The Lions are without the majority of Leinster, Bath and Leicester Tigers players, who only joined up with the squad on Monday after the United Rugby Championship and Premiership finals, with Leinster hooker Ronan Kelleher the only player involved as he is named on the bench.

(Reuters) -Argentina have named a much-changed line-up with a first start for centre Justo Piccardo in their one-off test against the British & Irish Lions in Dublin on Friday, and three potential debutants off the bench.

The British Lions will play their first ever game in Dublin as they take on Argentina at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Friday evening. The game will be the only one played in the Northern Hemisphere before the Lions fly to Australia for the main tour,
