Argentina vs England prediction

An experimental England side travels to Argentina for a two-match series against the Pumas, who have made some significant strides in world rugby in recent times.

England head coach Steve Borthwick is without a number of key players due to their participation in the concurrent British & Irish Lions tour in Australia, and the look of the squad he has selected is relatively inexperienced.

That could spell bad news against an Argentina side who recently defeated the Lions to underline their status as a major force right now. The Pumas also claimed victories over New Zealand, South Africa and Australia in the most recent Rugby Championship, so they will hold no fear of a weakened England.

A home win certainly looks on the cards here.
