England Edge Argentina 38-34 in Summer Internationals Thriller

Argentina and England served up an epic encounter on Saturday, with the visitors narrowly beating the Pumas 38-34 in a summer international.

Juan Martin Hernandez had given the hosts the lead with a drop-goal with minutes left to play, but Denny Solomona answered in the dying seconds with a huge try.

George Ford scored a try and added four penalties and three conversions, while Marland Yarde and Jonny May also went over. For the Pumas, Nicolas Sanchez made one penalty and four conversions, and Joaquin Tuculet, Jeronimo De La Fuente, Emiliano Boffelli and Tomas Lavanini scored tries.

England's squad featured four debutants, including the 18-year-old Tom Curry. Per OptaJonny, he was the youngest to do so in a long time:

The more experienced Pumas made a fast start and earned a penalty on Nathan Hughes at a scrum after two minutes. Sanchez hooked his effort wide, but the hosts kept up the pressure, and Sanchez more than made up for his miss with a great kick through the English line for Boffelli, who scored the first try.

Per BBC Sport's live blog of the match, former England coach Andy Robinson was impressed: "That's a really smart bit of play from Argentina. The chip from Sanchez is perfect for Boffelli to get in and score. Argentina look to move the ball to the right side and move Brown away from the sweeper role, which gave them space to score."

Ford sent his first kick from the tee booming down the middle, putting England on the board inside of 20 minutes. A second kick made it a 7-6 match, with Argentina failing to capitalise on the many turnovers of their opponents.

Just past the half-hour mark, Yarde was matched up against a prop and made quick work of his opponent, handing England their first lead. O2 Sports enjoyed the score:

But the lead was short-lived, as the Pumas hit back through the powerful Lavanini, with Sanchez scoring the extras.

With the last kick of the half, the 28-year-old added to his side's lead, passing 500 international points in the process.

Ultimate Rugby enjoyed the action:

Ford reduced the deficit to a single point with another penalty early in the second half, and May reclaimed the lead for the visitors with a stunning try, courtesy of a great kick through from Henry Slade.

Former international Jason Robinson was impressed:

The back-and-forth continued with two Argentinian tries in quick succession, from De la Fuente and Tuculet, but minutes after Sanchez missed a penalty, Ford added a try of his own before missing the conversion, leaving the match tied.

The Loose Head urged fans to tune in to watch the thriller:

The final minutes were cagey, but Hernandez gave the home fans reason to celebrate with a well-executed drop-goal just before the final whistle.

Argentina thought they had won it, but substitute Solomona scored a try at the death to win it for the visitors. Ford kicked the extras and cleared after a scrum past the hooter to cap off a memorable night for England.
