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.

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

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.
