Rugby's Nations Championship provides the setting as Argentina and England renew their fierce rivalry tonight for the second time this week. Steve Borthwick's side make the long trip to the Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero just three days after a dramatic football World Cup semi-final between the two countries, in which England blew a late lead to lose 2-1 in heartbreaking fashion amid fierce criticism of Thomas Tuchel's tactics.
Pumas eager for a memorable double
The Pumas will be eager to make it a memorable double for Argentina this evening having bounced back from their opening weekend loss to Scotland by easing past Wales, though England should have some renewed confidence after running in 11 tries - including a hat-trick for Henry Pollock - during a 73-8 demolition of Fiji. That resounding victory in Liverpool snapped a damaging five-game losing streak that had seen the pressure mount considerably on Borthwick, with a historically bad Six Nations campaign followed by a thrashing in South Africa.
Late change to England's squad
But this should be a far tougher test for England, who have seen Asher Opoku-Fordjour withdrawn late from their bench due to concussion as George Kloska comes back in. Follow Argentina vs England live below!

Argentina vs England live
It's Argentina vs England all over again tonight. Just three days after that most dramatic of football World Cup semi-final showdowns in Atlanta, the fierce rivals collide once more - this time in rugby union's Nations Championship. Steve Borthwick's side will no doubt want to restore some English pride and build momentum after ending the five-match losing streak that had put him under such significant pressure with an 11-try, 73-8 thrashing of Fiji in what was technically an away match in Liverpool last weekend.
Henry Pollock hat-trick sparks England's win
Henry Pollock registered a second-half hat-trick and there were scores for debutants Benhard Janse van Rensburg and Noah Caluori as England bounced back following a drubbing in South Africa on the first week of the inaugural Northern Hemisphere vs Southern Hemisphere competition that followed their worst-ever Six Nations campaign. But they have another tough challenge in store this evening away against a confident and experienced Pumas outfit who brushed aside Wales in round two after being outgunned by Scotland on home soil.
