The reactions to Ireland's second try are too painful to watch again

We believed.

SO NEAR, BUT yet, so far.

When Luke Fitzgerald tore through the Argentinian defence and popped the ball off to Jordi Murphy to score, Ireland’s comeback was well and truly on.

It brought Ireland back to within three points, 20-17, at the very start of the second half.

Look at that fist pump from Paulie. He truly believed that this was the moment:

Even President Higgins believed:

Ugh.

Schmidt: ‘We were probably a little bit naive. We missed a little bit of that experience’

How we rated Ireland in that emotional rollercoaster against Argentina

    Had reservations about what Leeds would do but Bielsa has really worked magic. It’s like he has focused on perfecting players strengths than wasting time on improving weaknesses. There are few teams that could comfortably commit too many players to attack their defence because of Leeds swift precise and deadly attacking and counter attacking. Much as I love the blades and Wilder I’m jealous seeing the way they play. No fluke, a masterplan of a few years in the making.

    @Pat Ryan: Bielsa and the way he has Leeds playing has restored my faith in the beautiful game, they are a joy to watch and I’m so glad Bamford has proven me wrong

    #alaw or for those not familiar with Irish Leeds fans, “all Leeds aren’t we.”
    Looking forward to getting back to the Peacock et cetera when normality returns. Meanwhile tonight and nights like this will do just fine.
