England and Argentina face off in the highly anticipated second Test of their summer rugby series in San Juan on July 12, 2025, after England’s commanding 35-12 victory in La Plata last weekend[1][2][3].
England, under head coach Steve Borthwick, enter the match seeking to clinch the series against a desperate Argentina side. The visitors delivered a formidable defensive display in the first half of the series opener before notching four second-half tries—two from Tom Roebuck and one from Freddie Steward—along with 15 points from George Ford, who steered the team from a slim 3-0 halftime lead to a decisive win[1][2]. The only change to England’s lineup for this Test is Luke Northmore replacing the injured Henry Slade at outside centre[1][2][3].
Argentina, led by head coach Felipe Contepomi, are determined to bounce back after a disappointing performance in front of their home fans. Contepomi has made seven changes to the starting lineup in a bid to recapture the form that saw Los Pumas recently defeat the British & Irish Lions[4]. Five changes are in the forwards, with two in the backs, as the hosts look to end a run of three losses in their last four games[4]. Historically, England has dominated the head-to-head matchup, winning 22 of the previous 28 encounters, including the last three. However, since June 2013, Argentina has scored at least 10 points in every meeting between the two sides[4].
The match kicks off at 20:40 BST (3:40 p.m. ET) at Estadio Bicentenario. In the United States, fans can catch the action live on FloRugby, while UK viewers can watch on Sky Sports[1][2]. This fixture marks England’s final game of their Argentina tour before traveling to Washington D.C. to face the USA on July 19[3].
