England's Dingwall out of Argentina clash

England were forced into a late change Friday to their starting side to play Argentina at Twickenham, with Max Ojomoh replacing the injured Fraser Dingwall at inside centre.

Text size:

Dingwall, who started England's previous three Autumn Series internationals Tests and scored a try in last week's 33-19 win over New Zealand, has failed to overcome a side injury sustained against the All Blacks.

The 26-year-old Dingwall's absence has paved the way for Bath centre Ojomoh to make his first Test start at Twickenham on Sunday, having won a first cap away to the United States in July.

Max, the 25-year-old son of former England flanker Steve Ojomoh, will form a centre partnership with Henry Slade, who came in for the injured Ollie Lawrence when coach Steve Borthwick named his original team to take on the Pumas on Wednesday.

England will be bidding for their 11th win in a row in their final match of the Autumn Nations Series.

They face an Argentina side fresh from a dramatic 33-24 win over Scotland at Murrayfield -- a match where the Pumas were 21-0 behind with just over a quarter of the game remaining.

England team (15-1)

Freddie Steward; Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, Henry Slade, Max Ojomoh, Elliot Daly; George Ford, Ben Spencer; Ben Earl, Sam Underhill, Guy Pepper; Alex Coles, Maro Itoje (capt); Asher Opoku-Fordjour, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Ellis Genge

Replacements: Theo Dan, Fin Baxter, Will Stuart, Charlie Ewels, Tom Curry, Henry Pollock, Alex Mitchell, Marcus Smith

Coach: Steve Borthwick (ENG)
