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

England secured a 2-0 series victory over Argentina with a dramatic 22-17 win in the second Test in San Juan, highlighted by a last-minute try from replacement scrumhalf Jack van Poortvliet. Despite Argentina leading 17-14 at halftime, England applied sustained pressure in the second half, with key tries from Seb Atkinson and Freddie Steward helping to keep them competitive. The decisive try came after Guy Pepper broke through Argentina's defense, setting up Van Poortvliet's score in the corner, although George Ford missed the conversion. England, missing several players due to the British and Irish Lions tour and an injury to co-captain Jamie George just before kickoff, demonstrated resilience and teamwork to maintain their unbeaten Test series record in Argentina since 1981. Argentina fought hard, with tries from Lucio Cinti and Ignacio Mendy and a penalty from Santiago Carreras, but ultimately could not hold on for a draw or win. The series win marks England's sixth consecutive Test victory under coach Steve Borthwick, who praised the young squad's attitude and fight.
