Full-time: Argentina 21-15 Scotland, Rosario

606: DEBATE Your views on Argentina v Scotland

By Pranav Soneji

2157: So it's defeat number seven for Scotland at the hands of the Pumas, but there are plenty of positives for Frank Hadden and the players to take from that game for next week's Test. Thanks for your patience while I struggled with my technological demons - the evil had its way and denied me of any sort of footage. Anyways, adios amigos y vamos la semana que viene...

FULL-TIME: ARGENTINA 21-15 SCOTLAND

80 mins: TRY - Argentina 21-15 Scotland
Simon Webster keeps the ball alive as the clock ticks past 80 minutes, but Argentina steal the ball and up steps Gonzalo Tiesi and the London Irish man charges over for a try, a demoralising blow for such a spirited Scotland performance. Todeschini misses the extras, not that coach Santiago Phelan or his players will give two Tangos.

78 mins: Top defence from Argentina, putting in the big hits and Scotland knock on at the worst possible time, giving the Pumas the put in at the scrum.

76 mins: Scotland pour players forward searching for the score that would surely clinch the match. Scrum-half Rory Lawson, on for captain Mike Blair, is orchestrating the push.

74 mins: Penalty - Argentina 16-15 Scotland
Referee Alan Lewis pings Scott McLeod for offside, giving Todeschini a penalty 35m in front of the posts and the fly-half slots the kick over, bringing the subdued crowd to life.

72 mins: Argentina camp themselves on Scotland's 40m line, but no gaps have appear in the Scotland backline.

69 mins: The Scotland line-out has been in excellent touch in Rosario, stealing at least three Argentine throws. However, the home side claim this particular line inside their own half.

67 mins: A burst from Gonzalo Tiesi brings the crowd to their feet, with the Pumas forwards continuing the centre's charge for the Scottish line. Scotland are dishing out the desperate defence manual to anyone in blue (are Scotland wearing blue?)

64 mins: Some hardcore tackling from both sides sees plenty of big hits in midfield, but neither side can create the telling pass or kick to carve open the other's defence.

56 mins: Penalty - Argentina 13-15 Scotland
Referee Lewis has been blowing his whistle like a four-year-old, this time pinging Chris Paterson for not releasing in the tackle. Up steps Todeschini for his second successful penalty of the afternoon.

54 mins: Dan Parks attempts a massive kick from a penalty, but can't find the accuracy to give Scotland an eight-point lead.

50 mins: Chris Paterson makes a brilliant tackle to deny Bernardo Stortoni a try. Referee Alan Lewis goes to the television match official, who confirms the Argentine full-back was bundled out of touch before he touched the ball down. Great defending from Paterson.

47 mins: Penalty - Argentina 10-15 Scotland
Another Argentine infringement sees Paterson stepping up and striking yet another three points. This is looking very promising for the tourists.

42 mins: Penalty - Argentina 10-12 Scotland
Fantastic start for Scotland sees flanker Alasdair Strokosch force Argentine to concede a penalty at the breakdown and up steps Chris Paterson to sink the ball straight through the posts.

41 mins: Dan Parks gets things under way in the second half.

"I have been impressed with Scotland, only a silly mistake allowed the try and apart from that we have looked the better team. Get rid of the silly mistakes and we can win it. Amazingly we have looked dangerous on the attack (never though I'd say that). If they can get a good team talk and sort out the few errors that they are having we will win this."

Thanks to GK, who tells me Dan Parks attempted a drop-goal not a penalty. GK is watching the game and, as you've probably noticed, I'm still not.

HALF-TIME: ARGENTINA 10-9 SCOTLAND

40 mins: Dan Parks attempts a drop-goal from the halfway line, but his kick just evades the posts. Referee Lewis blows up for half-time.

38 mins: Scotland are penalised for an offence at the breakdown, handing Federico Todeschini the perfect opportunity to give the home side a four-point lead at the interval. But the Montpellier man - playing in his home city, which is hosting a rugby international for the first time - misses the kick, much to Scotland's relief.

35 mins: It had to happen sooner or later - Chris Paterson has missed a kick at the sticks. So the record stands at 36, which is still pretty impressive.

24 minutes: PEN - Argentina 10-9 Scotland
Argentina are pinged for not releasing in the tackle 10 metres into their half, with Irish referee Alan Lewis is particularly sharp on that infringement tonight. Up steps Paterson - the man with a right foot more reliable than an entire German building firm and up comes number 36.

