The Lions were handed a humbling defeat at the hands of Argentina in Dublin, with many of Farrell’s squad unavailable for selection.
A close encounter in Dublin was a sign of the individual talent in the side, but also a sign of a lack of cohesion between the players so far.
Players such as Finn Russell and James Lowe will be returning from Premiership and URC final duty for their first games of the tour.
