The British and Irish Lions were created by three former cricketers - Alfred Shaw, Arthur Shrewsbury and James Lillywhite. The team first toured in 1888, though the name 'Lions' did not originate until 1924 and was not adopted formally until 1950.

Steve Borthwick and George Ford are relishing the opportunity to take on Argentina early next month after their win over the Lions.

The British and Irish Lions's clash with Argentina in Dublin on Friday may not be classed as an official Test, but that won't matter to Andy Farrell and his side.
