# Rugby: The British and Irish Lions will set off for Australia today on the back of a 28-24 defeat by Argentina in their warm-up test in Dublin on Friday. New head coach Andy Farrell was not overly concerned by the defeat, stressing how valuable it was for his team to get a competitive game under their belts so soon into the tour. It was the Pumas’ first victory in eight attempts over the Lions, with the Lions losing their tour opener for the first time since 1971. The Lions face Western Force in Perth next weekend.
