Marcus Smith scored for England in the live Nations Championship rugby match against Argentina, diving over in the right corner after being put away by a long pass from van Poortvliet.
The try came in a game that had already become stop-start and tense. At 50 mins., van Poortvliet was shown a very obvious yellow card for slapping the ball forward one handed, leaving England to manage a tricky spell before Smith's score arrived at 62 mins.
Turning points in a narrow contest
The momentum continued to shift after Pollock entered the match from the bench at 57 mins. By 60 mins., Oviedo was sent off after a TMO review found a croc roll, adding another major decision to a match already shaped by discipline and review.
England then made the most of the next opening. van Poortvliet spun a long pass to Smith, and Marcus Smith finished well in the right corner to add a decisive moment to the contest.
Argentina still looked for ways back into the game. At 66 mins., they were awarded a penalty for side entry from Pollock, and two minutes later Albornoz sent a high ball from the lineout, although it was too deep and allowed Feyi-Waboso to mark it in the 22.
Did Marcus Smith score against Argentina? Yes. In a match full of cards, TMO checks and fast-changing field position, Smith's finish was one of the clearest scoring moments of the live England-Argentina update.
