England hold nerve to land bronze medal

ARGENTINA 23
ENGLAND 26

Ben Earl and Theo Dan touched down but England will rue allowing a 13-0 lead to slip away, the Pumas clearly out to avenge their rout when the teams met in the pool stage seven weeks ago.

The remaining points for England in an arm-wrestle of a contest in which 'Kamikaze Kids' Tom Curry and Sam Underhill excelled were supplied by Owen Farrell's flawless kicking, which ultimately proved the difference between the sides.

England have now finished in the World Cup's top three on five occasions, with only tonight's finalists New Zealand and South Africa managing more podium appearances.

Argentina were roared on by the neutrals in a 77,674 crowd and with only pockets of Red Rose supporters present.
