Captain Johnny Sexton twisted a knee and ankle against NZ at the weekend which will rule him out of action for between 4-6 weeks. The Ireland captain will remain with the squad this week as the team prepares for the game against Argentina.

Connacht’s Jack Carty has joined the Ireland squad for the final week of the Autumn Nations Series.

Gavin Coombes returns to the squad having missed last week through illness.

Ireland’s final game of the Autumn Nations Series is against Mario Ledesma’s Argentina. Los Pumas were last in Dublin in 2018 when Ireland emerged the victors 28-17.

Another great crowd is expected at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday with over 45,000 tickets sold to date.
