England came agonisingly close to reaching a fifth Rugby World Cup final but their old nemesis South Africa edged them in the final minutes to keep alive their defence of the title they won for a third time in 2019. Argentina recovered from their opening round loss against Friday’s opponents to progress into the last four, but were humbled by the All Blacks in the other semi-final.
Los Pumas have brought in Pedro Rubiolo to replace Tomas Lavanini in the second-row, Tomás Cubelli is in ahead of Gonzalo Bertranou at scrum-half while Jeronimo de la Fuente replaces Santiago Chocobares at inside centre.
England have made eight personnel changes to the team that was pipped by South Africa in the semi-finals as Ben Youngs signs off his international career with his first start of the 2023 Rugby World Cup and Henry Arundell returns after his five-try outing against Chile in the third pool phase round.
