    Joe Schmidt is a big fan of Will Addison's and you can certainly see why. The Ireland coach played an instrumental role in enticing Addison over to Ulster from Sale Sharks and he has looked like a prototype Schmidt player in his first Test start.

    He's been heavily involved in all of Ireland's best attacks so far and he's communicating well with Sexton and Aki in that midfield defence.

    The beauty of his inclusion for Henshaw is that he's almost a like-for-like replacement both physically and in terms of skill and Ireland have used his size to attack their restarts

    That's a bit of a shame for James Ryan, he did everything right. I think he got done for taking out the nine but that's really unfortunate. It's an illustration of the day so far, Ireland have done everything right but then they're just giving away penalties.

    That's three from three and that's the best of the lot from left of the posts. Argentina retake the lead.

    Bundee Aki is penalised for a late tackle on Nicolas Sanchez, and the Argentine fly-half will dust himself off before having another crack at the posts.

    Ireland 12-11 Argentina

    Ireland lose another line out after a knock on by James Ryan. It should have been an attacking platform for Ireland but it gives Argentina another chance to attack.

    John McEnerney: Argentina always start well against us, remember World Cup 2015. Sexton will start barking orders all over the shop now & get the troops in line. Ireland will unleash on the Pumas now!

    Ireland are fortunate to turn defence into attack as Argentina's Garryowen kick lands favourably deep inside the Irish half, and Jacob Stockdale is able to clear his lines.

    It's a power game from Ireland, that's a bit of a Joe Schmidt signature. Once you get in the 22, you come away with the points.

    Bundee Aki

    Argentina lose the scrum and the crowd lift the Irish players as they go through the phases close to the white line. The centre bursts through a gap to dot down and reduce the arrears to just a single point.

    What a sensational break by Matias Orlando that led to that Delguy try! Ireland's scramble defence was poor and I have every sympathy for poor Rory Best, who was left one-on-one against one of the most dangerous wingers in world rugby - only one winner there!

    Argentina started narrow and predictable but that last passage of play was different - it was dynamic. It was a lovely pass from Sanchez in the end to make the extra number count.

    Ireland look comfortable defensively but they just ease the pressure on Argentina once again by conceding a penalty for a high tackle. It allows them to enter Ireland's half.
