Alright folks, get ready for the Rugby World Cup Bronze Final between England and Argentina! It’s going down tonight and it’s gonna be a cracker of a match. England have had a better campaign than expected, even though they lost in the semi-finals to South Africa. But let’s not dwell on that, because tonight is all about redemption. The build-up to this game has been a bit controversial, with all the talk about Tom Curry’s allegations of racial abuse. But let’s put that aside and focus on the game itself.
So, here’s the lowdown on tonight’s match. It’s happening at the Stade de France in Paris, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm BST. If you’re in the UK, you can catch the game live and free on ITV1. The coverage starts at 7.30pm, so make sure you grab your snacks and settle in.
Now, let’s talk about the teams. Argentina have made a few changes to their lineup, with Pedro Rubiolo coming in for Tomas Lavanini in the forward pack. Tomas Cubelli is starting at scrum-half, replacing Gonzalo Bertranou, and Jeronimo de la Fuente is taking over from Santiago Chocobares at inside centre. As for England, they’ve made eight changes, with Marcus Smith starting at full-back and Freddie Steward moving to the wing. Owen Farrell is leading the team as captain, and they’re ready to give it their all.
In terms of head-to-head history, England has dominated Argentina in their previous meetings. The Pumas have only managed to beat England once in their last 12 encounters. So, the odds are definitely in England’s favor. Speaking of odds, the bookies have England as the clear favorites to win tonight. They’re sitting at 3/10, while Argentina is at 11/5.
