RUGBY UNION

ANDY Farrell demanded an improvement from his British and Irish Lions after they slipped to a 28-24 defeat by Argentina in Dublin.

The Lions lost their opening tour match for the first time since 1971 after their second-half fightback was overturned when Santiago Cordero finished the match-winning try in the 59th minute.

On Saturday they head Down Under before facing the Western Force a week later and Farrell is seeking an immediate response to the error-strewn dis play seen at a sold-out Aviva Stadium.
