If Argentina remain disciplined, they have the courage and players to go after England in the wider channels
Borthwick has rolled out the superlatives to describe how dedicated Mitchell, May, and another veteran Dan Cole, promoted to a starting role as Kyle Sinckler rehabilitates, have been to a cause that would have seemed foreign for the first two players mentioned a fortnight ago.
The former Leinster axis of Michael Cheika and Felipe Contepomi must be reasonably confident that they possess the wherewithal to finish on the right side of this pool-defining game. There are a couple of non-negotiables, one that Marcos Kremer, back from a five-game suspension, and Tomas Lavanini are on their best behaviour from a discipline perspective and that the Pumas have the courage to go after England in the wider channels.
