England vs Argentina

Kickoff: 4:10pm, Sunday 21st November

Venue: The Allianz Stadium, Twickenham

Watch on: TNT Sports 1

England and Argentina will bring their Autumn nations series campaigns to a close in Twickenham on Sunday. Both sides have a 100% record. England beat Australia, Fiji and New Zealand whilst Argentina have beaten Wales and Scotland. England's 2-0 Summer series win in Argentina looms large and Argentina will be eager to enact some revenge. This Argentina side is stronger than the one that lost in the summer, but England are not much stronger in spite of the return of some British and Irish Lions.

Steve Borthwick has been forced into some changes due to injuries but has also made some of his own volition. Ellis Genge and Luke Cowan-Dickie move up to the starting front row and are joined by Asher Opoku-Fordjour for his first start of the Autumn. Itoje and Coles continue in the second row in the absence of Ollie Chessum with the now-fit Charlie Ewels on the bench. Steve Borthwick has persisted with his back row unit, both starting and on the bench, which is no surprise given its success so far in this series. It's a unit that will need to be at its best against Argentina. George Ford keeps control of the 10 jersey but is now joined by Ben Spencer at half back. There are 3 more changes in the back line. Elliot Daly is highly valued by Steve Borthwick and returns to the XV despite not playing a game since suffering an injury on the Lions Tour. The centres are both changed with Henry Slade back at 13 and Max Ojomoh in as a late change for Fraser Dingwall. 

Argentina will bring plenty of threats of their own. Their back row, in particular, is a special group, It's a powerful group that looks to dominate contact and essentially provides the team with 3 more centres. In addition to that, they can then bring Pablo Matera off the bench in a move that will rival England's "Pom Squad". Simon Benitez Cruz is one to watch at scrum-half; the Newcastle Red Bull is already making an impact in the Gallagher Prem and is bringing that to his national team. Prem fans will also be familiar with the threat posed by Rodrigo Isgro and his battle with Daly will be one to watch in this game.
