JERSEY’s Matt Banahan has kept his place in the England rugby union team to play Argentina at Twickenham on Saturday.

Banahan (22) played on the win in England’s 18-9 defeat to Australia at Twickenham last weekend in the first of the Autumn Internationals and clearly did enough in that match for England coach Martin Johnson, who has picked the Bath winger again.

Johnson has made four changes for Saturday’s Investec Challenge showdown with Argentina, one as a result of injury to David Wilson in the match against Australia and the other three because of England’s generally poor performance.
