Elsewhere, there is a first England appearance since the Six Nations for Kyle Sinckler at tighthead prop while Luke Cowan-Dickie has recovered from a knee injury to start at hooker and Ellie Genge continues at loosehead and as one of two vice-captains. Coles has been impressing Jones in training this week and the 23-year-old comes into the second row for a debut. Itoje joins Curry and Billy Vunipola in the back row.
Ben Youngs has got the nod at scrumhalf ahead of his Leicester teammate Jack van Poortvliet, while Jack Nowell is named on the wing and as a second vice-captain. Joe Cokanasiga returns to the side, having been dropped after the first Test of the summer’s Australia tour, while Freddie Steward is at fullback. David Ribbans is in line for a debut after being named on the bench alongside Mako Vunipola, Jack Singleton, Joe Heyes, Jack Willis, Sam Simmonds, Van Poortvliet and Henry Slade.
“It’s been a really good week of preparation and I’ve been very pleased with the squad’s attitude,” said Jones. “They’ve shown real work ethic and a determination to improve and our leaders, Owen, Ellis and Jack, have really lifted the team. We’re looking forward to a great game of rugby at a full Twickenham Stadium against a very good Argentina side. It’s been a tough time for rugby lately and we hope that these autumn games show just what a special game it is.
