Russell and Hogg both rested from the tour.

Based on that Scotland by only 30.

If Argentina can field their best XV then a narrow win for Las Pumas

[Stargazer]

[Bovidae]

Creevy is 37 so I had assumed he had retired from the Pumas.

[MN5]

Woohoo Argentina complete the Southern Hemisphere clean sweep with a 26-18 win.

Aw hang on, I’m part Scottish.

Fuck

[MiketheSnow]

Was boring as fuck on highlights

God help those who were there

Scotland looked bereft

The rucks were scrappy as which made it a tough watch. Both halves combinations I thought struggled to control the game. Argies combo only slightly less frantic.

That Saffa winger for the Scots, van der Merwe is a quality player, but is on the end of a funky aligned backline. They rarely created space for him or the other outsides.

I thought Gonzalez Samso played pretty well for the Argies.

@ACT-Crusader for a bloke with 12 kids, I have no idea how you manage to consume so much sport!!!

Union, Nba, league, junior stuff, NBL, 3rd world rugby...how do you do it???

Watched some of game, did anyone else notice that there no scoreboard? Refs had to go to TV on sideline for referrals, and Nic Berry had to actually ask the TMO for score not long before end of game.
