England hold off brave fightback from spirited Argentina to clinch 11th successive victory

England continued with their fine recent form when they clinched a hard-fought 27-23 triumph over Argentina in their Autumn Nations Series Test at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham this morning.

The Red Rose were full value for their win as they outscored Los Pumas three tries to two with Max Ojomoh, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Henry Slade crossing the whitewash for the hosts.

Their other points came via the boot of George Ford, who finished with a 12-point contribution courtesy of three conversions, a penalty and a drop goal.

For Los Pumas, Justo Piccardo and Rodrigo Isgro dotted down with Tomás Albornoz adding a couple of penalties and a conversion while Santiago Carreras also succeeded with a three-pointer off the kicking tee as well as a conversion.

Under guidance of head coach Steve Borthwick, the Red Rose have become a formidable force in the international arena in 2025, and this is their 11th successive victory with their last defeat registered against Ireland during the Six Nations in February.
