The British and Irish Lions were defeated by Argentina in their warm-up match in Dublin ahead of their Australian tour. Despite a strong display from Argentina, the Lions fought back with tries from Aki and Beirne. However, Cordero's late try secured a victory for Argentina, marking their first win over the Lions. This loss was the Lions' first tour opener defeat since 1971, as they now prepare to face Western Force in Perth.
