Tries from Ben Earl and Theo Dan helped England edge to a 26-23 victory over Argentina in the bronze final at the Rugby World Cup
Argentina 23-26 EnglandEngland’s World Cup ends as it started, a hard-fought win over Argentina to ensure a third-place finish that Steve Borthwick will be content with when he comes to pore over the past few months. It wasn’t particularly pretty but Tom Curry was at the heart of a gritty, scrappy victory rounding off a difficult week for the England flanker on a high and neatly bookending his side’s campaign.
Curry’s first significant intervention came after just 90 seconds, putting his bandaged head where it hurts to win a penalty at the breakdown. Farrell – despite repeated booing – comfortably converted for a 3-0 lead. Before the opening 10 minutes were up, England had the opening try, a lovely move finished by Earl after a slick bit of interplay between the No 8 and Smith.
