Rugby: Sean Maitland scores only try as Scotland beat Argentina

  • 25/11/2018

Sean Maitland has scored a try 15 minutes from time to earn Scotland a hard- fought 14-9 victory over a profligate Argentina at Murrayfield and end the year on a winning note.   

The winger was sent over on the blind side by Stuart Hogg after a smart piece of thinking that brought to life a dour tussle on Sunday (NZ time).

Greg Laidlaw kicked three penalties for Scotland but Nicolas Sanchez miss four out of seven kicks for the Pumas.             

The Scots have won 11 of their last 13 home fixtures.

Scotland were 6-3 ahead at halftime as Argentina suffered a fifth successive test defeat which has included losses in Ireland and France during their November tour programme.      

For Scotland it was a second victory in four internationals this month, having beaten Fiji but losing away
