    Awesome win for the Argies fantastic scalp for the South Americans
    That Cordero try started by Albornoz inside his own 22 was next level
    The local commentators were quite buoyant until the realisation that this game could be lost.
    However I’m reluctant to write the Lions off based on a first hit out of
    There were some brilliant running angles that opened up Los Puma but the last pass didn’t always find the right person in space
    Line out will need work .

      The Lions looked average as fuck. So much for Northern Rugby being so much superior to Southern Rugby. 😂

      Don't be an idiot. They were underdone and making crucial mistakes anytime they looked like scoring, just a cohesion thing. And who said that anyway?

              @Jet Yeah, I’ve just never ‘got’ the Lions. Could never cheer an English rugby player. That simple.

                Remember when Gatland had all his boys conveniently "holidaying" in Australia around the time of the 2013 tour.

                Cory Hill et al.

                  @Jet Wasn’t that 2017? And there was some weird justification for it from Gats but basically it was filling empty jerseys so the entire team could rest?

                      I wouldn’t read too much into this. Lions will be a different team once Finn Russell and Blair Kinghorn are in the starting line up.

                      They’ll still beat Australia 3-0

                        Yeah while it was still a good team they put out against Argentina, there's probably only a few guys in there that will start in the first Test - there might only be one survivor in the backline.

                                      That was a really fun watch.

                                      Excellent ball movement.

                                      The fact it was played in daylight in nice temperatures is not a coincidence.

                                      By Doleman standards he was pretty good - only he would miss that knock on though haha.

                                        I thought James Doleman was below his best. Seemed to miss a bit and always had an advantage back for Lions when they infringed.
                                        Are Fin Smith, Mitchell and Marcus Smith the front liners in backline?
                                        Thought VDM and Freeman were always a threat. LCD was good in forwards.
                                        But best thing in match was the flair in the Argentinian backs in my view.

                                          It was funny seeing wonderboy Pollock miss a crucial tackle and then spill the ball at the end.
