British and Irish Lions: Five talking points after Andy Farrell’s side begin 2025 tour with Argentina defeat

There was no competition for the promise of the day at the Lions media briefing on Wednesday – “harmony” was clearly the focus.

Considering how chunk these things were in the recent past and that it thought it was a first hit for a whole new side, it was fair to assume that it would be a difficulty to click quickly.

Twice Lion Tadhg Beirne looked a little confused with such a concept, but reminded that we were talking about “world -class” players.

Together, for the first 80 minutes, the Lions attack felt that he had to be tried in two different directions – ambition and execution.

In terms of the first, their shape was strong and they created plenty of opportunities with sharp passages.

But when it came to the second, it was missing. The emptying to the ground or directly to Argentine hands was a serious issue like a rhythm that threw the runner.

Although the bones of a encouraging screen with the ball in hand, Farrell will demand that his side be sharper after hitting the Australian coast.

“The whole story of the game is that we combine too much mistakes and that we can’t speed up the game we want.” He said.
