England face Argentina at Twickenham today - not a statement that could have been made with confidence when Clive Woodward's men walked out en masse last Tuesday.
Fortunately for the visiting Pumas within 24 hours `peace' in the form of an acceptable offer from the Rugby Football Union (RFU) had broken out.
On the pitch England have taken a step forward by including Iain Balshaw in their starting line-up for the first time He was the super-sub whose kick ahead set up Dan Luger's winning score in last Saturday's late late 22-19 win over Australia.
Balshaw, who might have expected to be on the wing, replaces Bath colleague Matt Perry at full-back.
Balshaw is one of five changes made by England manager Clive Woodward.
Ben Cohen, missing from the Australian clash because of the death of his father, returns on the wing in place of Austin Healey, whose missed tackle on Joe Roff paved the way for Australia's lone try.
Mark Regan comes in for the injured Phil Greening at hooker, Matt Dawson replaces Kyran Bracken at scrum-half in a premeditated switch by Woodward, and Julian White comes in for the rested Phil Vickery at prop.
Dawson's inclusion despite being one of the strike leaders suggests Woodward is not one for bearing grudges.
"I was always going to play Matt against Argentina. Then it will be another close call as to who plays against South Africa."
Argentina will prove difficult opponents even though many England fans will be grateful that their team are not facing the Springboks after a week of such strife.
Hooker Federico Mendez, well-known in England from his time with Northampton and for laying out then England lock Paul Ackford with a superb punch at Twickenham in 1990, is one of the toughest front-row forwards in rugby.
Props Robero Grau and Onmar Hassan will certainly give England prop Jason Leonard something to think about on his 86th Test appearance - an England record.
Agustin Pichot, one of three Bristol players in the starting XV, is a talented sniper from the scrum while outside half Gonzalo Quesada, if not in the Hugo Porta class yet, certainly proved his worth with the boot during the last World Cup.
A 37-33 reverse against the Springboks means Argentina should not be taken lightly by England.
