Man of the match Hugo Keenan speaking after Ireland's win over Argentina:

"You miss it, it's been 21 months since I've been here [Lansdowne Road] in green. Its been tough watching on [from the sidelines]. Like the rest of the lads, we're just delighted to be here and wanted to make this crowd proud. 

"I was at the end of a few good [attacking] plays to be honest, three walk-ins [tries] so I'll anything. We got a bonus point against a really tough Argentinean side. To beat them by 30 points and probably not play to our full potential is exciting because there's a lot to work on and get better. 

"There's a lot of lads returning from injury, Ryan Baird, Mack Hansen were out for long periods, Andrew Porter [too]. We're just trying to do ourselves proud and get the crowd behind us. We really enjoyed it [tonight]."
