Photo: ReutersSean Maitland scored a try 15 minutes from time to earn Scotland a hard-fought 14-9 victory over a profligate Argentina at Murrayfield on Saturday and end the year on a winning note. Greg Laidlaw kicked three penalties for Scotland but Nicolas Sanchez missed four out of seven kicks for the Pumas. But straight after the break he brought parity with a successful effort only to miss another kickable opportunity soon after. Laidlaw made it three from three in the 56th minute, restoring the Scotland lead 10 minutes before Maitland's try injected some life into a subdued sellout crowd.
