Ireland and France share top billing as the teams to have impressed in the November Tests said Argentina coach Mario Ledesma after his side were at the wrong end of a 53-7 drubbing by the Irish on Su…
DUBLIN (AP) Most of the Ireland pack which edged the All Blacks was retained to neutralize Argentina and it duly delivered to set up a record 53-7 victory at Lansdowne Road on Sunday. Late changes to the pack were made just before kickoff after injuries to lock Iain Henderson and No.
Coach Mario Ledesma went into the rugby test against a rampant Ireland believing his Pumas could beat them in Dublin for the first time on Sunday. After less than three minutes, he was even more heartened, after offloads by his side gave space for wing Mateo Carreras to step and surge clear for the opening try, a beauty.
Argentina coach Mario Ledesma lamented two years of "bubble" life but insisted that was not an excuse for the Pumas' poor results this year, which culminated in a 53-7 whipping by Ireland on Sunday.
