Ireland hold off Argentina fightback to return to winning ways in DublinBy Ed Elliot, PA, DublinIreland survived a major scare as they kickstarted their autumn campaign by holding off a spirited Argentina side to return to winning ways with an unconvincing 22-19 victory in Dublin. Andy Farrell’s men were seeking a response to being knocked off the top of the world rankings following last week’s deflating defeat to New Zealand. Jack Crowley helped Ireland to a narrow win over Argentina. Ireland appeared to have made a nightmare start when a poor pass from Henshaw’s midfield partner Garry Ringrose gifted Matias Moroni a third-minute try. The game was still very much in the balance at that stage as Ireland searched in vain for their first points of a stuttering second period.
