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 3-0 Australia, 46 mins

The lack of hooker costs Australia as they try a short one but it’s crooked. Who said lineout throwing was easy?

Ireland scrum, uncontested of course, in the 22.

Ireland 3-0 Australia, 45 mins

Australia clear but it’s a lineout midway in the Wallabies half for Ireland. This is a good platform.

Ryan claims it in the air and the maul moves towards the 22 before Ireland go down the blindside as Gibson-Park darts but Hansen has a foot in touch as he gets tackled. Poor option really.

Ireland 3-0 Australia, 44 mins

Ireland looking more explosive in attack already in this second half. Sheehan finds a neat offload out the back door and successive carries get over the gain line. Into the Aussie 22 again.

They go wide to the right and Hansen has half a yard but it’s pulled back for a knock-on from O’Mahony in contact. Scrum Australia but they’re currently hooker-less with Porecki off for a HIA and Fainga’a in the sin-bin.

It will be an uncontested scrum, although the Wallabies also have to bring on Taniela Tupou into the front row to complete it. The rules state two men have to go off, so for the next two minutes they’re actually down to 13

Ireland 3-0 Australia, 42 mins

Ireland with the ball first in this second half and they’re quickly into the Australia 22 as McCloskey wins his collision to get over the gain line.

Crowley’s inside pass almost frees Hansen but the Wallabies come up with the steal - Michael Hooper, who else, gets his hand in and pulls the ball back!

Foley spanks the ball clear up beyond halfway. That was better from Ireland even though it ended frustratingly.

KICK-OFF! Ireland 3-0 Australia

40 minutes of rugby left today. Ireland lead by three points and Australia will have about 7 minutes with 14 men after Fainga’a sin-binning.

[19 November 2022 21:05 · Luke Baker]

WATCH: Tadhg Furlong shows off his kicking skills

Not much by the way of first-half highlights. This is probably about it to be honest but who doesn’t love to see a prop kicking at least!

HALF-TIME! Ireland 3-0 Australia

Wallabies go short from the lineout, recycle the ball and White kicks the ball into the stands.

Not exactly high scoring in Dublin but Ireland do have a narrow lead and Australia have spurned so many opportunities. You’d think the Irish will come on strong in the second half.

Ireland 3-0 Australia, 39 mins

Lineout secured and the maul is on! Dan Sheehan goes for the corner but he’s millimetres short with Nic White underneaht him. Not sure how he’s stayed in there?

Ah, Gibson-Park’s foot is just in touch as he fishes the ball out. Wallabie lineout on their own five-metre line but we’re past 40 minutes, so they just need to secure this and kick it out.

Ireland 3-0 Australia, 39 mins

Nice run by O’Brien and inside pass to Hansen brings Ireland up to the Australia 22. They’ve spent just 17 seconds in there so far in the match...

Gibson-Park wins Ireland a soft penalty and they turn down the three points to kick to the corner instead and test out the 14-man Wallabies just before half-time.

YELLOW CARD! Ireland 3-0 AUSTRALIA (Fainga’a, 37 mins)

Another neck roll by Australia - Folau Fainga’a on Josh van der Flier. The ref has warned both sides about going high but again the Wallabies err and he loses patience, it’s a yellow card for the hooker.

With their other hooker, Dave Porecki, in HIA, it will be interesting to see how the visitors cope
