England Rugby Defeats Argentina Amid Discipline Fallout

England secured a 31‑24 victory over Argentina, but the win was shadowed by criticism from former England star Will Greenwood. Greenwood condemned the team's discipline, saying "Some daft decisions by lads who should know better" and blasted the practice of allowing yellow‑carded players to return, describing it as "a rod for your own back." He also called the 2½‑hour match "an absolute joke" and lamented the overturned Argentine try, stating "There was nothing clear and obvious about that last try for Argentina being taken away."

Greenwood singled out Immanuel Feyi‑Waboso for poor performance while praising Joe Heyes for his scrum work. He acknowledged coach Steve Borthwick's decision to stick with his selection under pressure, noting that the result could be crucial for the team.

The match featured a lengthy TMO review and highlighted ongoing concerns about England's on‑field conduct and consistency.
