Centurion George Ford leads England against Argentina with tributes ringing in his ears

• Ford: 'I haven't lost the desire'

• Ben Youngs backs Sale fly-half to break his record

George Ford described it as "another day at the office" and the great and the good of rugby smiled. Reaching a century of England caps is anything but routine, yet that ability to stay in the moment has long set him apart.

All around him people have been getting excited on his behalf, before Saturday's first Test with Argentina. Elliot Daly set aside personal disappointment at his Lions tour being cut short to hail "one of the greatest England players, without a doubt. He epitomises what a team is about".
