England holds off Argentina fightback to seal sweep of November rugby wins

In a gripping encounter at Twickenham on Sunday, England emerged victorious with a 27-23 win over Argentina, capping off a flawless November campaign. The match, marked by dramatic momentum shifts, saw England withstand a fierce second-half resurgence from the Pumas, inspired by the heroics of late call-up Max Ojomoh. Ojomoh, who was drafted into the squad on Friday following Fraser Dingwall’s injury, made an immediate impact. He opened the scoring with a breakaway try in the 10th minute, propelling England to a 10-0 lead. His crossfield kick to Immanuel Feyi-Waboso further extended the advantage to 17-0. Argentina, known for their resilience after last weekend’s comeback against Scotland, clawed their way back into the game. Justo Piccardo’s converted try and three penalties narrowed the gap to 17-16, setting the stage for another potential turnaround. However, Ojomoh’s decisive play in the 66th minute, offloading to Henry Slade for a crucial try, and George Ford’s conversion and penalty ensured England’s victory. Despite Rodrigo Isgro’s late try and a frantic final push from Argentina, England held firm to secure their 11th consecutive test win, having previously defeated Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand in successive weekends.
