Juan Cruz Mallia makes it a one-score game as he punches a hole in the Irish defence at speed and steps around Hansen to race through. Lowe tries to snatch at his jersey but he’s too quick. An easy conversion brings Argentina back into this tie.
Rob Kearney has criticised the decision to allow play continue for as long as it did after the head-high challenge on Crowley. What are your thoughts?

Ireland 22-9 Argentina
Patchy stuff but that was solid defensive work from Ireland to see out the half without conceding a try. Credit to Ringrose for a well-time turnover while Doris also features to bring the ball forward before feeding Crowley to kick the ball out and bring the half to a close.
Andy Farrell will surely be happy with that first-half display. Three tries on the board from Crowley, Hansen and McCarthy, along with that dropgoal puts the hosts in a commanding position.
Frantic few moments there. Albornoz sends over a cross-kick for the winger to chase. The ball bounces and eventually falls to Keenan. But there’s another penalty for Argentina to come.

Hansen gets Ireland's second try after just 6 minutes!
Two tries in two minutes and Crowley is unlucky to see his second conversion fall short under the bar. It was another brilliant piece of play from Ireland, and it was all down to Garry Ringrose breaking the line to advance into Argentina’s half of the pitch.
Tadhg Beirne put the Connacht man Hansen in to finish at the corner.
Yellow card for Moroni and off field review, meaning the try is overturned. A let off for Ireland but it was a high challenge and a fair all. The play comes back to Argentina territory and Crowley kicks for the corner.
