Maro Itoje, who's yet to experience a Lions series victory, captains the side on his third tour, with Julian Montoya his opposite number. Though Argentina are without Juan Cruz Mallia, Guido Petti and Thomas Gallo, they're an established group that will identify any weaknesses in the Lions setup and exploit them ruthlessly.
The Lions vs Argentina is a once-in-a-generation game, if that. Pumas coach Felipe Contepomi was on the field the last time they met, 20 years ago, and played his part in a 25-25 thriller. Their previous encounter? Way back in 1936. And what makes tonight's meeting extra special is that it's the first ever Lions game to be staged in Ireland.
With Andy Farrell in charge and 16 members of the 38-man squad comprising Irish players, the sendoff afforded by Dublin will be spectacular. And nobody of an Irish persuasion will be in any doubt as to Argentina's quality. Contepomi's men came within a whisker of silencing the Aviva Stadium in November.
Here's how to watch Lions vs Argentina live streams from anywhere in the world, and potentially for free.
