The European Commission yesterday adopted new exemptions to its Batteries Regulation that free the Apple Watch and AirPods from having to offer user-removable and replaceable batteries.
[โฆ]
The reasoning largely mirrors why devices like electric toothbrushes were already exempt: Opening a compact, sealed enclosure and failing to reseal it properly could let water in and create a safety risk. Products can also qualify for exemption if their construction makes battery removal inherently dangerous, or if there is no realistic way to build in user access given current manufacturing methods.
[โฆ]
The iPhone was already exempt from the removability rule under the original regulation, thanks to its battery cycle life and water resistance rating.
This is one of those exceedingly rare cases where EU legislation has produced an unambiguously good outcome: from February 2027, Logitechโs European wireless devices will ship with hard-pack, user-replaceable batteries, and Logitech will sell certified replacements.
Os novos dobrรกveis chegam meses antes de a Apple alegadamente adentrar nesse segmento do mercado com o famigerado โiPhone Ultraโ โ logo, as apostas da gigante sul-coreana baterรฃo de frente com o futuro dispositivo da Maรงรฃ.
Sem mais delongas, vamos conferir os detalhes de cada anรบncio abaixo!
Galaxy Z Fold8
Divulgaรงรฃo/Samsung
Agora que os dobrรกveis da Samsung possuem trรชs variantes, o Z Fold tradicional passou por um reposicionamento, tornando-se talvez a adiรงรฃo mais diferente dentre toda a linha de novos produtos anunciados.
Seu grande destaque รฉ a reformulaรงรฃo no design, adotando um formato que se convencionou chamar de โpassaporteโ, com uma proporรงรฃo maior do que aquilo que foi estabelecido nas รบltimas geraรงรตes do dobrรกvel principal da Samsung. Isso resultou em uma tela externa de 5,5 polegadas e aspect ratio de 10:16, alรฉm de uma principal de 7,6โณ e proporรงรฃo de 4:3 โ especificaรงรตes bem semelhantes ao que se especula sobre o โiPhone Ultraโ โ, ambas com taxas de atualizaรงรฃo de atรฉ 120Hz.
A sul-coreana destacou ainda o peso do modelo, sendo o celular dobrรกvel mais leve jรก lanรงado por ela atรฉ agora (201 gramas, para ser exato).
Uma das principais diferenรงas do modelo em relaรงรฃo ao Z Fold8 Ultra estรก nas cรขmeras: o modelo padrรฃo conta apenas com duas lentes traseiras (um sensor principal e uma lente ultra-angular, ambos com 50 megapixels), alรฉm dos 200mAh de diferenรงa na bateria (4.800mAh no caso do Z Fold8 e 5.000mAh no caso do Z Fold8 Ultra). A linha tambรฉm marca a estreia das baterias de silรญcio-carbono nos celulares da fabricante.
Quanto ao restante das suas especificaรงรตes tรฉcnicas, destaca-se pela implementaรงรฃo da tecnologia Flex Titanium โ baseada em alumรญnio โ para a resistรชncia da tela, a presenรงa do chip Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, opรงรตes a partir de 12GB de memรณria e 256GB de armazenamento (atรฉ 1TB), resistรชncia IP48 contra รกgua e poeira, alรฉm de suporte ao carregamento de 45W com fio e 15W sem fio. Assim como os demais aparelhos, ele chega com o Android 17 e a One UI 9.
Nos Estados Unidos, ele chega a partir de US$1.900 (US$200 a menos que o Z Fold8 Ultra e US$100 a menos que o Z Fold7) nas cores preta, branca, lavanda e verde pistache (esta รบltima exclusiva para compra no site oficial da Samsung).
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra
Divulgaรงรฃo/Samsung
Para os entusiastas do tradicional formato dos dobrรกveis da Samsung, a melhor opรงรฃo รฉ o modelo Ultra. Ele conta com as mesmas 8โณ na tela principal e 6,5โณ na tela externa do Z Fold7, com aspect ratios de 3:2 e 21:9, respectivamente.
Outra diferenรงa notรกvel em relaรงรฃo ao modelo menor รฉ a presenรงa da lente teleobjetiva de 10MP, aos moldes da presente no Z Fold7.
Como citado anteriormente, o aparelho conta com uma bateria de 5.000mAh de silรญcio-carbono, alรฉm de compartilhar o Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, as mesmas opรงรตes de memรณria/armazenamento, a resistรชncia IP48 e o suporte aos 45W de carregamento com fio e 15W sem fio do Z Fold8.
