Steve Borthwick's side have been forced into a late change in a three-week intinerary that has taken them from Johannesburg to Liverpool to Buenos Aires and beyond England's rugby players have switched hotels in Buenos Aires to avoid their return home being wrecked by World Cup celebrations should Argentina's football team beat Spain in Sunday's final. Steve Borthwick's team play Argentina in their final match of the summer on Saturday (20:10 BST) in Santiago del Estero, 600 miles north-west of the capital.

The team have been staying in a hotel off Plaza de la Republica – the square which, with the city's famous Obelisk monument at its centre, has attracted huge crowds in the aftermath of Argentina's World Cup matches. An estimated five million people took to the city's streets to celebrate the team's World Cup victory in Qatar four years ago, and thousands partied deep into the night on Wednesday to mark a 2-1 semi-final win over England. The square outside England's team hotel was a focal point for celebrations after Argentina's win in football's World Cup semi-finals Borthwick's side, who watched the game in a conference room in their hotel, will now instead stay in a hotel near Buenos Aires international airport on the southern outskirts on Sunday night.
