England's rugby team aims to complete an unbeaten year on home soil this Sunday as they face Argentina in their final Quilter Nations Series encounter of 2025.
Under the guidance of Steve Borthwick, the squad has built formidable momentum with a ten-match unbeaten streak. This impressive run comes after an initial setback against Ireland at the start of the year and was notably extended with a stunning victory over the All Blacks in their previous outing.
Match Details and Broadcast Information
The highly anticipated fixture between England and Argentina is scheduled for Sunday 23 November. The action kicks off at 4.10pm GMT at the iconic Allianz Stadium in Twickenham.
For fans in the United Kingdom, the match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1. Coverage begins at 3.45pm GMT. If you prefer to stream the action, a live feed will be available via the discovery+ platform.
Team News and Line-ups
Injury concerns have prompted Borthwick to make several changes to his backline. Tom Roebuck, Ollie Lawrence, and Tommy Freeman are all unavailable. However, there is positive news regarding Freddie Steward, who has passed head injury assessments after being forced off early last week.
This has allowed Borthwick to call upon the experienced Henry Slade at outside centre and Elliot Daly on the wing. Fraser Dingwall also drops out, paving the way for a second cap for Max Ojomoh. At scrum half, Ben Spencer gets the nod ahead of Alex Mitchell.
A significant change comes in the front row, where Asher Opoku-Fordjour is set for his first Test start at tighthead prop.
For Argentina, the team is strengthened by the return of fly-half Tomas Albornoz, who makes his first appearance this November. While they are without Santiago Chocobares and Mateo Carreras, the inclusion of Matias Moroni and Bautista Delguy ensures the backline remains dangerous.
Up front, Thomas Gallo is promoted to the starting side after a strong performance off the bench against Scotland. The pack is further bolstered by the return of Marcos Kremer in the back row.

A Test of Momentum and Resolve
England will be acutely aware of the threat posed by this Argentine side. The Pumas demonstrated their resilience last weekend by mounting a stirring comeback from 21-0 down against Scotland. Furthermore, Argentina were victorious on their last visit to Twickenham back in 2022, a fact that will not be lost on the home team.
This match represents the final hurdle in England's quest for a perfect home record in 2025. With a revamped line-up and the passionate Twickenham crowd behind them, Steve Borthwick's men will be determined to secure a victory and cement their impressive end-of-year form.
