50 m. ago Expect Farrell’s frustrations to vanish: the Lions will prioritise hunger and energy | Ugo Monye

The tour starts when boots are on the ground in Australia and a line can be drawn under last week’s defeat against Argentina The British & Irish Lions’ defeat by Argentina will have been shaken out of their system even before the jet lag.
