England recover from 17-14 half-time deficit to snatch win
Jamie George flies to Australia to join up with the British and Irish Lions on Sunday with a song in his heart after watching England snatch series glory against Argentina with a last-minute try.
England’s senior player and co-captain had been withdrawn from the game just five hours before after Luke Cowan-Dickie was knocked out on Lions duty in Adelaide. It was a significant blow to Steve Borthwick’s inexperienced group and, in truth, their lineout suffered all evening. But none of that seemed to matter after Jack van Poortvliet came off the bench to score a last-minute try and win the tightest of games for the touring side.
