The British and Irish Lions suffered a setback ahead of their Australian tour, losing 24-28 to Argentina in a thrilling match in Dublin.
Playing under new head coach Andy Farrell for the first time, the Lions were undone by fast-paced breakaway tries from Ignacio Mendy, Tomas Albornoz, and Santiago Cordero.
Despite second-half efforts from Bundee Aki, a penalty try, and Tadhg Beirne, the Lions couldn’t overturn Argentina’s lead.
The defeat marks the Lions’ first tour opener loss since 1971, casting a shadow over their preparations before heading to Australia.
