England opened their South American tour in the same vein as they left Twickenham with a convincing win.
It did not start their way, as the Consur took the lead 7-0 with a penalty try. Foden tied it up on twenty minutes and then
Billy Vunipola scored three tries in six minutes and England were off and running eventually racking up a comfortable win 21-41. So a good warm-up for the two tests to come against Argentina. This will not be full on as the Pumas are saving their best for the Championship which comes later in the year against Australia, new Zealand and South Africa. Great that both England and Argentine will therefore blood new prospects who will be around for the World Cup in 2015.
Next up Argentina on the 8 June with Kick-off on Saturday night UK time and live on BBC Two from 20:00.
