Ireland still finding their feet after Argentina win

Andy Farrell blasted Ireland's "desperate" discipline after they had to hang on for victory over Argentina on Nov 15, but the coach was full of praise for fly-half Sam Prendergast's much anticipated debut off the bench.

Farrell, who had judged some of his players were lucky to keep their places after their underwhelming display against New Zealand on Nov 8, said he got "in parts" the kind of reaction he wanted in the 22-19 win.

"I think there was a bit of extra pressure on some of us based on our performances last week," Ireland captain Caelan Doris said, referring to the error-filled 23-13 loss to the All Blacks.

Conceding 13 penalties for the second successive game was worrying.

"Our discipline at times was desperate," Farrell said after Ireland had surrendered a comfortable 22-9 half-time lead.
