British Lions v Argentina

JA

Really, entertaining game, attacking shape looked solid for Lions but the defense looked like what you expect for a scratch team.

sparky

The Lions first defeat in their first game since 1971 apparently.

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

Lots of passes going to ground and into opposition hands by both teams. Entertaining game, nonetheless.

Mr Fish

Interesting hearing the commentators say there are more important games to come... Disagree with that. While this was weirdly not deemed a Test match, it's a game against another international side - one they'd never previously lost to.

Awesome

So many w@nkers in this lions team and coaching staff

I hope the aussies smash them

It's really not going to encourage anyone outside Dublin to support them.

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?

8 of their squad are from South of the Equator.

They needed more poaches.

Beaten by a pure blood team tonight too.

Farage would have loved it.

They won that range war fair and square Bonesey.

More exocets than a Springbok ruck.

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 .
