The Lions returned to Argentina in 1936 under the captaincy of Leicester scrum half Bernard Gadney. The star of the side, however, was wing Prince Alexander Obolensky who notched 12 tries in six matches across Buenos Aires and Rosario but is thought to have lost all the side's travelling balls while practicing his kicking on the journey across the Atlantic.
The Lions were comfortable 23-0 winners against Argentina. On their return they stopped in the port of Santos and played an unofficial match against a representative Brazil side. Rumour has it that Obolensky scored a record 17 tries in the match but no evidence has ever been produced to support the claim.
