Ireland dominated Argentina 42-12 in Dublin in the Nations Championship, with full-back Hugo Keenan scoring a hat-trick in a six-try performance. Dan Sheehan, Sam Prendergast and replacement Ronan Kelleher also scored for Ireland, who took control by the 55th minute after Argentina opened the scoring. Mateo Carreras scored both of Argentina’s tries, while yellow cards to Justo Piccardo and Efraín Elias compounded the visitors’ problems. Ireland next host Fiji, while Argentina travel to face Italy, on November 14.
