Former Munster and Ireland hooker Frankie Sheahan spoke to Newstalk this morning, giving his diagnosis of Ireland"s ills in the wake of the 16-12 defeat to South Africa at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday evening.
Sheahan felt the Irish side missed the experience and leadership of players such as O"Driscoll and O"Connell and expressed his worry over the upcoming Argentina game.

Argentina defeated Wales by 14 points in Cardiff on Saturday and with crucial world ranking spots at stake, and with them a seeding for the world cup group stage draw, Sheahan is wary of the damage the Argentines could do.
