    Will Addison will have been brought along as 24th man this week. It's not always the best because you feel like a bit of a passenger, but now he's been thrown right in there. He's a very talented operator so I think he'll have no problem coping with it today.

    Ireland 0-3 Argentina

    Ireland respond well to going behind as they string a few phases together. They win a penalty but Johnny Sexton opts for the corner just 10 yards out. Here comes the shove.

    Andrew Priestley: Will Addison has been in great form for Ulster so far this season, he has a great rugby brain and brilliantly quick feet. Henshaw is a loss, but Addison is a more than adequate replacement to the starting XV.

    We're already missing Garry Ringrose and now you take out British & Irish Lions centre Robbie Henshaw and it's still a strong team. There's just so much depth in this Ireland side.

    We're currently being treated to a live performance of the Argentinean national anthem.

    There aren't as many visitors from South America at the Aviva tonight, as there were in Russia for the Football World Cup this summer, but it's still an incredibly passionate display.

    The Ireland players have just finished going through a very vigorous pre-match warm-up – perhaps a little too vigorous? Robbie Henshaw left the session early with a medic and the Leinster centre did not look too happy.

    Having not been in the original 23, Ulster's Will Addison now has a big opportunity and will make his first start in place of Henshaw.

    Incidentally, Joe Schmidt was, as usual, manning the right wing for the non-starters – and he certainly has a decent turn of speed.

    This Argentinean team is slightly different to the traditional solid pack, a strong 10 and not much behind that. This team has an electric backline and a young pack of up-and-coming guys. They’ve probably got a lot to prove but they’re coming up against a really strong Ireland side today.

  18. Last minute changepublished at 18:18 GMT 10 November 2018

    BBC Radio Ulster are saying that Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw has injured himself in the warm-up, with Will Addison likely to be his replacement in the starting XV.

    It’s a glorious autumnal day in Dublin but with a hint of dampness on the breeze. A perfect day for rugby after several days of heavy rain.

    The sight of the Aviva Stadium gleaming through the Dublin 4 foliage never fails to quicken the pulse and Ireland supporters will be thrilled by the prospect of today’s game after the one-sided nature of the win over Italy in Chicago last week.

    Irish teams are always wary of Argentina, with the 2015 World Cup quarter-final defeat still sticking in the memory, but there are just five survivors from that Pumas team that started in Cardiff three years ago.

    The tourists have picked an entirely home-based squad for these games as new head coach Mario Ledesma builds for the future – so will the next generation of Pumas hold the same intimidation factor for the Grand Slam champions?
