Scotland v Argentina Match Reports
Scotland completed their autumn campaign with a 52-29 victory over Argentina in a fast-paced and often bad-tempered match at BT Murrayfield. Scotland scored eight tries in total, with Darcy Graham claiming a hat-trick and Sione Tuipulotu a brace. Argentina were reduced to 14 men in the 23rd minute when Marcos Kremer was sent off for a dangerous clearout. Despite being a man down, the Pumas were only four points adrift at half-time. Tempers flared in the second half as five yellow cards were handed out – three for Argentina and two for Scotland – which ultimately benefitted the home side as their dominance grew, leading to a big win.
