History of rugby union matches between Argentina and England
The national rugby union teams of England and Argentina (Los Pumas) have been playing each other since 1978. The status of the first match is ambiguous, as Argentina awarded Test caps to its players but England did not. They have met in 16 matches recognised by both sides as Tests. The first match was on 30 May 1981 and was a 19-19 draw. The 1982 war between Britain and Argentina meant that their next encounter was not until 1990.
Including the 1978 game, Argentina have played England 17 times with England winning 11, Argentina 4 and 2 draws.
