  Jordie Barrett's European debut, 83 tries and Storm Darragh all made for a thrilling start to the 2024-25 Investec Champions Cup. European rugby's big hitters, alongside three South African sides, all kickstarted their campaigns - so what are the key talking points?

The article from the BBC Sport website discusses the upcoming Rugby World Cup match between England and Argentina, highlighting the significant challenge England faces following their record-breaking defeat to Fiji. England, now under the leadership of Steve Borthwick, is in a precarious position, with their campaign potentially on the brink of an early exit if they lose to Argentina. The piece reflects on England's recent poor performance, their historical struggles against Argentina, and the pressure on key players like Owen Farrell and George Ford to step up. It also touches on Argentina's confidence boost from their victory over England in November 2022, and the tactical insights from both teams' coaches, with Argentina's Michael Cheika expressing a focus on their own game plan rather than exploiting England's weaknesses. The article underscores the critical nature of this match for England's World Cup aspirations.
