Carreras 2 <b>Con:<\/b> Albornoz<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b>Hugo Keenan scored a hat-trick of tries as Ireland opened the home leg of the Nations Championship with a commanding bonus-point win over Argentina in Dublin. <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In addition to Keenan, captain Dan Sheehan, Sam Prendergast and Ronan Kelleher crossed as Andy Farrell&#8217;s side punished a messy and ill-disciplined Pumas outfit, who scored twice through wing Mateo Carreras.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">On a deeply disappointing night for Argentina, who are still without an away win over Ireland after 12 attempts, Justo Piccardo and Ephraim Elias were sin-binned while they lost captain Julian Montoya to a failed head injury assessment before half-time. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But having closed the summer with a 40-21 loss to New Zealand in Auckland, it was a satisfying evening for Ireland, who move top of the northern hemisphere table before France, Scotland and England&#8217;s matches this weekend. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">With an opening home

e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In 2024 and 2025, Ireland opened the autumn with dispiriting defeats by the All Blacks, but Argentina were not able to offer a similarly unforgiving examination here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But the Pumas, who arrived in Dublin with just one win in six this year, initially silenced the crowd with a beautifully worked try. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Following a patient multi-phase attack, out-half Tomas Albornoz booted to the corner, where Carreras towered above diminutive Ireland scrum-half Craig Casey to claim the ball and score.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Casey was one of the surprise Irish selections, having been picked ahead of long-time Farrell favourite Jamison Gibson-Park. To his credit, Casey shook off his mismatch with Carreras to win the turnover penalty that put Ireland on the front foot for the first time as Argentina quickly lost their early momentum. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">From the resulting line-out, Ireland&#8217;s back three collectively carved Argentina open. The excellent Rob Baloucoune tore through midfield and offloaded to Hansen, who defied pressure from Bautista Delguy to send Keenan through. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Similar to Casey&#8217;s selection, the inclusion of Nick Timoney ahead of Josh van der Flier was reflective of Farrell&#8217;s intent to shake things up. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A thoroughly dependable operator, Timoney impressed at open-side flanker in the first half, turning Albornoz over before popping up in a line-out strike play to put Sheehan through for Ireland&#8217;s second. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">With the Argentine set-piece already creaking, the returning Ryan Baird stole a line-out and set Ireland on their way to a third as Hansen found Keenan again for the British and Irish Lions full-back&#8217;s second. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Already trailing 21-5, Argentina&#8217;s resolve was severely tested in the closing minutes of the half. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Having lost outside centre Piccardo to a yellow card, captain Montoya failed a head injury assessment (HIA), but when his replacement Leonel Oviedo was also went withdrawn for a HIA, loose-head prop Boris Wenger was forced to fill in at hooker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Ireland also lost Sheehan to a head knock after he was denied a second try.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"image\" class=\"ssrcss-l7emlr-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"image\" class=\"ssrcss-1uy5kw5-FullWidthWrapper ep2nwvo1\">\n<figure class=\"ssrcss-hc6arm-StyledFigure e34k3c22\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-ab5fd8-StyledFigureContainer e34k3c21\"><span class=\"ssrcss-or2wc9-Placeholder etlorgc0\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/240\/cpsprodpb\/6d69\/live\/5b673860-da31-11f1-ab60-69d917fc430c.jpg.webp 240w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/320\/cpsprodpb\/6d69\/live\/5b673860-da31-11f1-ab60-69d917fc430c.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/480\/cpsprodpb\/6d69\/live\/5b673860-da31-11f1-ab60-69d917fc430c.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/624\/cpsprodpb\/6d69\/live\/5b673860-da31-11f1-ab60-69d917fc430c.jpg.webp 624w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/800\/cpsprodpb\/6d69\/live\/5b673860-da31-11f1-ab60-69d917fc430c.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/ace\/standard\/976\/cpsprodpb\/6d69\/live\/5b673860-da31-11f1-ab60-69d917fc430c.jpg.webp 976w\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><\/span><span role=\"text\" class=\"ssrcss-tzgxt7-StyledFigureCopyright e34k3c20\"><span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">Image source, <\/span>Getty Images<\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"ssrcss-3uli8u-StyledFigureCaption ehbdhz00\"><span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">Image caption, <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-15twdc6-Stack e1y4nx260\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Andrew Porter and Ryan Baird both returned to Ireland action for the first time in 12 months<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"text\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"rich-text\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nqezkk-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Within two minutes of the restart, Prendergast &#8211; who shook off a wrist injury to start at fly-half &#8211; ghosted through a hole in the Argentina defence to score his first international try and secure the bonus point. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">While Carreras pounced for his second three minutes later following an enterprising run from Santiago Chocobares, Keenan completed his hat-trick following a clever offload from Baird. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">As fatigue set in for Argentina, Kelleher touched down following a maul with a try that further sucked the energy out of the game following Elias&#8217; yellow card for a high hit on Keenan. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">With the game beyond Argentina, both sides were guilty of messy passages as the game wore on, with Ireland replacement tight-head prop Sam Illo yellow carded on the hour for driving early at a maul. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">While a seventh try eluded the Irish, Farrell will likely be contented rather than thrilled by his side&#8217;s performance, with slick passages and fine finishing mixed with the odd careless moment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">However, while Argentina were a shadow of the adventurous attacking unit that pushed Ireland all the way in 2024 and beat Farrell&#8217;s British and Irish Lions in Dublin last year, a 30-point win is a solid platform from which the Irish can build as they switch focus to Fiji before another mouthwatering tussle with the Springboks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"subheadline\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-usmnse-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"subheadline\">\n<h2 id=\"Lineups\" tabindex=\"-1\" class=\"ssrcss-1sc9t00-Heading e10rt3ze0\"><span role=\"text\">Line-ups<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"text\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"rich-text\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nqezkk-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b>Ireland:<\/b> Hugo Keenan;
