Beirne said that Argentina "came out firing" in Dublin as they chased a first away win over Ireland, something that came as no surprise to the Irish pack. He added, "We weathered the storm and got into how we wanted to play the game," and noted, "What was pleasing about that was some of those tries were proper team tries and everyone was involved with them. That was the biggest takeaway from the game that." The second‑row forward also expressed frustration, saying, "We probably came away a little bit frustrated because we felt we didn't capitalise on a lot of the territory at the end of the game and the chances we had.
That shows how good a performance it was to come away feeling like that."
Coach Andy Farrell will now turn his attention to the upcoming test against Fiji in Dublin on 14 November, followed by a clash with world champions South Africa before the London finals weekend. He confirmed that Craig Casey was given a chance at scrum‑half while Jamison Gibson‑Park returned to full fitness, and praised Ulster back‑rower Nick Timoney and fly‑half Prendergast for their strong showings. When asked about squad selection, Farrell replied, "Definitely, 100%." He continued, "That's exactly what you are after going into next week.
Having some good competition, we've had it for 10 days in training so how they performed highlights how they have been training. Whatever side we pick next week, they'll be competing to play the following week."
