British and Irish Lions: The lessons to be learned while Argentina condemns Andy Farrell to defeat in the opening match of the round | Rugby Union News

British and Irish lions will go to their tour in Australia on the back of defeat, but what will they learn from losing to Argentina and can they help them win a series of victory?

The Andy Farrell team was beaten from 28-24 by Argentina in front of the Aviva Al-Muba’a stadium, as it canceled a deficit of 11 points early in the second half before being shortened to Pomas.

The penalty shootout and the result of Tadhg Beirne after the break was a way to the victory of the Black, but the anti -Argentina attacks swept Santiago Cordero in the attempt to match the match in the 59th minute.

The hosts were unable to destroy their stubborn opponents at the closing stages, as they won a famous victory – their first attempts in eight attempts to lions – and the vision of lions lost the opening match of the rounds for the first time since 1971.

What did the lions do well? Where can they improve before facing Australia? Sky Sports Pundits Owen Farrell, Sam Warburton, John Barclay and Will Greenwood dismantled some of the main talk points of an exciting test match …

“A lot of hell to learn for black”

Former Lyons, Forel, was not excessively interested in defeat, stressing how important it is to get a competitive game under their belts soon in the tour.

“A lot of the game has been played in the right parts of the field,” Farrell Sky Sports said. “It is clear that many balls have not stuck and there will be many pictures that they will look at and learn from.

“Argentina did incredibly to combat the incision when they had the opportunity, whether it was a ball on the ground or rotation, it seemed to turn things into points quickly.

“I am sure that the black boys will get frustrated, but the main thing is that they played a wonderful competitive game and have some pictures to go to know what the standard is and what is otherwise.

“They will learn a lot of hell, and they will learn hell about each other, and they will learn a lot of hell as one team, and will put them in a good position next week.”

Warurton, who was distinguished by the two series Captain Lyons, was opened with matches against the barbarians in 2013, and the barbarians were in the New Zealand province in 2017, determined that Stern Argentina’s mission would have advantages below the line.

“This game is much better – do not respect games in the past – who played an invitation team as it wins 50 points,” he said.

“Lions will learn a lot of this game. Yes, disappointing, because they wanted to get the momentum early, but what a test. You can dissect this now, learn from it, and move forward.”

Argentina … the most difficult warm -up match ever?

Los Pumas is more than to rise to the level of bills as the fifth best team in the world, as it showed an exciting attacked taste because they gave the lions a comprehensive assessment.

“In the past 12 months, unlike Ireland, they all defeated them and this is the caliber of this Argentine team,” said Lyon Greenwood three times. “Their back row was great and that they all – for the man – were great.”

“Lions will be better than that (loss), but we have to congratulate Argentina first. It was very good,” Warurton added.

“Their defense group was at the end of the game – under extreme fatigue – excellent. They lost seven or eight players on the front lines and are still gorgeous.”

Where do the lions need to improve?

Lions showed a lot of attacking intention, but on occasions they were convicted of excessive play, with a loss of possession on multiple occasions of the exit line and another area will be needed to improve.

“Get out of the lines is repaired,” said Barclay, former Captain in Scotland. “I think it’s one of the most difficult parts of the game to collect. Everyone is moving a little differently and performs a small tight function to not getting the ball. This is where the frustration comes in the exit line – you can’t play pressure through it.

“I think cohesion by forcing the loads outside, and as Andy Farrell mentioned, some of them were not just.

“You want to be a team that understands when the ball is continuing and when it is turned off. I think that will come and the exit line will come and there are many good parts, but I think the rugby test is about pressure.

“If your line is not working and beaten in the air game, you are forcing unloading and dropping the ball, it is extremely difficult to continue to apply this pressure.”

How will black respond? “We have to learn quickly.”

The Lions will go to Australia before their warm -up against Western Force next Saturday, where he lives in Sky Sports, with the Bundee Aki Center – which recorded the opening attempt against Argentina – admitting that they were not a clinical degree sufficiently during his defeat.

“We do not make any excuses; Argentina is good blood clothes,” Aki Sky Sports said. “We were afraid when we were not clinical. Every rotation rate we made, recorded at every opportunity.

“We wore again in the second half, Andy Farrell reminded us at the end of the first half when we were supposed to be a lion – when it is difficult, you have to push him to another level. In certain parts of the game we did, in others we did not.

“This explains what we are as a group, we can only improve from here. We know the challenge before us, none of the nine games will be easy, so we have to get out of this learning from this but we have to learn quickly.”
