Pumas vs England: Revenge & Twickenham History | Olé

The Pumas They will close the November window this Sunday at 1:10 p.m. against England in Twickenhamin London. It will be more than just the last test of the year: The National Team will seek to take revenge on its current black beast and, at the same time, try something unprecedented in its history, close a complete tour of British soil with three wins after the victories against Wales and Scotland. This duel against La Rosa will be broadcast live on ESPN2 y Disney+ Premium.

The team of Felipe Contepomi arrives in tune, while those led by Steve Borthwick arrive with a streak of ten consecutive wins, the last defeat in February against Ireland in the Six Nations. England will once again have George Ford as an opening, a true recent executioner for the Argentines.

The rivalry carries a recent weight that explains the tone of revenge: although this base of Argentine players knows what it is to win at Twickenham -he did it in 2022 with an unforgettable 30-29, with 25 points from Emiliano Boffelli-, Since then the domain has changed sides. England won both matches in the 2023 World Cup, first in the debut despite playing a good part of the match with one man less and then in the bronze medal match, and won again this year in the July window, both in La Plata (35-12) and in San Juan (22-17). Four defeats in a row that once again put La Rosa as an especially tough obstacle for Los Pumas.

For this match, Contepomi made five changes compared to the XV that took the field last Sunday in Edinburgh: Thomas Gallo for Mayco Vivas, Marcos Kremer for Joaquín Oviedo (González passes 6 and Grondona, 8), Tomás Albornoz for Gerónimo Prisciantelli, Bautista Delguy for Mateo Carreras and Justo Piccardo for Santiago Chocobares.

The team, which already knew how to win at Twickenham in 2006 and 2022, returns to London with a double objective: sign a historic tour and, above all, end the English streak in one of the cathedrals of world rugby.
