The British and Irish Lions under Andy Farrell are set for an exciting few months in 2025, beginning with a clash against Argentina in the 1888 Cup at Aviva Stadium in Dublin
In a historic moment for the touring side, they will play their first-ever game as an invitational team in Ireland when they face Los Pumas. Since their first fixture in 1891, this will only be the Lions' third game on home soil, where they are yet to taste success - their current record stands at one loss and a draw.
The Lions meet Argentina in a head-to-head match for the first time in over two decades. Their last meeting ended in a 25-25 draw in Cardiff. They two sides have battled in seven occasions - Lions have won six, with one game ending in a draw.
The fixture serves as a warm-up ahead of the British & Irish Lions' 2025 tour of Australia, which begins next Saturday.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match and kickoff time.
