Argentina vs. England: Start Time, Live Stream for 2017 Summer Internationals

England will get their summer tour of Argentina under way on Saturday hoping to get their two-Test series started on the right foot.

Head coach Eddie Jones has had his squad selection restricted by the British and Irish Lions' ongoing tour of New Zealand, but he'll undoubtedly hope his remaining stars will be sufficient to beat Argentina.

The Pumas, on the other hand, have no such grave obstacles in their selection and will be utilising this series as preparation for the 2017 Rugby Championship, which kicks off in August.

England come to South America as Six Nations champions for two years running, meaning despite their stars' split commitments, they have a reputation to defend as the best team Europe has to offer at present.

Preview

Argentina play host to England this summer with possibly their strongest ever chance of mounting some dominance over the Red Rose, having lost their last six meetings in succession. Their last win took place in June 2009.

While Jones' selection has been crippled by the Lions tour, Argentina find themselves close to full squad fitness. The England Twitter feed celebrated the number of England players named for the Lions' tour match with the Crusaders:

Chief among the players the visitors will want to keep an eye on is electric winger Santiago Cordero, who starred at the 2015 Rugby World Cup alongside fellow threats fly-half Nicolas Sanchez and hooker Agustin Creevy.  

But England have some star names of their own left without tickets to New Zealand, and rugby writer Ben Coles recently spoke of Wasps No. 8 Nathan Hughes as a big talent during last month's Aviva Premiership final:

Hooker Dylan Hartley retains his place as captain opposite Creevy, while Joe Launchbury, Chris Robshaw, Mike Brown and Danny Care are among some of the more seasoned internationals in the team.

That being said, England attack coach Glen Ella has spoken of several exciting players to watch out for, per the official England Rugby website:

“It’s good to see Sladey (Henry Slade) step up; I don’t think he got a run in Australia last year and now he's one of the senior players and is looking good. I like Alex (Lozowski) as well. Harry (Mallinder) is keen, he runs good lines, he’s a good kicker of the ball and is just a sponge - he wants to ask questions, wants to learn and get better, it’s a good attribute."

“So there’s a few guys I think could go to the next level, it’s just about giving them the experience of Test rugby now.” 

Of course, it's a boon for Jones to have fly-half George Ford under his command after Lions coach Warren Gatland didn't select the Leicester-bound playmaker, although Northampton full-back Ben Foden disagreed with that decision:

Views like that go to show just how slim the margins are between some of those still in the England summer squad and their peers in New Zealand, promising Argentina will have a major task on their hands regardless.

Whichever team takes victory in San Juan this weekend will take the upper hand in their two-legged encounter, with the Pumas chasing their first win over the Red Rose in eight years.
