Made a 40-metre break on one of his first carries. There was no stopping Caelan Doris here □ /mYUt0xAyU8" Just as effective, in attack and defence, after the break.

Made a lovely carry after latching onto an overthrow lineout. Teamed up with Carbery to win Ireland a turnover, by forcing a knock-on. Made a couple of nice carries, early on, and was the try-scoring beneficiary of a rumbling maul. Still out there crunching lads at the death. Took over the captaincy and didn't let up as Ireland closed out the win. Made a nice out-the-back pass to Baloucoune. In the wars again (when is he not?!) but quelled the Argentineans at the breakdown and was assured at the lineout and restarts. Made a huge carry in the lead-up to the Doris try, but that was his last action of the half (and game). Made some real punchy carries and captained well as he turned down kicks in favour of attacking lineouts. Came close to a late try before Healy bashed over, but was not going to be denied and helped himself to a score in the corner.

Decisive throwing in the lineout, close-in. Just needs to tighten up breakdown discipline, but otherwise excellent.īullocking run up the left-wing and found Doris in support. Made a crucial try-saving tackle on Carreras. Penalised 40 metres out to give Argentina penalty that they missed. Powered over from close range for Ireland's second try. Has been a revelation in adapting to a role that he primarily did as an underage player, before the professional switch to tighthead. Made a nice carry for some vital metres before Doris' try. Another kick almost led to Carreras scoring again but followed that up with a pearler that Lowe claimed. Passing accuracy was not 100% there either, for a patchy first 20.

Put one beauty of a clearing kick deep into the Argentina half. Claimed a big Murray steepler to set Ireland up for the Doris try.įirst big moment - after landing his early conversion and penalty attempts - was to team up with van der Flier for a tackle that won a turnover. ![]() Linked up well with Ringrose before the attacking lineout led to Porter's try. Mostly required for clearing kicks and touch-finders as both sides sparred in the early stages. Lasted 65 minutes and can be pleased with his performance. Had one loose kick that he was upset with. His physicality sees him turn losing positions into gains, however minimal, and grew into the game (his first of the season). Kept the backline pressing forward as Ireland kept up a rapid pace. Made an excellent carry-give-carry up the left-wing that gained his team 40 metres. Early knock-on, but pass to him was too high.
