Ireland face Argentina at the Aviva Stadium on Friday night in the second game of the Autumn Nations Series.
Andy Farrell's side are out to redeem themselves after last week's disappointing loss to New Zealand. Ireland were underwhelming in the 23-13 loss to the All-Blacks, their first defeat in Dublin since 2021.
They have a chance to make amends against Argentina, however. Here is everything you need to know about the game, including kick-off time, TV details, and team news.
Ireland versus Argentina kicks off at 8:10 pm on Friday at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
The match will be broadcast live on Virgin Media One, with coverage starting at 7:30 pm. You can also stream it live on the Virgin Media Player.
In the UK, you can watch the game live on TNT Sports 1 and stream it on Discovery+.
Ireland have named their starting line-up on Wednesday.
Argentina have confirmed their team:
Juan Cruz Mallia; Rodrigo Isgro, Lucio Cinti, Matias Moroni, Bautista Delguy; Tomas Albornoz, Gonzalo Bertranou; Thomas Gallo, Julián Montoya, Joel Sclavi; Guido Petti, Pedro Rubiolo; Pablo Matera, Juan Martin Gonzalez, Joaquin Oviedo.
Replacements: Ignacio Ruiz, Ignacio Calles, Francisco Kodela Gomez, Franco Molina, Santiago Grondona, Gonzalo Garcia, Santiago Carreras, Justo Piccardo.
Tadhg Furlong could return from injury for the match, with Andy Farrell to confirm the team news on Wednesday afternoon. The Prop missed Ireland's loss to New Zealand.
Tom O'Toole will miss Friday's match, it has been confirmed, after a knock to the head against the All Blacks.
Ireland struggled against the All Blacks last week, with errors proving costly in a subdued 23-13 loss.
Argentina, in contrast, come into the fixture in great form after hammering Italy 50-18 in a match where they scored seven tries.
The Pumas also beat New Zealand 38-30 in Wellington earlier this year in the Rugby Championship.
Ireland last played Argentina in November 2021, when they recorded a 53-7 victory.
Meanwhile, Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi has strong ties to Irish rugby.
The former fly-half played for Leinster for six years between 2003 and 2009 and worked as the province's backs coach between 2018 and 2022.
