Hide AdDespite looking to go one better this year, expectations are at an all-time low for Steve Borthwick’s side. They have just three wins to their name so far in 2023, two of which came against Wales.
Argentina definitely come into the game as favourites, due to their recent performances including an impressive away win against Australia and two ever so narrow losses against the current World Champions, South Africa.
It’s the first of four group stage matches for England. After Argentina they will face Japan on September 17, Chile six days later on September 23 before rounding off their group stage campaign against Samoa on October 7.
When does England v Argentina kick off?
England v Argentina kicks off at 8pm UK time on Saturday, September 9 . The game will take place at Stade Velodrome, Marseille.
