    FT: Argentina 6-29 Scotland

    Scotland needed a reaction today, and they certainly got one.

    We'll be back next Saturday for the series decider - see you then!

  2. 'Great for our supporters' - Townsendpublished at 22:22 BST 9 July 2022

    FT: Argentina 6-29 Scotland

    Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has also been talking to Sky Sports, starting with what impressed him most:

    "How we started the second half, we really took the ball to them, and some of the running lines were superb. A real credit to our team.

    "There's a lot of togetherness in the squad - they're a group that cares about each other and cares about playing for their country. We can still improve though.

    "It'll be great for our supporters - that's who we play for. I thought our pack were fantastic, the back-row in particular. It'a a good foundation to build on for next week.

    "Kyle Rowe on his first cap to pick up a serious injury, I really feel for him. You could see how much it meant to him when he found out he was going to play today. Rory Hutchinson will be a doubt for next week too."

    FT: Argentina 6-29 Scotland

    You'd have had decent odds on a Northern hemisphere clean sweep yesterday, but here we are.

    What a day of rugby!

  4. 'We won't get ahead of ourselves'published at 22:04 BST 9 July 2022

    FT: Argentina 6-29 Scotland

    Scotland captain Grant Gilchrist has been giving his thoughts to Sky Sports post-match:

    "Really proud of the boys", he said, "but we won't get ahead of ourselves.

    "There's a lot of growth left in this team, and we'll need that next week - we want to win the series.

    "We felt we were the fitter team and that showed in the second half.

    [On Hamish Watson and Rory Darge]: "They're pretty good aren't they! Hamish Watson showed that he's world-class on his 50th cap."

    Perfect reaction. The message must have been to be more direct in the second half. Hopefully that'll give us a boost ahead of next week.

    Argentina 6-29 Scotland

    Rory Darge and Hamish Watson get over the ball at the breakdown to win Scotland a penalty - those two have been immense.

    That is that in Salta - we have ourselves a decider next week!

    Scotland have given a reaction that will really please Gregor Townsend.

    Argentina 6-29 Scotland

    Argentina are fighting to the end here, but they cannot find a way through Scotland's defence.

    Emiliano Boffelli gets over the line on this occasion, but Mark Bennett strips the ball and then Matias Orlando knocks-on.

    More superb last-ditch defence.

    Scotland win another penalty at scrum time!

    Plenty of back-slapping, and Rory Darge stands triumphant with his arms raised.

    Argentina 6-29 Scotland

    The home crowd roar their heroes on, but referee Mathieu Raynal thinks Scotland have held Argentina up.

    Agustin Creevy reckons he's scored, but the TMO can find no evidence to support the home prop's claim.

    Another 5m scrum for the hosts coming up...

    Argentina 6-29 Scotland

    Argentina look poised to hit back, but a wonderful tackle from Blair Kinghorn takes Juan Imhoff by the ankles, and then the hosts knock-on on the floor.

    Solid in defence.

    Sam Johnson

    A brilliant line from Sam Johnson surely wraps up this Test for Scotland!

    Matt Fagerson's strong carry gets Scotland on the front foot, before Sam Johnson comes flying onto Ali Price's flat pass.

    The Glasgow centre crashes through the Pumas line to score under the posts.

    It is Argentina's indiscipline letting them down now.

    Scotland kick yet another penalty into the corner...

    Argentina 6-22 Scotland

    Argentina have a 5m scrum of their own, but Mathieu Raynal awards Scotland a penalty.

    Ali Price, on at scrum-half, jumps up and down with delight.

    Argentina 6-22 Scotland

    Santiago Carreras has been impressive again for Argentina, and he looks odds-on to score here, but Rory Darge knocks the ball from his grasp with the try-line calling.

    Brilliant last-ditch defence.

    Matt Fagerson

    The 14 men have no answer to Scotland's forward power!

    Glasgow's number eight picks-and-goes and blasts his way over just to the left of the posts - this second half has been so much better.

  19. Sin-bin Emiliano Boffellipublished at 52 mins

    Argentina 6-15 Scotland

    Pierre Schoeman is held up over the line, so Scotland now have a 5m scrum.

    Emiliano Boffelli has been shown a yellow card for deliberately slowing down the ball.

    Argentina 6-15 Scotland

    A wonderful sniping run from Darcy Graham takes Scotland to within 5m of the Argentina line...

    Massive chance here.
