Watch: Jacob Stockdale Finishes Off Magical 'Training-Pitch' Try Vs Argentina

Joe Schmidt would have been sat with a big cheesy grin on his face as Jacob Stockdale touched down for the first try of Ireland's Guinness International test against Argentina.

While the flying Ulster winner finished the move off, it came about thanks to a sublime back-line move that very much looked like it came straight off the training pitch as Munster's Chris Farrell linked up with Johnny Sexton to cut right through the Argentina defence.

Ireland were awarded a scrum on the half-way line and after a crash ball from Bundee Aki sucked in a few defenders in the first phase, Farrell's soft hands saw Sexton hit a gap and Ireland were in for the score in the blink of an eye.

Wait for the slow-mo of the pass that made the try happen...

Absolutely magical stuff.

We've got some ridiculously exciting young talent emerging at the moment, and to see the like of Stockdale and Farell, as well as James Ryan and Adam Byrne who enjoyed a promising first half, take to international rugby so well is immensely satisfying.

Stockdale's excellent form in an Ireland jersey continues, but that score was all about Chris Farrell's hands.
