Overloaded Pumas have lost fear factor

‘Revenge: The action of inflicting harm on someone for an injury or harm suffered at their hands.”

Is it any wonder Joe Schmidt was so quick to dismiss the suggestion, on the back of Ireland’s win over Fiji, that next Saturday’s game against Argentina would descend into a revenge mission after what happened the last time the two sides met?

To suggest that a win next weekend would in some way erase the memory of that fateful, 2015 World Cup quarter-final defeat at the Millennium Stadium, is daft.
