England secured a thrilling 31-24 victory over Argentina in Santiago del Estero, relying on a decisive try from Immanuel Feyi-Waboso to survive a chaotic finish.

The tourists were forced to dig incredibly deep after suffering another alarming collapse in discipline during a stormy encounter in South America.

Tourists overcome severe numerical disadvantage

Four separate yellow cards were shown to Jack van Poortvliet, Alex Coles, Henry Pollock and Emmanuel Iyogun throughout the fiercely contested match.

This flurry of infractions meant the visiting side had to survive a grueling nine-minute spell with only 13 men on the pitch.

Despite the severe numerical disadvantage, the defensive line held firm to hustle their way to a second consecutive win.

The latest disciplinary issues take the national team’s tally to a staggering 14 yellow cards and one red across eight fixtures this calendar year.

It was a breathtaking solo effort from Feyi-Waboso in the 69th minute that ultimately proved the difference between the two international rivals.

The dynamic Exeter wing was consistently the most dangerous player on the field, constantly hunting for the ball and terrorising the opposition defence.
