Scotland vs Argentina LIVE: Rugby result and reaction as Darcy Graham gets hat-trick in feisty Scottish win

Scotland 52-29 Argentina: Darcy Graham notched a hat-trick in a bizarre game that included six cards and 12 tries

Grant Gilchrist says Scotland could beat 'any team' ahead of Autumn Nations Series

Scotland overcame remarkable Argentina resistance in winning their thrilling year-ending rugby Test 52-29 at Murrayfield.

Argentina were leading 8-7 when flanker Marcos Kremer was sent off with an hour remaining, and played with 12 men for a time in the third quarter.

Incredibly, with 12 on the field and defending a five-metre scrum, the Pumas poached dropped ball and Emiliano Boffelli, playing on his club home ground, ended up scoring between the posts at the other end and converting his try.

The Pumas trailed only 24-22 with nearly half an hour to go but it was too long to hold out. Scotland added four more tries and wing Darcy Graham got a hat-trick in their highest score against Argentina.

England 3-14 New Zealand, 37 minutes

This is probably the toughest test of Jack van Poortvliet’s young career, and the scrum-half is struggling a little. Scott Barrett has plenty of time to ready his charge down with the Leicester nine not assembling any blocking bodies, and Barrett smothers his kick.

New Zealand earn a penalty and return to the England half, from where they launch a maul.

England 3-14 New Zealand, 36 minutes

And that’s a bit of a let off for England - New Zealand fail to throw the lineout and are free kicked.

Owen Farrell kicks the free kick out up near halfway. Codie Taylor needs a new set of arrows - his latest dart drifts off line.

England’s scrum is solid, though the option to go blind rather less so. Jonny May is isolated and momentum is lost - and to make matters worse for the home side, May was up too soon to take Jack van Poortvliet’s pass. Offside penalty for New Zealand.

Ethan de Groot asks Mathieu Raynal to look more closely at Kyle Sinckler’s bind as he prepares for the next scrummaging engagement. Down it goes, and Raynal swaps sides before the reset to have a slightly more detailed look.

The All Blacks are looking pretty menacing every time they spot a sliver of open space. Their latest cross-kick lands in the hands of Rieko Ioane, who offloads to Jordie Barrett.

Barrett in turn finds Mark Telea, and Aaron Smith is there in support, too. Ioane is quickly up with him, but can’t gather a blind pop inside cleanly, Owen Farrell’s firm challenge to the centre’s ribs ensuring that the ball hits the deck. England scrum feed.

Mathieu Raynal has advice for both front rows as the scrum goes down. It works, the second attempt much more stable, allowing Billy Vunipola space to stomp up the blindside.

But the lineout throw that comes as a result of it is off-line, drifting to the England side. It is clawed back acrobatically by Sam Whitelock, but England will have the scrum. You’d question the benefit the All Blacks enjoyed from the askew nature of the throw, but it definitely wasn’t straight.

New Zealand’s stumpier forwards capitalise on the work of their tall trees by winning a scrum penalty.

England 3-14 New Zealand, 28 minutes

There’s that maul defence! Tom Curry is engulfed by Sam Whitelock and Brodie Retallick, more than 240 caps and plenty of sinewy muscle wrapping up the ball-carrier and winning turnover ball.

Disappointed oohs from the crowd as Owen Farrell fails to find touch with a penalty after Jonny May had been taken high in the tackle.

Farrell gets another go almost immediately afterwards, this time on the right after Rieko Ioane hared off too soon in pursuit of a New Zealand kick. Offside; England return to the All Blacks 22.
