 Argentina beat England 25-18 at Twickenham in 2006
|
England are likely to play one of their two Tests against Argentina next June at home, but away from Twickenham.
Both Tests were scheduled to be played in Argentina, but the Argentina Rugby Union has asked to hold the first in England for financial reasons.
The Rugby Football Union is keen to help and is currently evaluating the stadium options for such a match.
Any changes to the tour schedule must first be approved by the International Rugby Board.
RFU chief executive Francis Baron said: "Argentina feel that playing one of their two Tests against England in England would generate urgently needed funds to invest in their squads - in particular for the A team who are due to take part in the Churchill Cup at the same time.
"We are keen to assist Argentina and will take the opportunity of playing the match away from Twickenham to aid rugby development in the regions."
