Ireland’s Autumn Internationals campaign got off to a disappointing start last weekend when the side suffered a comprehensive defeat to the All Blacks – their first home loss since 2021.

Even so, head coach Andy Farrell has named a largely unchanged side to face Argentina at the Aviva Stadium on Friday night, with the only change to the starting XV being Robbie Henshaw coming in for Bundee Aki at inside centre

There are more changes on the replacements bench, where prop Thomas Clarkson and fly-half Sam Prendergast are in line to win their first caps. Meanwhile, if and when Cian Healy comes on to the field, he’ll tie with Brian O’Driscoll as Ireland’s most capped player. Caelan Doris is captain once again.

“There has been a sharp focus in training this week and the squad are determined to get back to winning ways in front of a vocal home crowd,” said Farrell. “Friday will be a special night at Aviva Stadium for more reasons than one.

“For Tom and Sam, their promotion to the matchday squad for the first time is testament to their form, talent and application over the last number of weeks. For Cian [Healy], on the other end of the career spectrum, it will be an incredible moment for him, his family and friends to reach Brian O’Driscoll’s 133-cap landmark.”

Ireland v Argentina kicks off at 8.10pm GMT on Friday 15 November.