Um de seus maiores destaques (nesse caso, negativo) รฉ o preรงo: US$2.100 โ um aumento em comparaรงรฃo ao modelo equivalente da geraรงรฃo passada (vale lembrar, o Z Fold7 chegou por US$2.000 lรก fora). Ele estรก disponรญvel nas cores preta, branca, roxo escuro e verde escuro (esta รบltima exclusiva para compra no site oficial da Samsung).
Galaxy Z Flip8
Divulgaรงรฃo/Samsung
Modelo mais bรกsico da nova linha, o Z Flip8 se destaca pela reduรงรฃo na espessura (13,1mm dobrado contra os 13,7mm do antecessor) e no peso (188g contra 180g do Z Flip7), possibilitando o que a Samsung chama de โuma experiรชncia cotidiana sem vincoโ.
Ele conta com uma tela interna de 6,9โณ, enquanto a externa tem 4,1โณ, com proporรงรตes de 22:9 e 1:1, respectivamente, e suporte a taxas de atualizaรงรฃo de 120Hz em ambas. O aparelho chega com um conjunto duplo de cรขmeras, sendo a lente principal de 50MP, um sensor ultra-angular de 12MP e cรขmera frontal de 10MP.
Ele chega com o processador Exynos 2600, resistรชncia IP48, 12GB de memรณria e opรงรตes de armazenamento de 256GB e 512GB. Em termos de bateria e recarga, o componente de silรญcio-carbono possui uma capacidade de 4.300mAh, carregamento de atรฉ 25W por fio e 15W sem fio.
O Z Flip8 custa US$1.200 (um aumento de US$100 em relaรงรฃo ao Z Flip7) e estรก disponรญvel nas cores azul, preta, vermelha coral e menta (esta รบltima exclusiva para compra no site oficial da Samsung).
Galaxy Watch9 e Ultra2
Ambos os modelos ganharam suporte ao recurso โlevante para falarโ, que aciona de imediato o Gemini do Google sem a necessidade de toque ou botรฃo. Os dois relรณgios contam com o Wear OS 7 e a One UI 9 Watch, compatรญveis com smartphones que possuam Android 13 ou superior.
Divulgaรงรฃo/Samsung
Com especificaรงรตes e design um tanto semelhantes ao seu antecessor, as grandes novidades do Galaxy Watch9 incluem a ampliaรงรฃo de bateria (o modelo de 40mm ganhou um aumento de quase 20%, com 390mAh, enquanto a versรฃo de 44mm possui 445hmAh), a pulseira com design Air Pocket (atรฉ 25% mais leve que a presente no Watch8) e a estreia do processador Snapdragon Wear Elite.
Ele continua com as opรงรตes de 2GB de memรณria e 32GB de armazenamento e estรก disponรญvel em caixas de 40mm e 44mm, nas cores preto e creme, custando a partir de US$380 (um aumento de US$30 em relaรงรฃo ao Watch8).
Jรก o Galaxy Watch Ultra2 adota uma reformulaรงรฃo na identidade visual que o aproxima do restante da linha, sendo atรฉ 12% mais fino que o seu antecessor, mantendo a bateria de 800mAh. A tela tambรฉm ganhou melhorias, contando com 5.000 nits de brilho mรกximo.
Para experiรชncias aquรกticas, o Ultra2 atende o padrรฃo EN13319 para mergulho e possui certificaรงรฃo IP69K. Alรฉm disso, o app Marz deverรก receber suporte ร metrificaรงรฃo de velocidades e orientaรงรตes de descompressรฃo.
Disponรญvel nas cores titรขnio preto e titรขnio prata, o modelo estรก disponรญvel a partir de US$700, um aumento de US$50 em relaรงรฃo ร primeira geraรงรฃo.
Inteligรชncia artificial
Durante o evento, a Samsung reforรงou sua ciรชncia e presenรงa quanto ร s IAs agรชnticas, expandindo a experiรชncia para alรฉm das telas dos smartphones e passando a oferecer assistรชncia contรญnua de IA em tempo real nos dispositivos do seu ecossistema; o foco da Samsung รฉ a entrega da experiรชncia hands-free (ou seja, mรฃos livres). Ela afirmou ainda que essa integraรงรฃo contarรก com mecanismos de proteรงรฃo e seguranรงa, embora nรฃo tenha adentrado em detalhes tรฉcnicos de como farรก isso.
