The British & Irish Lions faced a challenging start to their tour with a defeat against Argentina, revealing handling errors and decision-making issues. Coach Andy Farrell is expected to emphasize improvements in hunger, desire, and energy. The Lions' performance reflected the pressure of a first match, causing players to want to impress. Despite frustrations, better accuracy and strategic decisions are crucial as they move forward into subsequent matches against tougher opponents, such as the Wallabies.
The first match is always difficult... that it can be hard not to force things, not to get carried away with a determination to impress.
Clearly there was a desire to move the ball and keep it alive... but some of the decision-making let the Lions down.
