Denny scores match winner as Curry stars for England

SALE Sharks’ Denny Solomona had an England debut to remember as he scored a last-minute try to secure a dramatic 38-34 win over Argentina.

And head coach Eddie Jones was also full of praise for another debutant from Sale, Tom Curry who at 18 years and 360 days the youngest to start for England since 1927.

“I thought it was an incredible game of rugby,” Jones said. “I thought for our guys to win that was a tremendous effort.

“In the end I think we had 10 new caps on there and to show poise and stick to what we needed to do in the circumstances was an unbelievable effort from the young guys.

Fly-half George Ford contributed 23 points with a try and seven goals from eight attempts while Solomona’s late heroics helped make up for a couple of defensive blunders that played a part in Argentina scoring two tries in three minutes to opening up an eight-point lead.

“Denny made two horrendous errors in defence but got one back. He is going to be doing some defensive work next week,” added Jones. “If you see him tackling tackle bags in the streets of Buenos Aires you know why.”

Jones added: “I thought young Curry did well. He made some errors but got on with it.

“That was the good thing – they just got on with the next thing.”

England will fly back to Buenos Aires to prepare for the second Test in Sante Fe next Saturday.
