O’Donovan: Puma pack will try to ‘rattle’ Irish forwards

NIALL O’DONOVAN is expecting the Argentinean pack to up the ante in tomorrow’s second test in the Estadio Jose Amalfitani, Velez Sarsfield in Buenos Aires.

The Ireland forwards coach was delighted that the tourists held their own against one of the most formidable forward units in world rugby in the first test in Santa Fe last weekend, but the Shannon man has his troops on guard for a potential backlash from the Pumas.

“They would look at their scrum as their strong point and are going to come out and try to rattle us at the start of the game. There is no doubt about that. We need to get into our game plan as quickly as possible.
