Beirne stakes claim but happy to ‘take it one game at a time’

You would imagine Chicago will hold a special place in Tadhg Beirne’s heart for quite some time after his double try-scoring first start for Ireland at the weekend.

Yet Beirne and the rest of the squad that returned from the United States yesterday morning have had to quickly turn the page on their 54-7 mauling of Italy at Soldier Field having reunited with the rest of Ireland player group to prepare for Saturday’s sold-out Aviva Stadium clash with Argentina.
