IRELAND’S TOUR OF Argentina is all about earning wins in the two Test matches against Los Pumas, while adding a little depth to their squad, but that won’t stop the players from having a bit of craic too.
Yesterday, Joe Schmidt’s men trained at Hurling Club in Buenos Aires, where rugby, field hockey and tennis are the main sports. There is also still a strong GAA element at Hurling Club, and a couple of the Irish players demonstrated that with an impromptu puck around.
Here are some of the best pics from the session.
