Ireland ratings: Ringrose and McCarthy best against Pumas

Ireland got back to winning ways with a hard-fought 22-19 victory over Los Pumas.

They scored all of their points in the opening 32 minutes and had to hold on for dear life at the end. Three or four games in one, was how Andy Farrell described it.

Here's how we rated the players.

15. Hugo Keenan – 7

Took a great catch from a Crowley restart in the first half and was unlucky not to break through midfield on a number of occasions. Nothing spectacular in a strange old game.

14. Mack Hansen – 7

The winger was lively and hungry for involvement all evening; he took a perfect line to finish off Ireland's second try. Contested for the high ball well and was disciplined in the air. Almost got away a couple of times.

13. Garry Ringrose – 7.5

Came up with a couple of turnovers when Ireland were under pressure and his overall defence was excellent. Made a superb break from the line put Argentina on the back foot before Jack Crowley’s opening try.

12. Robbie Henshaw – 7

Carried hard in the first half and was a handful for the Argentina defence. Gave away an early penalty for Argentina’s first score. Was central to Joe McCarthy’s try popping inside for James Lowe to make ground.

11. James Lowe – 6.5

Saw an awful lot of ball and was heavily involved in defence as well. Made a great play to turn over possession from a restart. Gave away a silly penalty on a kick-chase and wasn’t as accurate with the boot as usual. Almost made the line just before the third try.

10. Jack Crowley – 7.5

If the game had finished at half-time, the Munster out-half would be looking at an 8.5 but he mixed some super play with some disappointing involvements. Took his try brilliantly soon after taking a high shot, while his dropgoal was superbly executed.
