Captain Owen Farrell kicked 16 points for England as they clung on to beat Argentina 26-23 on Friday to claim third place in the Rugby World Cup.

Farrell's contribution helped 2003 winners England finish third in the tournament for the first time, with champions South Africa facing New Zealand in Saturday's final, both teams eyeing a record fourth title.

"We are pleased to end with a win. We wanted to be here tomorrow night, but it is still a nice win tonight." Curry ran out on his own onto the pitch in front of 77,674 as the 25-year-old reached the half-century landmark before teammates Youngs, Danny Care and Dan Cole played their final Tests. Borthwick's team led 13-0 after 18 minutes as No 8 Ben Earl, outstanding throughout the tournament, crossed and Farrell kicked a conversion and a penalty.

Their advantage was short-lived as Carreras' clearance kick was charged down and hooker Theo Dan dived over barely 90 seconds later, and Farrell's extras restored the six-point gap.
