Lions tour 2025

[Molehill]

Will we one day see the Argies as world rugby and soccer champions? Beating the full strength of the 4 unions is an impressive effort that will be quite beyond the Wallabies.

Wasn’t full strength, quite a few were unavailable as only just joined up. Felt more like a Barbarians performance than Lions, too many attempts at the miracle pass instead of holding onto possession. Sure they’ll improve massively by Test time.

How in **** was that not a full strength side? Literally had the 4 captains of each home nation playing.

I'll give you cohesion etc as the first match together, but selling that as a not full strength team is a reach.

Yes they'll be better by the next test, but it was a one off game for the Argies as well who don't play together very often either. Give them some credit.

There's no shame in losing to Argentina. They are no 5 in the world (better than England, Scotland, and Australia).

Perhaps Argentina now have a case for a full Lions tour moving forward.
