Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi stormed out of his press conference after their 31-24 defeat to England.
Contepomi was speaking to the media following the loss in Santiago del Estero, but became frustrated at the music and noise coming from the England dressing room.
It was widely reported the Argentina coach became frustrated after asking for the music to stop.
He then abruptly walked out of his press conference and accused England of a ‘lack of respect’.
The music did eventually stop, but Contepomi had already left his press conference.
England vs Argentina result
The press conference came after a thrilling clash between England and Argentina – just days after the two nations faced each other at the World Cup.
This time England got their revenge in a match that saw eight tries and seven yellow cards.
Argentina saw an 83rd minute try disallowed that, if converted, would have seen the match end in a draw.
Borthwick said: “I’m delighted for the players. They showed incredible spirit, led brilliantly by Jamie George
“Matches between England and Argentina, whatever the sport, seem to end up being very tight late on and full of drama,
“It’s almost unfair to pull out one example but Henry Slade’s tackle at the end was incredible.
“It shows the fight that’s in this group of players, as well as their togetherness and connection.

“Right now these players deserve a fantastic holiday, a good night out tonight (Saturday) and a good rest.
“They’ve worked hard and it’s been a season that’s been going a while.
“We all know about the number of minutes the English players play and these guys have stuck it right to the very end.”
England had four players sent to the sin-bin in Jack van Poortvliet, Alex Coles, Henry Pollock and Emmanuel Iyogun.
At one point they were down to 13 men.
Borthwick said: “I don’t think now is the time to be digging into that.
“This team has done really, really well. It was a tough Test match, a fantastic Test match, we scored some wonderful tries and as ever you guys concentrate on the negativity.
“You’re like the negativity committee so it’s lovely coming and talking to you again.”
