England Secure 2-0 Rugby Series Win Over Argentina With Last-Minute Try

News summary

England secured a 22-17 victory over Argentina in the final match of their rugby Test series, with replacement scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet scoring a decisive try in the last minute to clinch the series 2-0. The match was marked by the late withdrawal of England's co-captain Jamie George due to a British & Irish Lions call-up, which disrupted England's lineout but did not prevent their dominance in possession and territory. Despite multiple visits to Argentina's 22-meter line, England struggled to convert opportunities into tries until Van Poortvliet's breakthrough, supported by a strong counterattack from Guy Pepper. Fly-half George Ford, who managed the game expertly, praised the team's resilience, fight, and togetherness, though he noted they could have scored more tries. Argentina, led by captain Julian Montoya and record-capped player Pablo Matera, fought hard but were hampered by penalties and yellow cards that undermined their defensive efforts. England's win continued their unbeaten streak under coach Steve Borthwick and maintained their perfect record in Argentine series since 1981.
