Well Andy Murray won so it's not all bad!

Fagerson is struggling!

The whole team look flat. Except Bradbury. He's playing well

Aye his side of the scrum is collapsing a lot.

We haven't been able to build any momentum because we keep losing the ball in contact, or dropping it, or making some other daft unforced error. We need to cut that out if we're going to see any decent rugby breaking out here!

Restarts again, surprise surprise

Got to laugh at the backs trying to pretend to have a bit of a scrap!

Laidlaw's passing continues to be awful

Oh for gods sake this is getting stupid

Yay. If in doubt Hogg, just try to tackle with your face

Hogg just hurt his Lions chances. Absolutely HAVE to make that tackle.

Great Wilson is on for Bradbury

Why take Bradbury off???

This is bonkers

Presumably for his experience of keeping cool under pressure....

Huge Ones with some more individual magic. What a player

Sean maitland is due huw jones a pint

Maitland scored a try!!

Great work Huw Jones!

Laidlaw is losing his cool badly, calm down man

Oh great. Here comes Horne.

Congrats on the win Argentina.

Why has Jones now been taken off??

I think he injured himself setting up the try. Noone in their right mind would tactically sub him for Horne at this stage....

He was struggling after the try, guess he's injured

Jones off??? He must be injured because that makes no sense otherwise.

Wish to hell Bennett was on the bench.

Anyone heard the commentator say Gilchrist's name once?

holy balls that scrum is impressive

Scrum annihilated

George Carlin wrote:Anyone heard the commentator say Gilchrist's name once?

He's done OK to be fair - a few decent carries and he's made his tackles

Argentina coming over all Scottish at the restart. Need points here

What in the blue hell was gilchrist doing there

Great work Hamish Watson to make those extra yards

This has all the makings of a classic Scottish loss in the final minutes

I do not understand why we're keeping it in the forwards.

Every time Hogg touches the ball he looks dangerous.

The strength is our back - why aren't we using them?

Man of the match for me is tim visser. He's done nothing wrong today

Too slow Laidlaw, Argentina are tired we need to play with pace now!

We look knackered

Hoog isn't dangerous. He's the only one who has crabbed more than laidlaw

Don't.

At least Gilchrist is off.

Watson has had a big game

And frankly that was pish from Russel

Couldn't have had an easier chance Finn!!

Ahhhh that's why we didn't go for the DG last week

Draw?

Nah we'll lose

Hamish Watson again - motm!

Wouldn't argue with that myself

Squeaky bum time

Watson motm in my opinion

Watson or gray for motm I say

Thats so very very very not good enough!!

That was do badly done!!!

Finn Russel. Dire. Far too close. Far too slow. He simply doesn't have the composure in tight games
