Players given second chance after NZ loss - Doris

Ireland captain Caelan Doris admits the team has been given a "second chance" by head coach Andy Farrell after a flat performance in last week's defeat by New Zealand.

Farrell has made just one change for the Argentina game on Friday with Robbie Henshaw replacing Bundee Aki and the coach admitted some players are "lucky enough" to have been retained in the line-up.

Doris, who expressed dissatisfaction with his own performance last week, said he wants Ireland to show more "edge, physicality and intent" against the Pumas, who have never won on Irish soil.

"There's competition, there's a lot of people who want to wear the jerseys so there's a bit of pressure to perform there, but excitement and opportunity too," said Doris, 26.

"That's the underlying thing."

The Leinster back row, appointed captain before the Autumn Nations Series, added: "I think the way it's framed from Faz [Farrell] and the coaches in quite a positive way.

"There's expectation coming from ourselves and the group and coming from what we see in training and the plan we have. It feels like positive pressure to a lot of guys, to myself."
