Argentina v England RECAP | World Cup

READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the World Cup Bronze Final between Argentina and England at Stade de France in Saint-Denis.

The two defeated semifinalists have had about a week to pick themselves up from their disappointment, and prepare for this match, the penultimate match of World Cup 2023, and a curtain raiser to the showpiece match on Saturday.

You don’t need a long memory to recall these two sides’ last encounter. It was in Marseille, on the second day of the tournament. Tom Curry was sent off for a dangerous challenge in the third minute, and then George Ford took charge. He landed three first-half drop goals and kicked all of England’s points in a 27-10 victory that got Borthwick’s side off to a winning start.

Four victories and one defeat each later, the two sides meet again.
