Ireland silenced their critics with an impressive 46-24 victory over Argentina at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday.
Ireland led from start to finish in a dominant display, outscoring their visitors seven tries to two.
Few would have expected such a one-sided clash after Argentina's recent win over Wales but the home side produced their best performance since pushing the All Blacks close in June to run the Pumas ragged.
The result ends Ireland's five-Test losing streak and secures their place among the second seeds for the 2015 World Cup draw.

Man of the match: A few candidates here and Jonathan Sexton deserves a mention for his two tries and getting the Irish backline going. But Ireland really won the game up front andDonnacha Ryan stood out, not only in the line-outs but for his tireless work cleaning out at the breakdown.
Moment of the match: The writing was on the wall early for the Pumas. Craig Gilroy's try was a great start to both the game and a promising Test career.
