Emiliano Boffelli scored an 81st minute try as Argentina beat Scotland 34-31 in the third Test on Saturday to claim the series 2-1.
Boffelli succeeded with a 35th minute penalty after missing another long range effort but the visitors led 14-13 at the break. Blair Kinghorn, starting at fly-half with Finn Russell rested for the tour, added the extras to make it 7-3 after a quarter of an hour before the hosts re-took the lead. In dry conditions in northern Argentina, 27-year-old Boffelli opened the scoring with a tenth minute penalty from more than 50 metres.
Argentina completed an incredible day of Test rugby by staging a remarkable comeback and beating Scotland 34-31 with the last move of the game.
Kinghorn’s kicking put Scotland seemingly well in command, but the hosts hit back inside three minutes. With Scotland four points in front, they passed up the chance to kick a penalty and Jonny Gray was held up as he forced his way over the line following the lineout. Boffelli reduced the arrears with a penalty and Kinghorn hit the bar with a long-range penalty attempt in the final minute of the half.

“We got 15 ahead by kicking towards the corner in the first half,” he said. Scotland took control in the opening 10 minutes of the second period. Scotland had made eight changes following their second-Test victory with full-back Ollie Smith making his debut, and they finally came to life in the 13th minute.
Scotland succumbed to self-inflicted wounds after blowing a 15 point lead to Argentina in a tense and entertaining Test match in Santiago.
It was our best display of the tour, and it would have been a famous win, but the feeling now is the opposite of that. “And we had chances to be more efficient with our exiting in the last 20 minutes, so that was disappointing After a period of pressure the hosts pulled another try back through replacement scrum-half Gonzalo Bertranou sniping over from the base of a ruck. The winger had to make do instead with a 52-yard penalty a couple of minutes later following a Price offside. Scotland had two chances to finish the first half on a high. If you don’t have a good set-piece in Test rugby, and you can’t win your line-out, you are going to struggle.
Scotland let a 15-point lead and a potential series victory slip away inside the final half hour asArgentina claimed a dramatic win.
Should’ve taken the points when on offer with 10 minutes to go. Marked his 24th birthday with a typically industrious display. Some big hits with the home side threatening Scotland’s line late on. Gave away a silly penalty shortly after that led to the try for Tetaz Chaparro and unable to stop Bertranou crossing, but his mates should’ve been more switched on. Turned the tide at the set-piece after the Pumas emptied their bench. Asked to go the distance on his 50th cap. Took the game to his illustrious back-row opponents. However the lineout wobbled again. The young Glasgow man showed nice touches as he settled into his first cap, but opportunities didn’t really come his way to attack thereafter. Came off the bench in the first Test but handed a start. Another mixed bag wasn’t what the Lion was after given Ben White’s impressive showing last week. Hit a beautiful line to put Scotland on the front foot shortly after Ashman’s second try.
They can now look forward to the Rugby Championship with a degree of confidence; they host Australia in Mendoza in their opening match on August 6.
A few of our players are from here and a few of our past players.” To put Argentina’s name on that is really important for the boys. We loved winning the series, I haven’t won the series before, and the first ever Test match here at this stadium.
