Hello and welcome to the blog!

Ireland look to get their Nations Championship underway with a win against South American visitors Argentina.

These fixtures make up the last of the test matches ahead of next year's World Cup in Australia and Ireland will be itching for a win to get their campaign sailing smoothly.

Andy Farrell's men have never lost at home against the Pumas, and will be wanting to continue that streak. The Argentines have won only 3/11 of their last few games and will need a pep in their steps ahead of next September.

This fixture could be repeated in the World Cup Quarter-final with how the pools have worked out, providing both teams continue in the compeititon.

The match kicks off at 8.10pm here at the Aviva, follow along for more!
