Andy Farrell praises Ireland's first-half and the team's ability to see out the last quarter
Ireland hold on for 22-19 win over Argentina following epic finish
Andy Farrell says Ireland did well for a side playing their first two internationals of their season.
"In parts, if I can try and sum up where we are," said the Ireland coach. "If you look at it that we played two top sides in our first two games, we are still trying to find out feet.
"New Zealand and Argentina have been playing at the highest level for four or five months and we are starting our November Series.

"You could say we look lethargic but the quality of the opposition has been strong in these first two games.
"To cut a long story short, we held our nerve. There was some god stuff and some bad stuff."
Farrell praised out-half Jack Crowley who had a terrific first-half but also noted Sam Prendergast's last quarter debut, coming in at a point when Ireland could have caved.
"I thought Sam was excellent. He had a nice tempo at the line, showed character as well
Skipper Caelan Doris added: "It was pleasing that we came out the right side of the results.
"They took us on more around the fringes than we expected."
