History certainly favours England, who have won 19 and lost four of their previous meetings with Argentina. England have won four of their past five meetings with the Pumas, who last claimed victory in November 2022. Their last meeting was in the Bronze medal match at the 2023 World Cup, when England edged to a 26-23 victory.

England won both subsequent matches at the World Cup in 2023 and last toured Argentina in 2017, winning two Tests in San Juan and Santa Fe. The two sides are scheduled to meet again in the autumn. Argentina XV: Elizalde; Isgro, Cinti, Piccardo, Cordero; Carreras, Bertranou; Vivas, Montoya (c), Delgado; Paulos, Rubiolo; Matera, Gonzalez, Isa
