Both teams are determined to end their tournament with a strong performance after experiencing the disappointment of losing in the semi-finals. Argentina faced a brutal defeat at the hands of New Zealand, while England suffered a heartbreaking loss in the final moments against South Africa. For England, this is their second time competing in the Bronze Final. In 1995, they faced France but unfortunately came up short. They came incredibly close to securing a spot in this year’s grand finale but were narrowly beaten by a single point in their match against South Africa.
On the other hand, Argentina has tasted success in the Bronze Final before, securing a third-place finish in 2007. However, their hopes were dashed in 2015 when South Africa defeated them. Both teams will be eager to showcase their talents and demonstrate their resilience in this highly anticipated match. Following this is the Argentina vs England World Cup lineup.

Will last match brawl affect Tom Curry’s performance?
Tom Curry, a flanker for England, has been included in the starting lineup for the upcoming match. Earlier this week, Curry received messages of support from his club, Sale Sharks, as well as from England and the Rugby Football Union. This show of support stems from an incident in the semi-final match, where Curry accused South Africa’s Bongi Mbonambi of making a racist remark towards him. The case is currently being investigated, but World Rugby has not provided a timeline for when their initial investigation will be completed.
