There’s just one change to the starting XV but four among the replacements.

ANDY FARRELL USED the word “lucky” three times in his press conference at Bective rugby club this evening.

But otherwise, Farrell was relieved not to have an injury toll. Indeed, he had a fully-fit squad to choose from for Friday’s clash against Argentina aside from O’Toole and fellow tighthead Tadhg Furlong. And the third use of the word “lucky” was in relation to how Farrell has made just one change to his starting XV to face the Pumas in Dublin.

Henshaw is the man to come into the starting XV this week, with Osborne remaining on the bench. Aki did make some errors against New Zealand but he certainly wasn’t the only one to do so. He had some excellent moments too so this doesn’t feel like a big statement decision by Farrell. Farrell largely backed the same team to deliver a better showing, fired them up in brutally honest review sessions, and then watched as they claimed Ireland’s second-ever win over the Boks on South African soil in dramatic fashion.“There were too many people not at their best last week and we’re hoping for everyone to improve,” said Farrell.

“I think some of them came on a little bit too desperate, there were one or two errors or penalties or whatever, but that wasn’t just the bench – that was throughout the game with the team as a whole anyway,” said Farrell last Friday.
