England’s stunning 33-19 victory over the All Blacks at Twickenham last week made it ten victories in a row for Steve Borthwick’s men and they conclude their Autumn Nations Series against Argentina on Sunday.
The Red Rose have won 14 of the last 15 meetings between the nations, including back-to-back wins in Argentina in the summer with a team missing all their British & Irish Lions players, and the hosts are ten-point favourites to round off their November campaign with a clean sweep.

England vs Argentina preview
After beating New Zealand in spectacular fashion last week England are eyeing an autumn slam but they have no excuse for underrating Sunday’s opponents Argentina.
Los Pumas began the year with a big win over the British & Irish Lions in Dublin, and four of England’s starting pack as well as three bench players were involved in that match.
Argentina have since beaten New Zealand and pushed world champions South Africa to two points, while they have won their last two Tests against Wales and Scotland.
However, their summer schedule featured back-to-back home defeats to an England team marshalled by fly-half George Ford, and this may be a match too far for a Pumas side who have made five changes, including at fly-half.
Tomas Albornoz returns from injury and goes straight into the number ten shirt having joined up with the squad at the start of the week.
England have also been hit by injuries and have a new midfield pairing in Max Ojomoh and Henry Slade, but there should be more continuity to their side with the savvy Ford retained at fly-half and a strong pack.
Argentina were slow into their stride at Murrayfield last week, trailing 19-0 at half-time, but they scored the first try inside seven minutes against Wales the week before and in four minutes against South Africa before that.
They are strong in attack but meetings with England have not tended to be blowouts – just one of the pair’s last seven clashes has exceeded Sunday’s points line of 51.5 – and backing an efficient England victory looks the best approach.
