Keenan hat-trick as six-try Ireland beat Pumas
Ireland secured a dominant 42-12 victory over Argentina in their Nations Championship opener, highlighted by a hat-trick from Hugo Keenan. Dan Sheehan, Sam Prendergast, and Ronan Kelleher also contributed tries, while Prendergast added five conversions and Ciaran Frawley added one.
Mateo Carreras scored both tries for the visitors, with Tomas Albornoz kicking a conversion. Argentina struggled with discipline, seeing Justo Piccardo and Ephraim Elias sin-binned, while captain Julian Montoya exited early due to a failed head injury assessment.
Ireland now looks ahead to upcoming fixtures against Fiji and South Africa.
