On the plata lawn, England was able to make its back in the first period before making the difference after the break and signing a large victory over Argentina (12-35).
England signs the pass of three against Argentina. For their first confrontation since the two won by the XV of the rose during the last World Cup, Steve Barthwick players went to the Plata. From the first moments of the meeting, the two teams showed a total commitment. But that did not allow the scoring to move with two training courses that were neutralized. At the quarter of an hour of play, the Argentines thought they were making the difference after a succession of playing time up close but without managing to flatten. On this same action, Alex Coles received a yellow card for a head shock against head with Facundo Isa. If the “bunker” was asked, there was no change in the initial sanction.
In the process, Pablo Matera was able to enter the English in-goal but, there, the opposing defense was able to do what is necessary to prevent him from flattening. A numerical superiority which the Pumas have not been able to take advantage of. On the contrary, after a failure at the foot of Santiago Carreras, George Ford has shown opportunism for his 100th selection with the XV of the rose.
From a perfectly executed drop, the English opener opened the scoring. Except that in the process, Seb Atkinson left his family to thirteen for a few minutes for a position of offside sanctioned by the referee. Two less, the English remained solid in defense. Which prevented Pedro Delgado from release the Plata audience.
England was able to unroll in the second period
The end of the first period saw the Argentine selection push to take the advantage in the score before the break, without success. The start of the second act was very different. If the Pumas lacked realism in the first period, The XV of the rose went to Lady three times in the space of ten minutes. Tom Roebuck set the tone by forcing the passage on an action initiated by George Ford. Freddie Steward then victoriously concluded at the foot of the poles a game sequence launched by his forwards. Finally, shifted by his pillar Joseph Hayes, Tom Roebuck went there with his double to give 22 points ahead of England. Clearly, Argentines have made a point of reacting immediate way. Pablo Matera took advantage of a very good game behavior of his teammates to unlock the pumas counter by finding a flaw in the English defensive curtain.
At the time of play, Pedro Rubiolo gave a little hope to the Plata audience by bringing his family back to ten points with the second Argentinian try but the revolt stopped there. After two penalties in four minutes of George Ford, Cadan Murley celebrated his second selection by giving more magnitude to the success of the XV of the Rose with a fourth and last test. At the end of a meeting first hung then controlled,
England is largely essential (12-35) against Argentines who will be keen to take revenge next weekend in San Juan Before a trip to the United States to conclude the season.
