England receive that extra Yarde
London Irish wing Marland Yarde will win his first England cap when they take on Argentina in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
Bath Rugby’s Kyle Eastmond, who made his Test debut in last Saturday’s 32-3 win in Salta, will start for the first time in the No.12 jersey vacated by Lions-bound centre Billy Twelvetrees.
And flyhalf Stephen Myler will win a first cap if he comes off the replacements’ bench.
England are bidding to secure a first series win in Argentina since 1981, when Bill Beaumont’s tourists drew the first and won the second of their two Tests.
Head Coach Stuart Lancaster said: "It is great to reward young players who have pushed through this season. They have worked hard to earn their opportunities on this tour.
"This is a young England side which made a very positive start to the series in Salta. But we expect Argentina to come back very strongly in front of a big home crowd.
"It’s a great challenge and one we are all looking forward to," Lancaster added.
