History suggests Ireland will rebound but more to bouncebackability than fixing errors

Having retained all but one of his starting line-up from last weekend’s backward steps, Farrell highlighted the aspects of Ireland’s game that went missing that night

Ireland have the chance to put things right after a disappointing loss to New Zealand. 

A week on from the deep disappointment of Ireland’s error-strewn no-show against New Zealand, Caelan Doris acknowledged his team had been given a “second chance” by head coach Andy Farrell for Friday night’s Autumn Nations Series clash with Argentina.

Recent history suggests that Ireland will rebound and redeem themselves at the Pumas’ expense at Aviva Stadium following that 23-13 defeat, just as they have done in the wake of previous losses to the All Blacks in 2022, England in last season’s Six Nations, and world champions South Africa last July.
