Overview
- Scotland built a 21-0 lead through Jack Dempsey and two Ewan Ashman tries after Juan Cruz Mallía’s early yellow card.
- A late scratch for scrum-half Ben White due to illness pushed Jamie Dobie into the start, and he supplied both assists for Ashman.
- Momentum shifted when an ambitious Finn Russell pass was intercepted and Blair Kinghorn was sin-binned, leaving Scotland exposed.
- Argentina’s bench — the “Buen Squad” — injected tempo as Santiago Carreras steered five tries by Julián Montoya, Rodrigo Isgró, Pedro Rubiolo, Pablo Matera and Justo Piccardo.
- The home defeat drew boos and was reported to end Scotland’s hopes of a top‑six world ranking before the 3 December RWC2027 draw.
