Cian Healy and Iain Henderson, all of whom featured that day, are still in the Ireland squad while Matias Alemanno and Connacht's Santiago Cordero remain part of Argentina's plans although they have not been named in the squad for Friday's match.

Argentina coach Felipe Contepomi is back in Dublin where he spent six years as a player with Leinster between 2003 and 2009 in addition to a later four-season coaching stint with the Irish province.

Argentina's back row is just box office. They have an incredible set of options there and they can be so influential tonight.

Having Johnny Sexton in the Ireland camp is almost like having Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. The players will always be looking to him and it's time to move on from him and get each of these young out halves their own stamp on the team

While Jack Crowley has been given another chance after being withdrawn just before the hour mark against New Zealand, the uncapped Sam Prendergast is set to make his debut having replaced his Leinster team-mate Ciaran Frawley on the bench.

Prendergast was one of the stars of Ireland's Under-20s Six Nations Grand Slam win in 2023 and also impressed during this year's Emerging Ireland series in South Africa, starting three games at fly-half in the space of the week.

"He's ready," Farrell said of 21-year-old Prendergast.

"For a young fella who has not had much game time provincially, he's obviously had more of late, but in an ironic way he's been patient enough because in his own mind he's thought he's been ready for quite some time. He's that type of kid, he's confident.

"The experience he's had around the squad, he's a lot more comfortable in his own skin. The reason for taking him on the Emerging [Ireland] tour was to make sure he understood what it was to grab hold of his team and show that he's in charge and he showed that in abundance.

"We've seen the knock-on effect of that in the squad the past couple of weeks."

Earbuds in, pre-match playlist pumpin'.

This is a big night for Jack Crowley. He's started every Ireland game at fly-half since Johnny Sexton exited the scene.

He enjoyed a good Six Nations but looked a little lost during the All Blacks defeat last week.

For a while, Ciaran Frawley looked primed to challenge him for the coveted 10 jersey after his drop-goal heroics in South Africa.

Frawley's hopes have, however, been dashed for now. After a disappointing cameo last week, he has dropped out of the 23 with Leinster team-mate Sam Prendergast stepping in and ready to make his debut.

Will Prendergast be breathing down Crowley's neck by the end of the night, or will the Munster man have tighten his grip on the out-half role? Prendergast is 21 and Crowley 24. Could be a big night for both.

It's been a busy week for the Aviva Stadium, with four big matches in the space of a week - two of which have happened in the last 24 hours.

Ireland's blockbuster with Argentina kicked off the busy period last Friday, and football's FAI Cup final between Drogheda United and Derry City took place on Sunday.

The pitch looked good for the Republic of Ireland's 1-0 win over Finland last night, and now Andy Farrell's side are back in business tonight.

I wouldn't like to be the person who switches between the football and rugby posts, but the ground staff at the Aviva Stadium are known as some of the best in the business.

At both ends of the experience scale, Cian Healy could equal Ireland's appearance record off the bench, while Thomas Clarkson is set to make his debut.

A big night for both men.
