Leinster’s URC title-winning British and Irish Lions contingent has put their weekend’s celebrations to bed and joined up with Andy Farrell’s touring party at their Dublin base ahead of Friday’s first game against Argentina in the Aviva Stadium.

All told, there are a dozen boys in blue switching to red. That includes Tadhg Furlong who hasn’t played since early May due to a calf strain. There had been fears that the prop might miss the trip to Australia altogether.
