The 2025 British & Irish Lions tour began with a surprising 24-28 defeat to Argentina in Dublin, their first tour-opening loss since 1971. This performance raised concerns about cohesion and attack. However, eight days later, a much-changed Lions team decisively beat Western Force 54-7 in Perth, showcasing fluid, clinical rugby. Coach Andy Farrell now faces the challenge of determining which performance reflects the team's true identity and how to approach Test selections against Joe Schmidt's Wallabies.
