By Padraic Halpin DUBLIN (Reuters) -Argentina beat a stuttering British and Irish Lions for the first time ever on Friday with a 28-24 warm-up game victory at the Aviva Stadium that left coach Andy Farrell with plenty to do as his squad get ready to leave for Australia.

DUBLIN (AP) — First, the good news for the British and Irish Lions: They didn’t appear to suffer any tour-ending injuries against Argentina on Friday. The bad news: They lost to Argentina 28-24 in the warmup to their nine-game tour of Australia.

It was 20 years ago that the Lions were held to a draw by Argentina in Cardiff, an underwhelming performance that foreshadowed the disastrous tour that awaited them in New Zealand.
