According to the Wales Online website, the squad are only due to travel to Buenos Aires on Sunday night, which left them plenty of time to have a night off and 'enjoy each other's company' in the words of Gatland.

Details remain, understandably, sketchy, but it seems the tradition of having a few beers on tour is still going strong.

"The boys are going to have a good night, Hadleigh Parkes’ stag do tonight," said Gatland in the post-Test press conference.

"I think we need enjoy each other's company so it’s a nice excuse to go and celebrate too."

When pressed for more details, Gatland remained tight-lipped, adding: "Hadleigh will probably get dressed up I suppose. We’ll see what happens later on."

The centre came off the bench around the half hour mark for Scarlets team-mate Steff Evans, who left the RFK Stadium on crutches after hyperextending his knee.

Wales are due to play Argentina in two Tests on June 9 and 16.