A empresa tambรฉm mencionou a integraรงรฃo de dados biomรฉtricos coletados pelos Galaxy Watch ao fluxo de trabalho mรฉdico, focada na prevenรงรฃo de riscos de saรบde com o auxรญlio da inteligรชncia artificial (IA), permitindo a sugestรฃo de refeiรงรตes e treinos adaptados com base em interpretaรงรตes de biossinais.
Preรงo e disponibilidade
Os novos smartphones chegarรฃo ao Brasil no dia 6 de agosto, mas ainda nรฃo tiveram seus preรงos divulgados; ainda assim, a Samsung jรก antecipou que a aquisiรงรฃo de algum dos dispositivos durante a prรฉ-venda garantirรก atรฉ seis meses de Google AI Pro sem custos adicionais.

Ao que tudo indica, a disputa judicial entre a Apple e a Masimo nos Estados Unidos estรก prestes a ter um desfecho โ e ele serรก bem menos amargo para a Maรงรฃ do que a fabricante de tecnologias mรฉdicas pretendia inicialmente com o processo.
Segundo uma reportagem do Law360, o juiz federal James V. Selna negou um recurso da Apple que pretendia anular a decisรฃo anterior do jรบri sobre o caso ou, alternativamente, realizar um novo julgamento.
Para conseguir a anulaรงรฃo, a Apple argumentava que o jรบri interpretou errado o termo โpatient monitorโ, presente na patente da Masimo, e que o Apple Watch nรฃo deveria ser enquadrado nessa definiรงรฃo protegida pela patente.
O desfecho mais recente representa uma derrota para a Apple, uma vez que, teoricamente, a empresa nรฃo pode mais recorrer da decisรฃo โ veremos, porรฉm, se a companhia conseguirรก encontrar uma brecha para contornar isso.
Jรก compartilhamos muitos casos de vidas que foram salvas com a ajuda do Apple Watch, mas a maioria deles parte de relatos feitos pelos protagonistas (ou terceiros) nas redes sociais ou para publicaรงรตes jornalรญsticas.
Desta vez, a prรณpria Apple publicou em seu canal no YouTube o relato de um homem chamado Phil, que contou em um vรญdeo de pouco mais de meio minuto como o recurso SOS de Emergรชncia do relรณgio salvou a sua vida.
Ele relatou estar pedalando em uma trilha com seus filhos pequenos quando calculou mal um salto e sofreu um acidente que o deixou desacordado โ o que fez o Apple Watch detectar a queda e ligar imediatamente para a emergรชncia.
โSรณ agradeรงo muito por estar usando o meu Apple Watchโ, disse Phil, que foi resgatado pelos bombeiros e ficou internado por uma semana apรณs quebrar a clavรญcula e sete costelas por causa do acidente.

De acordo com informaรงรตes da Bloomberg, a Apple lanรงarรก na prรณxima semana o โApple Upgradeโ, um serviรงo de assinatura que incluirรก iPhones, iPads, Macs e atรฉ mesmo Apple Watches.
Desenvolvida em parceria com a empresa financeira Klarna Group Plc, a iniciativa serรก disponibilizada primeiro apenas nos Estados Unidos โ tanto em lojas fรญsicas da Maรงรฃ quanto na Apple Store Online.
Assim como outros programas do tipo, o โApple Upgradeโ permitirรก que os usuรกrios quitem o dispositivo antecipadamente durante o contrato, faรงam um upgrade para um modelo mais recente antes do fim da assinatura ou fiquem com o aparelho ao final do perรญodo de locaรงรฃo. Ainda segundo as informaรงรตes, รฉ possรญvel que taxas adicionais sejam cobradas em casos especรญficos.
Mais precisamente, aluguรฉis de iPhones e Apple Watches terรฃo uma duraรงรฃo de 24 meses, enquanto Macs e iPads poderรฃo ser usados por 36 meses. Sujeito a uma anรกlise de crรฉdito antes da contrataรงรฃo do serviรงo, o usuรกrio sempre poderรก devolver o seu aparelho ao final do perรญodo de locaรงรฃo.
A Bloomberg disse ainda que o plano da Maรงรฃ รฉ divulgar o โApple Upgradeโ como uma forma de realizar pagamentos menores do que os oferecidos por programas de financiamento tradicionais. Alรฉm disso, ela estaria se preparando para descontinuar o iPhone Upgrade Program e a modalidade de financiamento tradicional para abrir espaรงo para a nova oferta.
