Felipe Contepomi enjoyed some special days in the blue of Leinster during his six-year spell as a player before he spent four seasons with the province as backs coach, but leading Argentina to a famous win over the Lions at the Aviva Stadium is up there with his finest moments.
Contepomi’s fingerprints were all over his side’s stunning 28-24 victory, with their slick attack, especially their training ground set-piece moves, picking apart the Lions’ defence.
