  1. Argentina 17-14 England

    The Pumas are defending like, er, beavers here and England come up against a striped wall time and again. George Ford puts in another lovely kick but Tom Willis is wrapped up. Still they come...

    Lee Blackett is a brilliant attack coach and England would do well to have him as part of the coaching set up on a permanent basis

    Have we just witnessed the 40 minutes that cost Theo Dan any semblance of an international rugby career? If only there was a position in rugby that didn’t require any need to handle the ball, sadly I don’t think hooker is that position.

    Langdon should have far more caps than he does. Get him in for Dan asap

  3. Argentina 17-14 England

    England get it back and wheel left, they have a man over and whip it wide but Tom Roebuck loses the ball in a crunching tackle. Argentina want this!

  4. Argentina 17-14 England

    England have the ball down to within five metres. Big pressure - but Sam Underhill loses the ball and Argentina can clear!

  5. Argentina 17-14 England

    Argentina prop Francisco Gomez Kodela gives away a second penalty in two minutes and is immediately replaced. We've seen enough.

  6. Argentina 17-14 England

    Argentina are offside in the first 30 seconds and George Ford boots it into a good area.

  8. A reminder that this team is missing a LOT of first-team players but...

    Really impressive first half for England. The team looks really well coached. Although, how, of all things, does a Steve Borthwick team have such a poor lineout?

    England need an international class full back. Getting in great positions but not quite making the correct decision. Roebuck impressive.

    Michael, Burton on Trent.

    Theo Dan is having a shocker. So many mis-thrown line outs, knock-ons in the carry. If he's not hauled off at half time he's a lucky boy. Missing Jamie George big time so far.

    Matt, Guildford

    Argentina are a great side to watch. Exciting style of rugby. But, I wish they wouldn’t hassle and question the ref like a soccer game.

  13. Well wasn't that a bit of fun? Both sides keen to get on and play quickly, not many reset scrums, no big kicking battles...

    Great patterns of rugby tend to happen when you have a Fly Half who cares more about creating opportunities than taking them.

    3 English fly halves on the lions tour. The best is in Argentina.

    Cracking game!

    Converted try - Argentina 17-14 England

    Ignacio Mendy (con Carreras)

    There is time!

    Freddie Steward has just scored but he's made a bit of a mess of this. A brlliant kick is put inbehind, it takes a tricky bounce and actually hits the outside of the goalpost as Steward waits to collect, the bounce does him and wing Ignacio Mendy arrives at warp speed to touch it down.

    Santiago Carreras kicks the extras.

  17. Argentina 10-14 England

    Argentina get off those metaphorical ropes to put a tremendous kick into England territory. One last lineout before the whistle.

  18. Argentina 10-14 England

    England have really impressed since going back to 15 men. They've got Argentina on the ropes here.

    Last week England received a yellow card for persistent penalties. In that phase of play alone, Argentina conceded three. Doesn't matter if it leads to a try, the ref should have a word.

    Steve, Powys.

  20. Argentina 10-14 England

    England are incessant - they almost has another as Freddie Steward runs down the right this time and kicks in behind for Tom Roebuck to chase - but the bounce beats him this time.
