SANTA FE, Argentina (AFP) - England defeated Argentina 35-25 in a Santa Fe thriller on Saturday (June 17) to clinch a 2-0 victory in the two-Test series.

The tourists, level at 25-25 with 16 minutes left, finished stronger as prop Will Collier barged over for a try that fly-half George Ford converted.

Ford sealed success for England, lacking 30 of their best players, primarily due to British and Irish Lions call-ups, with a drop goal six minutes from time.
