Ireland crush Argentina with Keenan hat trick in Nations Championship rugby
DUBLIN (AP) --- Ireland maintained its undefeated record at home against
Argentina in an impressive 42-12 victory in Nations Championship rugby on
Friday.
The Irish conceded the first try then gradually buried the Pumas with clinical
finishing in the 22 that netted a bonus-point six converted tries, including
Hugo Keenan's first international hat trick.
The Pumas' strongest lineup all year had high hopes of a first win in Dublin
over Ireland in 12 attempts but they struggled in the lineouts --- lost five
throw-ins --- and holding their discipline under pressure: Two yellow cards and
14 penalties.
Argentina's record fell to one win in seven tests this year. The Pumas go to
Italy next. Ireland welcome Fiji.
