Coach warns of Irish ‘intensity’

– Argentina will be playing three Tests in Europe in November but the resurgent Pumas, coming off their best ever Rugby Championship campaign, are focused solely on their opener against Ireland.

Coach Mario Ledesma, who guided Argentina to two wins in the Championship, is expecting “intensity, intensity, intensity,” from Joe Schmidt’s side in Dublin on November 10.

“They are a team that can compete mano a mano,” he said of the No 2-ranked Irish. – Reuters
