Read our privacy policy Andy Farrell has backed “world-class” Robbie Henshaw to seamlessly slot back into Ireland’s team for Sunday’s autumn finale against Argentina in Dublin. “He’s looked great in training today, he’s going to add to the performance, I’m sure.” Ireland are seeking to finish 2021 in style by securing an eighth consecutive victory on the back of the statement 29-20 success over the All Blacks. I’m sure Craig has something to say about that as well and Caolin Blade; Luke McGrath has come back in as well, so we’ve got great competition all over Ireland in that position.” Meanwhile, Ulster wing Baloucoune has been given another opportunity to impress, preferred to Andrew Conway in the only unenforced change. “He’s a quiet type of chap and gets about his business in that type of way,” said Farrell.
