Ben O'Connor and Zac Ward star as Emerging Ireland recover from sloppy start to beat Pumas in opener
Briefly

Despite fielding a young squad, Ireland showed resilience in the second half, correcting early mistakes and demonstrating strong defensive capabilities that ultimately led to their victory.
Head coach Simon Easterby expressed frustration over the first half's unforced errors but highlighted the importance of the team's aggressive breakdown performance, which turned defense into offense.
Ireland's Sam Prendergast displayed remarkable composure under pressure, delivering critical kicks that shifted momentum, and his accurate scoring made a significant difference in Ireland's overall performance.
The late first-half exchanges saw both teams capitalize on opportunities, but Ireland's ability to regroup and maintain composure led them to secure a 36-24 victory over Argentina.
