1910 British Lions tour to Argentina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1910 British Lions tour to Argentina was a rugby tour of Argentina made by a side made up of 16 English players and 3 Scots. The organisers of the tour named the team the "English Rugby Union team",[1] but the host country advertised the touring team as the British Combined ("Combinado Británico" in Spanish).[2] The 1910 team has been termed as one of the three "lost lions" tours,[3] and is detailed on the British and Irish Lions official website. For Argentina, this tour marked the start of international rugby union and the test against the Combined British on 12 June 1910 was the first test in the Argentine national team's history.[4]
