England survive Argentine comeback for 27-23 win

LONDON :Max Ojomoh had a day to remember on Sunday when he scored a try and expertly set up two others as England survived a thrilling Argentina comeback in a 27-23 victory for their 11th successive win and a clean sweep of all four Autumn Series matches.

Bath centre Ojomoh, a late call up for his second cap on Friday, got the first try and set up the second for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso as England led 17-3 at halftime.

Argentina, who came back from 21-0 down to beat Scotland 33-24 last week, fought back again to get within a point only for Ojomoh to send Henry Slade over.

Rodrigo Isgro scored for the Pumas in the 79th minute to set up a grandstand finish, only for England to mess up a Puma lineout on their own five metre line and escape.

It was England's least convincing performance of the series after wins over Australia, Fiji and New Zealand, but still marked a first sweep of four Autumn wins since Eddie Jones' first year in charge in 2016 and capped a hugely satisfying year.

The game lacked the electric charge of last week's victory over the All Blacks with relentless kicking and few cohesive attacks, but it certainly provided late drama.

"I understand what my role is and I was waiting to take it onto the field today. I gave a lot of energy in the week, and I’m glad I got to bring it to the field," said man of the match Ojomoh.

"I had Fordy with 100 caps inside me, Sladey with 70 caps outside me, I had a plethora of experience around me, I just needed to lean on them when I needed to."

England drew first blood with a George Ford drop goal and soon moved 10-0 ahead. Argentina failed to deal with a high Ben Spencer kick and Ojomoh grabbed the loose ball and gleefully galloped over.
