Laidlaw late show sees Scotland edge out Argentina | Bangkok Post: news


EDINBURGH - A penalty three minutes into overtime by Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw secured a dramatic last-gasp 19-16 victory against Argentina in a thrilling see-saw contest at a near-freezing Murrayfield on Saturday. Both teams managed just one try apiece – centre Matias Orlando for Argentina and wing Sean Maitland for Scotland. In all, Laidlaw kicked a conversion and four penalties, with Argentina fly-half Nicolas Sanchez landing a conversion and three penalties for the Pumas. Argentina finally got on the scoreboard two minutes before half-time, Sanchez slotting over a penalty from six metres inside his own half. After 62 minutes, Sanchez kicked his third penalty, nudging Argentina 16-13 ahead.
