England 27-23 Argentina
Hosts hold on to secure 11th successive victory
England rounded off their first four-Test autumn Twickenham clean sweep since 2016 with their 11th successive win of a highly satisfying calendar year. Argentina made them sweat in the second half but 12 points from the boot of George Ford and a productive first home start by Max Ojomoh enabled Steve Borthwick’s side to edge an increasingly tense contest.
Ojomoh, on his first home start, scored a sharp early try and also provided assists for further scores by the Exeter duo of Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Henry Slade. In the closing moments, though, it was England who were left hanging on before an injury-time lineout fumble thwarted another potentially extraordinary Pumas comeback.
It completed England’s most successful autumn since they beat South Africa, Fiji, Argentina and Australia on successive weekends in the first year of Eddie Jones’s tenure. An outbreak of pushing and shoving at the final whistle involving Henry Pollock was not the most obvious way to celebrate but England are increasingly good at finding a way to win.
