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.

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 62 minutes

Scotland’s drive is much stronger this time, earning a penalty, and then Darcy Graham is dragged out on the right.

Hang on - another big to do, and there might be more cards coming here.

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 61 minutes

Nicolas Sanchez is joined in making his entry by Matias Moroni; Santiago Carreras and Juan Cruz Mallia depart.

Argentina look to have ogt a nudge on at the scrum, but referee Karl Dickson calls for a reset.

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 61 minutes

Argentina make a meal of collecting Stuart Hogg’s kick back to them, and Scotland will have a scrum about seven metres out from the opposition line.

Handbags! Something has riled both sets of forwards, with Sione Tuipulotu also adding his input. Duhan van der Merwe is one of the few wings in the world who can look Lucas Paulos in the eye - the replacement Argentina lock stares back angrily.

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 60 minutes

Also readying himself for an Argentina return is Nicolas Sanchez, who has been out since the start of the Rugby Championship with a calf strain.

Ah - the visitors could have done with the veteran’s accurate boot, with their penalty failing to find touch.

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 59 minutes

Argentina win a penalty as a prone Scottish player makes a tackle on the floor. Matias Alemanno rejoins proceedings, and Tomas Lavanini is strapping his scrum cap on, too.

[19 November 2022 16:37 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 58 minutes

Scotland try another of those front-of-the-lineout moves, but Jamie Ritchie is bustled into touch.

Fraser Brown’s day is done - George Rurner replaces him. On, too, are a couple of London-based Scots - Andy Christie in the back row and Ben White at scrum-half.

Scotland 31-22 Argentina, 58 minutes

The camera pans to a rather crowded Argentina naughty step, with time left to run still on both Tomas Lavanini and Matias Alemanno’s yellow cards.

What more damage can Scotland do against Argentina’s 12 men? Finn Russell misses touch from a punted penalty, but it matters not as Santiago Carreras’ return drifts out on the full.

TRY! SCOTLAND 29-22 Argentina (Sione Tuipulotu try, 56 minutes)

And they do!

Good from Scotland, resetting immediately after that bolt from the blue from Argentina. A strong midfield carry creates a black hole into which the Argentina defence is sucked, creating room on the right for Sione Tuipulotu, who goes over.

Finn Russell converts.

[19 November 2022 16:33 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Scotland 24-22 Argentina, 54 minutes

That was all over-eager from Scotland. The spaces will surely present themselves if they are patient.

TRY! Scotland 24-22 ARGENTINA (Emiliano Boffelli try, 52 minutes)

A breakaway Argentina score out of nowhere!

My oh my. Scotland get too loose and frisky, enjoying the open spaces afforded them against Argentina’s 12 men. Jack Dempsey holds the ball above his head as he takes contact, seeking an offload to waiting teammates on the right.

But Dempsey loses grasp of the ball, and Juan Cruz Mallia is alive to it. The full-back picks up, darts free, and Boffelli is alongside him in short order to continue his prolific individual year with a canter beneath the posts. Two more points from his right boot draw Argentina even nearer.
