TRY! SCOTLAND 19-8 Argentina (Darcy Graham attempt, 28 minutes)
Finn Russell is producing a scintillating opening half-hour, arms on the ball on a regular basis and Argentina struggling to familiarize yourself with him. This time he makes a clear break, Scottish help speeding by to useful resource the ruck.
It must be a simple, sure rating on the proper, however Chris Harris fancies a visit meat service provider, threatening to butcher it by hanging on with two unmarked males exterior him. Thankfully for the centre, Scotland regenerate possession and Darcy Graham knifes over.

Scotland 14-8 Argentina, 26 minutes
Off they go once more! Russell and Van der Merwe mix as soon as extra, fly-half to wing with the chipped cross-kick. Van der Merwe meanders hither and thither earlier than creating his personal gap, delivering his explicit model of highly effective punishment.

TRY! SCOTLAND 14-8 Argentina (Duhan van der Merwe attempt, 25 minutes)
And Finn Russell is the magician to seek out them!

Benefit Scotland, then, as they launch one other assault from simply exterior the Argentine 22. There’ll certainly be areas…

RED CARD! Marcos Kremer is shipped off! Scotland 7-8 Argentina, 22 minutes
Sure, this isn’t good from Kremer. There’s a swinging arm making direct contact to the top of Jamie Ritchie, and there’s little in the best way of mitigation when it comes to late motion.
RED CARD! Karl Dickson is for certain, and rightly so – Kremer appeared to know he had accomplished unsuitable as he tumbled away from the breakdown, and Argentina will play the rest shorn of their flanker.

Scotland 7-8 Argentina, 22 minutes
Almost excellent from Argentina! They earn a penalty benefit on the scrum after which set to work on the proper, one other sensible use of the boot to prod into area past the entrance line of defense.
Juan Cruz Mallia collects and manages to get his cross inside, however the subsequent kick onwards is smothered by the Scottish backfield, ending the possibility.
Hold on – the TMO desires to test a clearout from Marcos Kremer, which on first view didn’t look notably aesthetically pleasing…

Sharp from Finn Russell to arrange the centre, who completed beautifully.

Scotland 7-8 Argentina, 20 minutes
Up into double figures for the part rely as each props are employed for a lumber. Ali Value snipes however meets a few burly forwards.
Fraser Brown’s effort is extra muscular, and Jonny Grey’s, too. Endurance wanted for Scotland…
Turnover! 20 phases and at last the assault is kaput, Pablo Matera timing his breakdown pilfer completely after Grant Gilchrist had been turtled. Argentina kick away.
