England make one change for second Test vs Argentina

7 hours ago 1

Steve Borthwick has named his England team to play Argentina on Saturday 12 July, live on Sky Sports, making just one change to his side.

Luke Northmore is set to make his first start in an England shirt at centre with the rest of the team remaining unchanged. Northmore replaces Henry Slade, who was confirmed as out for the remainder of the tour following a hand injury.

The replacement bench subsequently remains the same and England have retained a 6-2 split between forwards and backs.

The final Test in the two-match series sees George Ford and Jamie George as co-captains, with Ford winning his 101st cap.
