After losing their opening tour game for the first time since 1971, Friday night's 28-24 loss to Argentina leaves Andy Farrell's side with plenty of areas of improvement before they reach Australia.

Argentina beat a stuttering British and Irish Lions for the first time ever on Friday with a 28-24 warm-up game victory at the Aviva Stadium that left coach Andy Farrell with plenty to do as his squad get ready to leave for Australia.

It was 20 years ago that the Lions were held to a draw by Argentina in Cardiff, an underwhelming performance that foreshadowed the disastrous tour that awaited them in New Zealand.
