Andy Farrell’s men are looking to bounce back from defeat to the All Blacks. Here’s how to tune in
Andy Farrell’s side hadn’t lost at the Aviva Stadium since 2021, so last Friday’s defeat to the All Blacks came as a shock to the system. They’ll be out to make amends this week and this guide explains how you can watch Ireland v Argentina live streams wherever you are in the world – including details of how Irish fans can tune in for free.
Kick-off: 8.10pm GMT, Friday 15 November
Watch for FREE in Ireland: Virgin Media Play
Watch in the UK: TNT Sports
Watch in the US: Peacock
Ireland’s unbeaten home run may be over but they’re still third in the world rankings and arguably the strongest team in the northern hemisphere. Farrell has mostly kept faith with the XV that started against New Zealand, with just one change – Robbie Henshaw replaces Bundee Aki in the centres. Friday’s opponents, the Pumas, are flying high right now after a Rugby Championship campaign in which they beat New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Having won comfortably in Italy last weekend, they’ll be challenging opposition as the Irish look to get back to winning ways.
It’s sure to be a thrilling encounter, so you’ll want to know how to watch Ireland v Argentina live streams wherever you are on Friday.
