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, 20 mins

Tom Wright jinks his way between a couple of defenders to take the Wallabies into enemy territory. But again, the Aussies turn the ball over and Ireland can exit, which they do through Gibson-Park’s box kick.

But Caelan Doris is offside in front of the kick and the Wallabies will take a shot at the posts.

Ireland 3-0 Australia, 18 mins

Again a scrappy lineout but it falls the Australian way and they are just outside the Irish 22 but White knocks on in contact to give Ireland the scrum.

It’s been messy round the breakdown so far. In fact, this game has been pretty scrappy in general.

Ireland 3-0 Australia, 16 mins

O’Mahony pinged for a high cleanout and Australia have a platform in Irish territory.

Ireland 3-0 Australia, 14 mins

Should have mentioned earlier but Jordan Petaia is on in the centres for Australia after Hunter Paisami took a knock in the early going and couldn’t recover.

Clever kick over the head of Tom White by Gibson-Park pins the Wallabies back and gives them a lineout 10 metres from their own line. It’s not clean but the knock-on comes from an Irish arm, so now it’s a scrum for the visitors.

Ireland 3-0 Australia, 11 mins

Ireland cough up the kick-off but Australia immediately pinged again for a neck roll at the ruck just outside the Irish 22. Their discipline has been pretty poor on this tour and it’s already costing them again.

Ireland relieve the pressure with a kick to touch and have the lineout in Australian territory

PENALTY! IRELAND 3-0 Australia (Crowley, 9 mins)

This time the pressure tells for Ireland as Stuart McCloskey makes a big carry and Australia are pinged at the breakdown just outside the 22. A kickable penalty for Jack Crowley, right of centre - can he knock over a nerve-settler?

Yes he can! Slotted with minimal fuss and Ireland lead. That will do wonders for the youngster’s confidence you’d think.

Ireland 0-0 Australia, 7 mins

Nice sidestep by Beirne makes a few yards and Ireland then enter the Aussie 22 for the first time as Crowley has a dart.

Great turnover by Michael Hooper on the deck! He nicks the ball cleanly and Australia can clear. Not a great kick, meaning Jimmy O’Brien can run it back into the Wallabies half and Mack Hansen then makes good ground down the right wing but his grubber through is collected. Australia clear up towards halfway

Ireland 0-0 Australia, 5 mins

Better from Ireland as they exchange kicks with Australia and then Tadhg Beirne gets over the ball brilliantly at the ruck to win a penalty just inside the opposition half.

Crowley kicks for the corner but it’s not a great kick - he only makes limited ground, not even into the 22, although it is an Ireland lineout at least

NO TRY! Ireland 0-0 Australia, 4 mins

Australia opt to tap and go from the penalty. Good defence from Ireland initially although decent carries by Slipper and Valentini.

And then Nic White slides though a hole and dives over for a try! What a start by the Wallabies.

Ah, but after a TMO check, it’s a neck roll at the ruck by the Wallabies on Josh van der Flier and the try is chalked off. A let-off for Ireland

[19 November 2022 20:07 · Luke Baker]

Ireland 0-0 Australia, 3 mins

The Wallabies win the penalty off the scrum and this is a strong start for the visitors.

Some news on Johnny Sexton’s injury, which is the big news so far. He suffered a calf injury in the warm-up and was forced to withdraw ahead of kick-off. What a huge chance for Jack Crowley at No 10. An incredible talent but limited international experience - he’ll relish this opportunity.

The back-up fly-half slot has never really been solidified for Ireland. Joey Carbery has shown flashes but is now injured, so Jack Crowley - let’s see what you can do.
