England were the first of the Home Nations to tour Argentina, and to take advantage of the recent International Board (IB) ruling that full caps could be awarded for matches against non-IB countries. England had intended to tour Argentina in 1973, but that was cancelled following terrorist threats and the side went to Fiji and New Zealand instead.
