Cinti again loses the ball as he goes to ground but Argies had an advantage.

Pumas over but held up . . . back for the penalty. Another lineout. Come on Pumas!

What a jumbled mess that turned into. Argies over but no grounding, looks held up.

Argies lack their usual finesse.

Another penalty to the P umas . . . card coming?

Beirne probably in trouble here, went right under the maul.

Oh no he just fell that way from the lineout, never mind. Looked like he deliberately infringed on the live action.

No card. Pumas tap and go . . . good defence Ireland . . . Ireland turn it over . . . it's half time. Ireland 22-9 and you can't say it's not a deserved lead.

Big Ireland counter rucking and they get the turnover.

Ireland looks like they have the Argies' number here unless something drastically changes. Argies look like a midweek side again.

Back underway and Pumas have a lot of possession without much gain.

Penalty Pumas and they go for the corner . . . lineout lost though and Ireland clear.

Man the Argies look planless.

Mal lia breaks through and keeps going. Try to the Pumas. 22-14 with the kick to come . . . and it's over. 22-16. Pumas needed that.

Finally the break comes, Mal lia with a scorcher of a try.

Fabulous Bargie try…the step on Hanson would satisfy Kolbe

Mallia made some Irish stars look a bit ordinary there.

Crowley now with a terrible cross kick.

Mallia can't get past Gibson-Park though.

James Lowe pushes Puma player off the ball and it's a penalty. Attacking lineout to the Pumas . . . back for the penalty and this could be a yellow for McCarthy . . . yes. Offsid e on a penalty warning. 

Argies have a lineout on the Irish 22. Going blind where there's no space for some reason.

Alboryezzzz makes it 22-19. Argies within 3.

Irish pass goes straight into touch. Jitters? Sleepy Clarkson on again.

Crowley with an early tackle. Penalty Pumas . . . is it in range? They kick for the corner.

Great take in the air by Hansen . Waste of possession with a man advantage.

Albornoz misses the drop kick. Poor option if you ask me.

Albornoooooz pushes the droppie wide.

Argies pick and go themselves to a standstill, there's no momentum.

Piccardo on for Cinti who hasn' t had his best game.

Piccardo on for Cinti who hasn't been much of a shake.

Sleepy Clarkson wakes up in the middle of a fight.
