Irish rugby team impress with win over Argentina

Ireland achieve 46-24 win over Argentina

Ireland center Gordon D’Arcy paid tribute to the new look pack and to his Leinster out-half Sexton, who ran the game from the pocket.

D’Arcy said, “The tight five were superb. They’re absolutely shattered. I take my hat off to them because we had front-foot ball and that makes you world so much easier.

“It’s a very Irish thing not to tell people when they do stuff well but I was the first one over to those guys. I’ve huge admiration for what they did. “You might take Jonny for granted but we don’t, we’re absolutely blessed to have him. His selection of plays was first-class and he showed why he’s one of the best out-halves in the world. He controlled the game.”

Ireland forward Peter O’Mahony refused to point the finger at the Argentineans after allegations he was gouged during the game.

Irish players complained to the referee at the time but no action has yet been taken against any Argentinean with the matter now in the hands of the citing commissioner.

O’Mahony said, “That’s not for me to decide. It’s for other people. As far as I’m concerned, it’s nothing to do with me.”
