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.

TRY! SCOTLAND 45-22 Argentina (Stuart Hogg try, 74 minutes)

Another pinpoint assist from Finn Russell!

All too easy for Scotland with Argentina really starting to fatigue. The maul constricts their defence, the end-man on the line holds slightly too wide and Russell fizzes a delectable pass for Stuart Hogg to catch and leap for the line.

Scotland 38-22 Argentina, 73 minutes

Argentina are restored to 14 and Scotland 15 as the hosts prepare for a five-metre lineout.

Scotland 38-22 Argentina, 72 minutes

Scotland fancy a couple more scores to close their 2022. Finn Russell chips ahead, but there’s nothing doing as Argentina hurry around to cover.

Back for a penalty for a tackler failing to roll away.

Scotland 38-22 Argentina, 70 minutes

That is Argentina’s hopes of victory extinguished, you’d say, but this has been a good effort since Marcos Kremer’s early sending off. Both Jamie Ritchie and Thomas Gallo remain off for the next couple of minutes.

TRY! SCOTLAND 38-22 Argentina (Cameron Redpath try, 69 minutes)

Another delicate assist from Finn Russell and Cameron Redpath has his first try for Scotland!

This really has been a masterclass of creative attacking play. An ailing Argentine defence are short in the backfield and slow off the line, granting Russell the time and space he needs to find a patch of green, gaping grass. His gruber is perfectly weighted, hopping up like an excited puppy into the onrushing Redpath’s arms.

Russell converts, too.

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 67 minutes

Argentina win a penalty but can’t find touch. Sione Tuipulotu takes advantage of some open acreage on the right and Scotland return to the Argentine 22.

[19 November 2022 16:53 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 66 minutes

Finn Russell thumps a low kick up the right, the ball trickling out of play five out from the Argentina line.

Pierre Schoeman is replaced by Jamie Bhatti.

Argentina throw the lineout accurately and clear - but Darcy Graham is in no mood to dally, tossing a quick lineout with Bhatti soon into his carrying work.

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 65 minutes

Argentina hold firm again! Zander Fagerson’s squattier frame follows Redpath’s lead in crossing the line, but there is an Argentine body beneath him.

[19 November 2022 16:50 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 64 minutes

Held up! So close for Cameron Redpath, driving close with a bish and bash but not quite delivering the requisite bosh to force the ball to floor. Scotland take a scrum option from a penalty.

YELLOW CARDS! Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 62 minutes

Yep, a card each way - Jamie Ritchie is shown yellow, and Thomas Gallo receives the same punishment.
