England A run riot against Argentina XV with emphatic 59–24 victory in Bath

England A delivered an impressive attacking display to defeat Argentina XV 59–24 at The Recreation Ground in Bath on Friday evening, scoring nine tries in an entertaining encounter.

The result was built on an outstanding attacking performance, although Argentina showed plenty of resilience in the opening half and made England work hard for their eventual victory.

Fast start before Argentina fight back

England made an explosive start, with winger Noah Caluori crossing for an early try inside the opening two minutes.

Argentina responded positively, however, with Rodrigo Fernández Criado and Pedro Delgado both finding the try line to give the visitors a 14–7 advantage.

England's response came through Max Ojomoh, whose try brought the scores level. Charlie Atkinson and Caluori then added further tries as the home side began to establish control.

Argentina continued to threaten, with Santiago Pernas crossing before the interval.

Despite the visitors' determined efforts, England went into half-time holding a 28–19 lead.

England turn on the style after the break

England emerged for the second half determined to put the contest beyond Argentina.

Jack Kenningham and Jamie Blamire both crossed the line to extend the home side's advantage.

Argentina refused to give up, with Federico Serpa adding another try, but England's attacking quality ultimately proved decisive.

Luke Northmore scored twice as England continued to exploit gaps in the Argentine defence, while Tobias Elliott also got on the scoresheet.

With nine tries in total, England finished the evening with a convincing 59–24 victory.

Standout performers

Noah Caluori was one of England's major attacking threats, finishing with two tries and demonstrating his finishing ability.

Centre Luke Northmore also enjoyed an excellent evening, crossing twice, while Max Ojomoh made an important contribution to England's attacking play.

Charlie Atkinson helped provide direction in the backs, while England's forwards contributed significantly to the team's ability to build pressure and create scoring opportunities.

A positive evening for England A

The victory provided plenty of encouragement for England, particularly in the attacking department.

Scoring nine tries against Argentina XV demonstrated the potential within the squad, while the performances of younger players such as Caluori and Ojomoh will give the coaching staff plenty to consider.

There will nevertheless be defensive aspects to review. Argentina managed four tries and caused England problems during the first half, demonstrating that there is still room for improvement.

Ultimately, however, England A will take considerable confidence from a convincing 59–24 victory in Bath.

Final score: England A 59–24 Argentina XV
Half-time: England A 28–19 Argentina XV
