Maro Itoje to captain Lions for first time against Argentina

Maro Itoje will captain the British and Irish Lions for the first time in their non-cap international against Argentina in Dublin on Friday.

Itoje leads a starting XV that features Marcus Smith at full-back and will be directed by England half-backs Alex Mitchell and Fin Smith.

Tadhg Furlong will be given the opportunity to prove his fitness after struggling with a calf injury that ruled him out of Leinster’s United Rugby Championship final victory over the Bulls.
