Most of the Ireland pack which edged the All Blacks was retained to neutralise Argentina, and they duly delivered to set up a record 53-7 victory at Lansdowne Road in Dublin on Monday (NZT). 8 Jack Conan, but they weren't missed as the forwards bossed the Pumas in the tight and the collisions and tellingly scored all seven of their tries. Because Ireland started favourite - never having lost to the Pumas in Dublin - there wasn't the charged atmosphere there was for the All Blacks game but an air of inevitability. A man down, the Pumas couldn't prevent further rolling maul tries by Dan Sheehan, Healy and Tadhg Beirne. Just for good measure, the Irish didn't give the Pumas a compensation score after the hooter when they held up Facundo Isa beside the posts.