"For the intrepid recapper - the stadium name translates as 'Great [or Giant] Stadium of the Little Brook' which might make a little more sense to you. Vamos Las Pumas!"

24 minutes: PEN - Argentina 10-6 Scotland
Scotland hit back almost immediately when the Argentine forwards infringe, with the ever reliant Paterson - who nails his 35th consecutive kick at the posts.

22 minutes: TRY - Argentina 10-3 Scotland
The Argentines pound the Scotland tryline, with captain Felipe Contepomi going close, but debutant Alvaro Tejeda bundles the ball over for a dream start to his international career. Todeschini adds the extras via a post.

19 minutes: PEN - Argentina 3-3 Scotland
Fly-half Federico Todeschini kicks Argentina's first points, while Chris Paterson adds Scotland's three points after three minutes.

2029: Still missing the pictures, but will keep you updated via the dulcet tones of BBC Scotland's Sportsround.

2013: Sorry folks, major technical problems - we don't actually have a live feed of the game at the moment. We're raising all sorts of hell to ensure it will be on our screens as soon as. In the meantime why not listen to the live commentary from BBC Radio Scotland.

2004: So will it be a triple whammy for the northern hemisphere teams against their southern counterparts? I have my thoughts, but optimistic Scotland fans may have umbrage with them, so I'll keep 'em to myself.

2001: Los Pumas can no longer call on the canny wiles of scrum-half Agustin Pichot, who retired after leading his country to third in last year's World Cup in France. However, Argentina have a more than adequate replacement in Leinster's Felipe Contepomi.

A quick reminder of the two teams:

Argentina: Bernardo Stortoni; Jose Maria Nunez Piossek, Gonzalo Tiesi, Felipe Contepomi, Tomas De Vedia; Federico Todeschini, Nicolas Vergallo; Marcos Ayerza, Alvaro Tejeda, Santiago Gonzalez Bonorino, Ignacio Fernandez Lobbe, Esteban Lozada, Martin Durand, Juan Fernandez Lobbe, Juan Manuel Leguizamon.
Replacements: P Gambarini, J Gomez, J Stuart, A Campos, A Lalanne, S Fernandez, H Senillosa.

Scotland: Chris Paterson (Edinburgh); Simon Danielli (Ulster), Ben Cairns (Edinburgh), Graeme Morrison (Glasgow Warriors), Thom Evans (Glasgow Warriors); Dan Parks (Glasgow Warriors), Mike Blair (Edinburgh, capt); Allan Jacobsen (Edinburgh), Ross Ford (Edinburgh), Euan Murray (Northampton Saints), Matt Mustchin (Edinburgh), Scott MacLeod (Llanelli Scarlets), Alasdair Strokosch (Gloucester), Johnnie Beattie (Glasgow Warriors), Allister Hogg (Edinburgh).
Replacements: Dougie Hall (Glasgow Warriors), Alasdair Dickinson (Gloucester), Alastair Kellock (Glasgow Warriors), Kelly Brown (Glasgow Warriors), Rory Lawson (Gloucester), Phil Godman (Edinburgh), Simon Webster (Edinburgh).

"Parks will only prove to be a major weak point in team AGAIN as he has constantly throughout his 40-odd caps. That's right, 40+ caps! Scandalous."

1953: Hadden has named three new caps in his starting XV - second row Matt Mustchin, centre Ben Cairns, both from and winger Thom Evans. His opposite number, Santiago Phelan, who takes charge of his first international match since succeeding the freshly axed Leicester coach Marcelo Loffreda, bloods hooker Alvaro Tejeda for his first Test.

Bit of chat about Mustchin, the New Zealand-born Edinburgh lock only just qualified to play for Scotland through the IRB's three-year residency requirement before they flew out to Argentina. Hadden is a fan of his "abrasive qualities". No idea either.

1945: Evening all, or buenos noches todos, bienviendos. Scotland have travelled to South America hoping to end their Argentina hoodoo - Frank Hadden's team have not won against the Pumas in their last six meetings, including last year's painful World Cup quarter-final loss.

Rosario is home to the Stadio Gigante de Arroyito which, by my translation, means Stadium of the Giant Little Stream, which doesn't quite sound grammatically correct. The city is 170 miles north west of Buenos Aires and is also home of one of my favourite-sounding football teams ever, Newell's Old Boys. However, contrary to internet rumours, the city is not named after former Nottingham Forest and Norwich striker Robert Rosario.
