O’Connell hails discipline, but bemoans missed tackles

Ireland captain Paul O’Connell admitted sorting out missed tackles will be one of their biggest priorities this week as they prepare for the second and concluding test against the Pumas in Tucuman on Saturday.

The Munster star said there were plenty of encouraging aspects to take from the game, especially in light of all the changes, but there’s also room for improvement.

This is O’Connell’s first time in Argentina where Ireland have floundered in all three prior meetings and the Irish captain felt the way they responded to the opening Puma try was key.
