England rugby team switches Buenos Aires hotel to avoid Argentina World Cup party
England's rugby team, in Buenos Aires for a Nations Championship match against Argentina, was forced to change hotels on Sunday night to avoid potential mass celebrations if Argentina wins the World Cup. After Argentina's semi-final victory over England in football, hundreds of thousands of fans celebrated outside the team's original hotel, causing noise and disruption with fireworks and crowds. Head coach Steve Borthwick noted that earplugs were issued and players observed the spectacle. To avoid logistical issues if Argentina defeats Spain in the final, the team moved to a hotel near the airport ahead of their return home. The article also mentions an unchanged team selection and a minor incident involving player Henry Pollock taunting local fans.