Ao contrรกrio do iPhone Upgrade Program, no entanto, o โApple Upgradeโ nรฃo incluirรก o AppleCare; dispositivos de entrada โ como o Apple Watch SE 3, o iPad (A16 Bionic), o iPhone 16 e o MacBook Neo โ nรฃo estarรฃo disponรญveis no novo programa; por fim, usuรกrios corporativos e estudantes tambรฉm ficarรฃo de fora da brincadeira.
Rumorado hรก alguns anos โ e supostamente cancelado internamente pela companhia no final de 2024 โ o โApple Upgradeโ chegarรก pouco tempo depois de a Apple aumentar os preรงos de vรกrios de seus produtos em decorrรชncia da crise de DRAM 1Dynamic random access memory, ou memรณria dinรขmica de acesso aleatรณrio., provocada pela alta demanda por chips de memรณria no mercado de inteligรชncia artificial.

Existe uma opรงรฃo para ativar ou desativar o recurso Assistรชncia ao Wi-Fi para cada rede Wi-Fi conectada, independentemente de a funรงรฃo geral estar ativada ou nรฃo.
Ainda durante o ciclo da terceira beta, outro destaque vai para a possibilidade de a Siri AI obter informaรงรตes de aplicativos de terceiros โ algo que, por ora, parece se restringir a informar o nรญvel de bateria de veรญculos elรฉtricos.
O app Traduzir (Translate), por sua vez, tambรฉm suportarรก os idiomas/dialetos portuguรชs (Portugal), dinamarquรชs, malaio, norueguรชs bokmรฅl, sueco, cantonรชs (chinรชs tradicional) e espanhol (Mรฉxico e Estados Unidos).
Alรฉm disso, uma nova (e bem bonita) animaรงรฃo ao estilo Liquid Glass para o รญcone de bateria fraca aparece quando o iPhone estรก prestes a โmorrerโ.

Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch SE 3.
Global shipments of Edge AI-capable smartwatches experienced robust growth in the first quarter of 2026, with Apple maintaining overwhelming dominance in the emerging category of on-device AI wearables. According to Counterpoint Research, the Apple Watch accounted for the vast majority of these AI-enabled shipments, highlighting the companyโs lead in integrating advanced intelligence directly into its devices.
Edge AI Reaches 25% Market Penetration with Strong Growth
Counterpoint Research reported that global Edge AI-capable smartwatch shipments grew by 70% year-over-year in Q1 2026, achieving a market penetration of 25%. One in every four smartwatches shipped during the quarter now features Edge AI capabilities, enabling local machine learning inference for improved speed, privacy, and efficiency.
Apple solely accounted for ~90% of Edge AI smartwatch shipments in Q1 2026. This dominance stems from its custom Neural Engine technology, which powers seamless on-device features such as Siri intent recognition, high-frequency sleep apnea monitoring, and advanced gesture detection without cloud dependency.
Health Monitoring Features Accelerate
The adoption of Edge AI aligns with rapid growth in advanced health capabilities. Shipments of smartwatches with blood pressure monitoring doubled, while those with sleep apnea detection tripled between Q1 2025 and Q1 2026. Key penetration shifts include:
โขย Blood pressure monitoring: rose from 11% to 23% of shipments
โขย Sleep apnea detection: increased from 5% to 18%
โขย ECG: grew from 31% to 34%
These developments reflect a broader industry move toward clinically relevant, real-time health insights powered by on-device AI.
Appleโs Overall Market Performance
Appleโs shipments grew 21% year-over-year, securing a 23% share of the total global smartwatch market. Counterpoint Principal Analyst Anshika Jain said in a statement: โApple captured the highest shipment share and was the strongest performer in the quarter, helped by its refreshed lineup, meaningful health upgrades and the more affordable Apple Watch SE 3.โ
Counterpointโs Research Director Mohit Agrawal commented on the transition in Edge AI, โEdge AI in smartwatches is shifting from primarily a hardware integration to one that also includes software optimization. The real unlock is smaller, more efficient models and OS-level access that lets any app run inference locally. AI needs to turn from a single application into a personal layer that works on personal data. This enables instant health alerts, gesture control, and richer personalized experiences, and that is why Edge AI penetration is set to approach 32% in 2026.โ
MacDailyNews Take: Counterpoint expects Edge AI penetration in smartwatches to near 32% by the end of 2026. As the category evolves from basic tracking to intelligent, personalized health and interaction tools, Appleโs integration of hardware, software, and privacy-focused AI continues to give it a substantial edge in the competitive wearable market.

