England beat Argentina in thriller after late TMO call

England secured a dramatic 31-24 victory over Argentina in a thrilling Nations Championship encounter, a win that was overshadowed by a controversial disallowed try on the final play.

With England down to 13 players and leading by seven points, Argentina's Bautista Delguy appeared to score in the corner. The on-field referee initially signaled a try, but the television match official intervened, insisting Delguy had stepped into touch. Despite the referee's initial call and apparent lack of clear evidence to overturn it, the try was ultimately chalked off, leaving Argentine players incensed.

The match was a chaotic and action-packed affair, marked by a total of seven yellow cards. England had built a significant 16-point lead by halftime, thanks to tries from Tommy Freeman and two from Ben Earl. Argentina fought back, capitalizing on England's disciplinary issues, but their own ill-discipline hindered their efforts to close the gap further.

This victory is a significant boost for England coach Steve Borthwick, whose position had been under scrutiny following a poor Six Nations performance. Following a tough loss to South Africa, England has now secured back-to-back wins against Fiji and Argentina, setting a positive tone for their upcoming November fixtures in the Nations Championship.
