Ireland - Argentina | Hugo Keenan Hat-Trick! | Nations Championship 2026 Highlights

Video summary

Press to jump

1:00Argentina attacks wide, with a cross-field kick setting up Mateo Carreras in the corner.
2:05Ireland's set-piece reply brings Keenan into the action, followed by an attacking lineout.
4:54Prendergast breaks into open space for a long sprint towards the line.
6:27The hat-trick moment promised in the title arrives here.
8:24The final whistle and full-time result follow Ireland's last attacking passages.

Mateo Carreras gets Argentina on the scoreboard first, but Ireland's reply soon gives Virgin Media Sport's highlights their defining image: Hugo Keenan repeatedly finding a way through.

Keenan's hat-trick is the centrepiece of the channel's most-watched new upload, which has drawn about 57,000 views. Dan Sheehan and Rónan Kelleher add driving finishes, while Sam Prendergast races away for his first international try. The result is a comfortable Irish victory, though viewers also pick over the less convincing closing stages. One remembers attending with their granddad; another turns Keenan's first name into a neat fashion-brand pun.

Rugby fills the week's twelve-upload schedule. Andy Farrell's pre-match interview gives way to Nations Championship highlights from France-Fiji, Scotland-New Zealand, Italy-South Africa and Wales-Japan. Scotland's encounter comes billed as a ten-try classic, quite a companion piece to Ireland's afternoon.

The strongest daily momentum currently belongs to a conversation rather than a match reel. Ciarán Frawley's interview explores leaving Leinster for regular time at out-half with Connacht, learning under Stuart Lancaster and trying to establish himself alongside Prendergast and Jack Crowley in Ireland's selection conversation. France-Fiji and Ireland-Argentina remain close together behind it in daily viewing.

Across the channel, the week added roughly 235,000 views, while subscribers held steady. That is a more modest viewing week than nearby broadcaster Premier Sports enjoyed, but the distinctive attraction here is the combination of Ireland's tries and the players explaining what they want from the jersey.

Solid performance, clearly still a lot of work to do. Second half was a mess.

Joking aside good result

Great win for Ireland - however last 25 minutes underwhelming and wasteful esp with man advantage at times? An AllBlack or RSA side would not settle for parity in this section of the match
