Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi accused England of showing a lack of respect after his side's 31-24 defeat in the Nations Championship, walking out of his post-match press conference over the celebrations coming from the visitors' dressing room.
Contepomi said the loud music and celebrations from the England camp, located next to the media room, disrupted his press conference. He revealed that he had asked an England representative to lower the noise but was left frustrated by the response.
The Pumas were left heartbroken after a dramatic finish in Santiago del Estero, where a potential late try was ruled out by the Television Match Official, denying Argentina a chance to snatch victory in the closing moments.
England dominated the opening half, racing into a 19-3 lead before Argentina mounted a spirited comeback after the break.
The visitors' discipline came under scrutiny as four England players were shown yellow cards in the second half, prompting former England scrum-half Matt Dawson to describe their conduct as "verging on comical."
The result came just days after Argentina defeated England 2-1 in the FIFA World Cup semi-finals, adding another layer of rivalry between the two nations.
England currently sit third in the Northern Hemisphere standings of the Nations Championship. The competition will resume on November 6, with the finals scheduled for November 28 and 29.
