Mack Hansen says Ireland will ignore 'outside noise' in the build-up facing Argentina after their defeat to the All Blacks
Ireland winger Mack Hansen says the squad will ignore "outside noise" in the build-up to their Test against Argentina in Dublin on Friday.
While questions have been asked of a team that have been beaten in three of their past five matches, Hansen pointed to how Andy Farrell's side responded to their last setback. "People are always very eager to jump on you when you’re down. It’s like in South Africa, nobody gave them a hope after the first Test," said Hansen, who missed that series through injury.
"People can chat away. The people who know us know, unfortunately, it was one of those weeks , but we’re ready to bounce back.”
