England's Nations Championship clash with Argentina will now be shown live on ITV1, after ITV confirmed a change to its original broadcast schedule.
The match in Santiago del Estero had initially been earmarked for ITV4, with football's FIFA World Cup taking priority on the main channel. However, England's dramatic World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina earlier this week means ITV's planned football coverage has changed, allowing Steve Borthwick's side to return to the broadcaster's flagship channel.

The switch means England supporters won't need to move across to ITV4 as originally expected, with the match now receiving prime-time billing on ITV's main channel.
Big opportunity for England
England head into the final Test of their South American tour looking to complete a series sweep over Argentina after victories in the opening two matches.
A third consecutive win would provide another major boost for Steve Borthwick's squad ahead of the autumn programme, while also maintaining England's strong start to the inaugural Nations Championship.
