Argentina beat Scotland after stunning fightback
Argentina staged an astonishing rally as they came from 21-0 behind to beat Scotland 33-24 in an Autumn Nations Series rugby international at Murrayfield on Sunday.
Scotland led 14-0 at half-time and that became 21-0 early in the second half when hooker Ewan Ashman scored the second of his two tries.
But Argentina responded with five tries in the final 23 minutes of the match as skipper Julian Montoya, Rodrigo Isgro, Pedro Rubiolo, Pablo Matera and Justo Piccardo all crossed Scotland's line, with replacement Santiago Carreras kicking four conversions.
"We fell asleep at the wheel," Scotland captain Sione Tuipulotu told TNT Sports. "It's not good enough.
"We started really well, getting a lot of purchase through the middle. It's going to be a painful couple of days."
