The 2002 England rugby union tour of Argentina was a series of matches played in June 2002 in Argentina by the England national rugby union team. [1] The representative side played only two matches in Argentina, winning both of them, the first v the Argentina Second Team (Jaguares) [2] and a test match at José Amalfitani Stadium. [3]
In the test match, a young and inexperienced team beat the Argentina senior 26–18 in front of 40,000 people. The victory was praised by British media, remarking the "stunning second-half" played by England, [4] while Argentina's performance was heavily criticised by local media. At the end of the first half, Argentina led the score 12–3, but they were then overcome by the English side. [5]
The test at Vélez Sársfield was the 12th match between both sides. England achieved their 8th victory against 2 of Argentina. [5]
