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.

Ireland 10-10 Australia, 75 mins

Penalty to Ireland after an infringement at the scrum. This is a tricky kick, out on the right-hand side on the ten-metre line but Ross Byrne is going to go for the posts...

Ireland 10-10 Australia, 73 mins

Australia stick up a high ball and Wright knocks on while competing in the air. Ireland scrum on the right-hand side on the ten-metre line. A decent platform here.

One penalty could be the difference between the sides.

Ireland 10-10 AUSTRALIA (Petaia, 70 mins)

Ireland offside at the breakdown, free play for Australia and they take advantage!

They opt to spread the ball to the right, Nawaqanitawase carries, passes to Jordan Petaia and it’s a three on one outside, he dummies the pass and slices over the try.

Big conversion for Foley on the right and he curls it through. We’re all level at 10s!

Ireland 10-3 Australia, 69 mins

Another breakdown penalty against Ireland as Sheehan, among others, not supporting his bodyweight. A lineout on the Irish 22 for Australia.

Safely won and a big carry from Skelton into the 22 itself.

TRY! IRELAND 10-3 Australia (Aki, 66 mins)

And it’s there! Finally!

Casey opts to take the ball out of the forwards’ hands. Flat pass to Bundee Aki on the crash ball and he powers through two tacklers to get over the line by the posts. Tough to stop him from there. Simple conversion added by Crowley. Breakthrough!

Ireland 3-3 Australia, 65 mins

Lineout won and then a brilliant, barrelling carry by Doris takes them within five metres. The Aviva roar can be heard now.

Penalty coming for Ireland. Australia defending for their lives. Van der Flier carries, held up short. Sheehan has a go. Inches out now...

Ireland 3-3 Australia, 64 mins

Dominant tackle by Ireland forcing Australia back into their own 22 and Ringrose then makes a brilliant catch on the left touchline before his offload gives them good field position.

Eurgh... Another knock-on in contact so it’s an Australian scrum. Actually no! Replay spots that Ringrose was contacted in the air so it’s an Ireland penalty.

A lineout int he Australian 22. Golden opportunity. The crowd are into it now!

Ireland 3-3 Australia, 63 mins

Jimmy O’Brien spills a high ball before Ikitau tries a chip over the top which skids into touch on the Irish 22. Ikitau then has a mammoth collision with the ball-carrying Aki - hard to tell who came off better there.

Neither side looks particularly comfortable in possession, Ireland also struggling a bit under the high ball. But Skelton gets isolated on a carry and Doris gets the turnover as Skelton holds on.

That means an Irish lineout just outside the 22 but it’s lost and the Wallabies can kick clear. Scrappy, scrappy stuff.

Ireland 3-3 Australia, 59 mins

Australia reset from deep and Kellaway slides between a couple of tackles before a kick apiece ends with Keenan finding a good touch in the Australia half.

One moment of magic could decide this game as we head into the final 20 minutes. It’s been a game sorely lacking in magic so far.

[19 November 2022 21:41 · Luke Baker]

Ireland 3-3 Australia, 57 mins

Ireland give away a penalty from the kick-off as Beirne pulls down a maul. Australia set up around halfway following the lineout and Skelton keeps his legs driving on a carry to make some ground.
