Best and worst debut of my life - Denny Solomona

England international Denny Solomona admitted that he had a mixed experience on his international debut against Argentina at Estadio del Bicentenario on Saturday.

The rugby league convert, who was named among the replacements for the game replaced Marland Yarde in the 50th minute felt the heat straightaway as Argentina's Jeronimo de la Fuente and Joaquin Tuculet went past him to score back to back tries for the Pumas as they increased their lead to eight points.

However, the 23-year-old made amends as he went past the line in the 78th minute to help England pull off a thrilling 34-38 win.

"It's unreal," Solomona said. "I think that is the best and worst debut I have had in my life!

"Credit to the boys, they dug deep for 80 minutes and w e stuck to it until the last second. It was a thrilling game to be a part of and I am glad that I have made my debut, especially among the other nine people."

England coach Eddie Jones admitted that the Sale Sharks winger got influenced by the occasion and further emphasised that he needs to improve on his defence to have a chance of featuring in the start line-up for second game.

"We will be shopping for a tackle bag and studs next week so if you see him roaming the streets you will know why," Jones said after Saturday's victory.

"I think he was so nervous. You watch him and he misses the tackle, he gets up and he stumbles again.

"I think he was just so nervous - the big occasion got to him. But the great thing is he bounced back. He had one opportunity to carry the ball and it was a fantastic carry."