Kylian Mbappe is set to face Real Madrid team-mate Jude Bellingham as France take on England in the FIFA World Cup 2026 third place play-off in Miami โ and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
Les Bleus were many people's favourites to win the tournament, but a deeply disappointing 2-0 defeat by Spain in the semi-finals ended their hopes of lifting the World Cup for a third time. While a bronze medal would feel like scant consolation, France will nonetheless be motivated to triumph. Manager Didier Deschamps ends a hugely successful 14-year spell in charge of Les Bleus after this game and he will be keen to finish on a high, while captain Mbappe heads into the last weekend of the tournament level on eight goals with Lionel Messi in the race for the Golden Boot.
England's semi-final defeat was even more crushing than their opponents', as they conceded twice late on to lose 2-1 to bitter rivals Argentina. It means the Three Lions' years of hurt will stretch beyond 60 after they fell short yet again, having reached at least the semi-finals in four of the past five major tournaments. England beat Norway in Miami in the quarter-finals seven days ago, and if they triumph here again it would represent their best showing at a World Cup other than when they lifted the trophy in 1966, having lost their previous two third-place games in 1990 and 2018.
So, read on as we show you exactly how to watch France vs England for free from anywhere in the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Sleep tracking on Apple Watch can make an invisible part of daily health easier to understand. Each morning, the watch may show sleep duration, stages, interruptions, overnight vitals and a score intended to summarize the night.
That information can be useful. It can also create a new habit of judging the entire day before getting out of bed.
One low score may make a person feel tired before noticing how they actually feel. A few minutes less deep sleep can become a source of concern. Going to bed can even start to feel like a test that must be passed rather than a normal biological process.
Apple Watch sleep data works better as a long-term observation tool than as a nightly verdict. The goal is not to collect perfect scores. It is to notice repeatable patterns and make small changes when those patterns match real-life problems.
What Apple Watch Measures During Sleep
Apple Watch estimates sleep using movement and signals collected while it is worn overnight. Depending on the model and available features, the Health and Sleep apps can show total sleep time, awake periods and estimates for core, deep and REM sleep.
The watch may also collect sleeping heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature and other overnight metrics. The Vitals app compares several of these measurements with the userโs established typical range.
A sleep score compresses parts of the night into one number or category. Appleโs score considers factors including sleep duration, consistency and time spent awake. That makes it convenient, but convenience should not be confused with a complete medical interpretation.
The watch cannot know whether a stressful conversation kept someone awake, whether a child interrupted the night or whether the wearer woke feeling unexpectedly refreshed after fewer hours. It estimates physiological and behavioral signals. The person still supplies the context.
Sleep Tracking Apple Watch Data Works Best as a Trend
One night can be distorted by almost anything: travel, alcohol, illness, noise, a late meal, room temperature or a loose watch band. Even the position of the arm can affect sensor collection.
A weekly or monthly view is more useful because it reduces the influence of isolated nights. Patterns begin to emerge around bedtime consistency, total duration and changes in overnight vitals.
To review longer sleep trends on iPhone:
Health > Search > Sleep > select the weekly, monthly or six-month view
Look first at sleep duration and timing. These measurements are generally easier to interpret than small changes in individual sleep stages.
A person who repeatedly sleeps less on work nights may have a scheduling issue. Someone whose sleep becomes more fragmented after late caffeine may have found a useful connection. A consistently irregular bedtime may explain more than whether deep sleep moved by 12 minutes on Tuesday.
The data becomes valuable when it supports an observation that can lead to a realistic adjustment.

Do Not Treat Sleep Stages as Exact Measurements
Core, deep and REM sleep are presented as distinct colored sections, which can make them appear more precise than they are. Apple Watch estimates these stages from signals available at the wrist. A clinical sleep study uses additional equipment and is designed for medical evaluation.
That does not make the stage information worthless. It means small nightly differences should not be overinterpreted.
A person does not need to increase deep sleep manually or achieve a perfect proportion of REM sleep. Sleep architecture changes naturally across age, stress levels, exercise, illness and different parts of the night.
Use stage data to notice substantial or persistent changes, not to compete with yesterdayโs chart. Spending 15 minutes less in one estimated stage is not automatically a health problem.
Start With How You Feel
Before opening the Sleep app, notice how the morning feels.
