With England leading 31-24, Argentina wing Bautista Delguy scored in the corner with the final play - leaving a difficult conversion to secure a draw. Referee Angus Gardner had awarded the try on field, but television match official Brett Cronan insisted Delguy was in touch. While Gardner repeatedly suggested there was no clear evidence to overturn his original on-field call, the try was eventually chalked off. A try-saving tackle by Henry Slade proved to be the decisive moment, with Gardner surrounded by frustrated Argentina players at full-time. More to follow.
