British and Irish Lions vs Argentina LIVE!
A busy Lions summer starts tonight as Andy Farrell’s side face Argentina for the 1888 Cup in Dublin, their tour curtain-raiser before travelling to Australia for nine further matches including three all-important Tests against the Wallabies. Opportunities abound this evening at the Aviva Stadium, where the hosts are missing all but one of their domestic finalists from last weekend.
Argentina are without several key players due to Top 14 commitments and go into the game as clear underdogs, but some will say they could still pose the stiffest challenge for the Lions before the Test series next month. Farrell will be eager to avoid both a repeat of the Pumas’ last game against the Lions, a shock 25-all draw in Cardiff in 2005, and the last warm-up game at home against Japan four years ago, when captain Alun Wyn Jones was lost to the tour through injury.
Maro Itoje skippers a Lions team featuring a total of nine Englishmen in the starting XV, while plenty of attention will be focused on a formidable centre partnership of Bundee Aki and Sione Tuipulotu. Follow the Lions vs Argentina live below!
