Australian fullback Tom Wright is unworried by the British & Irish Lions' defeat in their tour opener against Argentina. The Lions, now in Perth, are gearing up for their match against Western Force next weekend, following a close 28-24 loss to Argentina in Dublin.
Wright, speaking in Sydney, described the game as 'thrilling' and emphasized the inexperience of the Lions squad, given it's their first time playing together. He commended the Argentinians' performance, noting that both sides played with enthusiasm and skill.
Despite being left out of the World Cup mix, Wright remains confident. He anticipates strategic high balls from the Lions and views them as opportunities for counterattacks. With eyes on the upcoming game in Newcastle, Wright stresses its importance in preparing for the formidable Lions in July.
