Ireland 34-7 Argentina, 63 minutes

Nicolas Sanchez is on the pitch for Argentina and trying to guide the attack from fly-half, threading a grubber through to Joey Carbery, who has shifted to full-back since the introduction of Byrne.

Carbery collects and dances free of two tacklers, continuing an impressive afternoon. Ireland eventually kick away and after a further booted exchange, Robert Baloucoune is taken high!

Ireland 34-7 Argentina, 60 minutes

Ireland will play the last quarter of the game against an Argentina defence shorn of a man. Harry Byrne makes an initially lively burst as the home side try to re-ignite a crowd that has maybe fallen flat a touch, but his next touch is less accurate, tossing a pass forward to a carrier on his shoulder close to the line. Argentina scrum.

RED CARD! Tomas Lavanini is sent off! Ireland 34-7 Argentina, 59 minutes

Entirely unnecessary, tucked arm, no attempt to wrap, significant force, direct head contact - it’s about as clear a red card as you will see. That is horrible from Tomas Lavanini, and thankfully Cian Healy appears to be ok. The prop accepts the apology of Lavaninni but this ill-disciplined Puma refuses to change his spots.

Ireland 34-7 Argentina, 59 minutes

Peter O’Mahony is incensed as Tomas Lavanini makes rather improper contact with a kneeling Irish player out of the way at a ruck - Matt Carley will refer this for a check with the TMO but not before warning O’Mahony about his tone in alerting him.

Blimey - this is awful from Lavanini, who is very much that sort of player...

Ireland 34-7 Argentina, 58 minutes

Pablo Matera is back on at the end of his yellow card period, and he’s joined in the Argentina back row by Facundo Isa, who has replaced Marcos Kremer.

Ireland swap props: enter Cian Healy and Tom O’Toole as Andrew Porter and Tadhg Furlong have a much deserved sit-down.

TRY! IRELAND 34-7 Argentina (Josh van der Flier try, 57 minutes)

Yes! Just the one replay required to show the evidence of van der Flier getting the ball to earth having trampled over one defender and survived the last-ditch attempts off two more. Joey Carbery converts.

Ireland 27-7 Argentina, 57 minutes

The maul is just about stalled, two metres out. Craig Casey zips the ball away, Robbie Henshaw carrying hard, then James Lowe off his wing, too.

Josh van der Flier! A powerful short line and is the flanker over?

Ireland 27-7 Argentina, 55 minutes

Argentina collapse the resulting maul and Harry Byrne prods the penalty further along the left touchline to allow the forwards to have another rumble for a score.

Ireland 27-7 Argentina, 54 minutes

Julian Montoya is rather unfortunate, it appears, to be penalised as he apparently executes a textbook jackal. Matt Carley believes his elbows are on the floor and thus Montoya is not legally supporting his body weight. Ireland penalty and another lineout inside the Ireland 22.
