Check out how to watch England v Argentina in the Rugby World Cup 2023 third-place play-off, including TV details and more.
These two teams met on the opening weekend, where a red card to England’s Tom Curry somehow allowed England’s conservative and controlled approach to come to the fore to win 27-10.
Argentina upset Wales in the quarter-final before being put to the sword by the All Blacks in their semi-final. England, after being written off before the tournament, made it to the semi-finals as the only unbeaten team left in the competition and were defeated by South Africa by a single point, showing how far Steve Borthwick has taken this side in the past six weeks.
Michael Cheika’s Pumas will be eager not only to avenge their loss to England, but to leave France with a bang after a 44-6 loss to New Zealand took the wind out of their sails.
Borthwick and co will want to finish their tournament with a bronze medal, but this also represents a chance for him to ring the changes and give some players another start in a World Cup match. The likes of Henry Arundell, who we last saw scoring five tries against Chile, could definitely end the tournament on a high against Argentina. Marcus Smith, Jack Walker and Theo Dan are all young players who will gain a lot from a final World Cup appearance this year.

England v Argentina key player to watch
Courtney Lawes (England)
Sadly, the ‘bronze final’ won’t mark the final England match of Courtney Lawes, who is calling time on his international career once the World Cup is over, as he has not been included in the squad, but it would be remiss of us not to make special mention of the 34-year-old.
Lawes will receive well-deserved plaudits from players, fans and pundits after his decorated career, with over 100 caps for England and appearances as a British & Irish Lion.