Was waking difficult? Is concentration normal? Is there unusual daytime sleepiness? Does the body feel recovered after exercise? Was the night interrupted for an obvious reason?
This brief self-check prevents the score from defining the experience. Someone may feel fine after a lower-rated night, while another person may feel exhausted despite receiving a favorable score.
The most useful interpretation combines both sources: subjective experience and device data. When they repeatedly agree, the pattern deserves attention. When they conflict for one night, there may be no reason to react.
Use Vitals as Context, Not a Diagnosis
The Vitals app can show whether overnight measurements such as heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature and sleep duration fall within a typical range. It becomes more useful after the watch has collected enough nights to establish a personal baseline.
An outlier may reflect alcohol, medication, elevation, intense training or the beginning of an illness. It may also be an ordinary variation or imperfect reading.
Several unusual metrics appearing together may provide more context than one isolated number. Even then, Apple Watch data should not be used to diagnose a condition independently.
Persistent symptoms, breathing concerns, extreme daytime sleepiness or major changes in sleep should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional. Bring the trend data if it helps describe what has been happening, but do not let the watch replace an evaluation.
Build a Routine Around Behavior, Not Scores
The healthiest use of sleep tracking is to connect the data with actions a person can actually control.
A consistent bedtime may improve the pattern. Charging the watch before the evening makes tracking more reliable. Reducing late caffeine, adjusting the bedroom temperature or moving an intense workout earlier may also produce noticeable changes.
To set a sleep schedule:
Health > Search > Sleep > Full Schedule & Options > Add Schedule
A schedule can provide Wind Down reminders and help keep bedtime more regular. It should remain a helpful structure rather than a rigid obligation. Life will occasionally interrupt it.
Choose one adjustment and observe it for a week or two. Changing five habits after one poor night makes it difficult to identify what helped.

When Sleep Tracking Creates More Stress
Some people become preoccupied with improving sleep data, repeatedly checking results or worrying that a low score guarantees a bad day. The anxiety can itself make falling asleep more difficult.
That is a sign to reduce exposure to the numbers.
Sleep tracking can be turned off temporarily, or the data can be reviewed only once per week. Another option is to avoid checking the score in the morning and examine trends at a neutral time later.
To change sleep tracking settings:
Watch app on iPhone > My Watch > Sleep
A break does not erase the knowledge already gained. A person who has learned that regular timing and less late caffeine improve sleep may no longer need a daily chart to confirm it.
The device should support rest, not supervise it.
A Better Way to Read the Morning Report
A practical morning review can remain simple. Check whether the watch recorded the full night. Notice total duration. Consider whether the bedtime was typical. Look for any major change in overnight vitals, then move on.
There is rarely a need to analyze every stage, compare several apps or search for explanations after one ordinary variation.
Sleep tracking on Apple Watch is most useful when it reveals something that was difficult to see without data: a repeated shortfall in duration, an inconsistent schedule or a pattern linked to habits and recovery.
The score can summarize one night, but it cannot grade the person who slept through it. A healthier measure is whether the information helps create calmer nights, better days and fewer reasons to think about the watch after waking.
Argentina vs England kick-off: Saturday, July 11 at 3.10pm ET / 8.10pm BST / 5.10am AEST (Sun)
The England vs Argentina game in midweek featured a few challenges that wouldn't have looked out of place on a rugby pitch, but after a feisty taster, it's now time for the main event. Both sides lost their Nations Championship 2026 opener before roaring back last weekend to set up a mouthwatering showdown in Santiago del Estero.
Such is the strength of feeling between these two nations that Steve Borthwick's men have made an effort to keep as low a profile as possible in Argentina this week. Quite how that's possible with Henry Pollock in the group deserves an explanation that may prove every bit as fascinating as the game itself.
The divisive flanker came off the bench to score a hat-trick in an 8โ73 victory over an abysmal Fiji last weekend, but Borthwick still doesn't trust the 21-year-old enough to throw him in from the start. He's named an unchanged XV, which means Fin Smith and Jack van Poortvliet start in the halves, with Marcus Smith at full-back.
Justo Piccardo, Marcos Kremer and Santiago Carreras crossed the whitewash for Los Pumas and Joaquin Oviedo scored a brace in a five-try thrashing of Wales. It was the perfect response from Felipe Contepomi's men, who had previously gone down to Scotland in disappointing fashion. Carreras will be a threat with his link-up play at Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario.
