Today was just the third match between two Tier 1 nations to see one side fail to score in the first half, before going on to score 30+ points in the second half, after England v Ireland in 1988 (0-3 / 35-3) and Australia v New Zealand in 2022 (0-17 / 37-39 at FT).

FT: Scotland 24-33 Argentina
Gregor Townsend says individual errors cost Scotland dear.
"I thought on a couple of occasions, we showed good composure, but you need to do it every time because we are playing against a top team," the head coach tells BBC Scotland.
"After the first five minutes of the second half, it wasn't good enough.
"We know Argentina are a quality side and we built that lead with a good amount of effort and skill, but we needed to see it home and score more points in the second half.
"But we were on the back foot for too long and the discipline, which was mainly about our offsides, gave them field position and opportunities and, in the second half, they took them.
"Credit to Argentina, they put us under pressure and deserved to win in that final quarter."

FT: Scotland 24-33 Argentina
That reckless pass from Finn Russell, picked off by Isgro, was the turning point. Argentina then stormed 80 yards to score almost straight away. From there, Scotland just fell apart. Could not hold onto the game after that mistake - utterly frustrating!

21-0 up then Russell throws that horrible pass in the Argentine 22 and that cost us a yellow card and three tries. Deserved to be booed at the end.
