Coach Andy Farrell faces some big decisions over whether to stick or twist following his all-star team's thrilling defeat to Argentina in Dublin on Friday night.

The Lions wrestled back to a 28-24 loss against the Pumas, who were strong opening opposition for the fresh crop of players to wrestle with.

That said, Farrell bemoaned errors and will expect an improvement in the first match Down Under against Super Rugby side Western Force, who finished ninth in their domestic table this term.
