• Hit on stooping Owen Farrell deemed a sending-off offence• May, Daly, Youngs, Ford, Nowell and Cowan-Dickie score tries
England are safely into the knockout stages of the Rugby
World Cup with a game to spare after a six-try victory over a 14-man Argentina. The Pumas had the lock Tomás Lavanini sent off in the first quarter for a high tackle on Owen Farrell and their opponents took full advantage to book a guaranteed spot in the last eight.
They will now meet
France in Yokohama on Saturday with the winners set to finish top of Pool C and, potentially, face Australia in the quarter-finals.
England, in the meantime, will be sweating on the fitness of the No 8 Billy Vunipola, who hurt an ankle in the first half and did not reappear after half-time.
