(Reuters) - Ireland beat an inexperienced Argentina 29-17 on Saturday as the Six Nations champions began life without the talismanic Brian O'Driscoll by eventually easing to victory in Resistencia.

Ireland flyhalf Johnny Sexton carried on his rich vein of tryscoring form while Chris Henry and Andrew Trimble also crossed after the blistering Manuel Montero had given the hosts a brief lead and shown what their new generation has to offer.
