Description
Pre-match press conference with stand-in Ireland captain Dan Sheehan ahead of Friday night’s Nations Championship match against Argentina.
Sheehan addresses talk of a decline in Irish rugby and discusses where Ireland need to improve before next year’s Rugby World Cup.
He reflects on leading Ireland at home for the first time and considers whether his recent spell in the Leinster back row could give Ireland another option.
He also discusses Robert Baloucoune’s confidence after injury, Mack Hansen’s return and the threat Argentina pose at the set piece and in transition.
