England team to Argentina in San Juan

England men’s head coach Steve Borthwick has named his team to play Argentina at Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario on Saturday 12 July (kick-off 8.40pm BST, broadcast live on Sky Sports).
 
There is just one change to the starting XV that defeated Argentina in La Plata 35–12 last weekend, with Luke Northmore set to make his first start in an England shirt at centre.
 
The replacement bench remains unchanged, retaining a 6-2 split between forwards and backs. The final Test in the two-match series sees George Ford and Jamie George as co-captains.
 
“Saturday’s match in San Juan is another great challenge,” said Borthwick.
 
“The players have trained with real focus and intensity this week, determined to keep improving in every area.
 
“We’re expecting a tactical battle as well as a tough, physical contest, and everyone is excited for what should be a fantastic Test match.”
 
England’s summer tour concludes with a match against the USA Eagles in Washington D.C. on Saturday 19 July.
