Argentina Form

Argentina recently played back-to-back matches against England at home, losing the first Test 22-17 and the second 35-12 last weekend.

Before those results, Argentina got their season off to a great start by beating the British & Irish Lions 28-24 at the Aviva Stadium in June.

Argentina will have too much firepower for Uruguay, despite making changes to their squad after their recent clashes against England.
