England No 8 Ben Earl scored twice as England beat Argentina 31-24 in the Nations Championship on Saturday in an ill-disciplined affair overshadowed by off-field matters.
Los Pumas fly-half Tomas Albornoz was denied a chance to claim a dramatic draw with a conversion attempt after winger Bautista Delguy’s 83rd-minute touchdown was chalked off after a discussion between the referee and television match official.
Earl made his contributions in an eight-minute first-half spell in Santiago del Estero as England claimed a second straight victory in the competition.
For Argentina it was a second defeat in their opening three games in a poor yet emotionally-driven display, hours out from their footballing counterparts eyeing a defence of their World Cup crown against Spain in New York.
“It went right until the end, really dramatic,” England winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso told ESPN.
