Scotland 41 Argentina 31: Scots start autumn internationals with win

Brothers Richie and Jonny Gray scored for Scotland as the Dark Blues got their World Cup preparations off to the perfect start with a 41-31 win over Argentina at Murrayfield.

Vern Cotter’s first home match in charge ended with fives scores as Sean Maitland, Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour also crossed over, with skipper Greig Laidlaw kicking 18 points on top of a late Duncan Weir penalty.

The Argentines had got off to a rapid start, scoring through Javier Ortega Desio after just 90 seconds.

They struggled to breakthrough until the last hour but put a gloss on their scoreline with the help of a penalty try and a late double by replacement number nine Tomas Cubelli.
