How to watch England vs Argentina - date, time and TV details for Rugby World Cup 3rd place match

England and Argentina’s hopes of Rugby World Cup glory ended in the semi-final, but there is still plenty of pride at stake as the two nations go toe to toe in the tournament’s third place play-off.

England are hoping to bounce back from a narrow 16-15 defeat against reigning champions South Africa, while Argentina are hoping to restore some pride after a demoralising 44-6 thrashing at the hands of New Zealand.

The fixture is a direct repeat of the game which took place on the opening weekend where a red card to England’s Tom Curry somehow allowed the team’s conservative approach to earn a 27-10 victory.

Steve Borthwick and his team will want to finish their tournament with a bronze medal, but this game still represents a key opportunity for the manager to ring the changes and give players another appearance in a World Cup match.

With that in mind we take a look ahead to England’s game with Argentina and all the key TV details ahead of the clash.
