    This is what happens when you get in the face of the Argentinians.

    You know you're getting into their head when they start to behave like that.

    Argentina 10-19 Scotland

    Oh it's kicked off a bit here! It always seems to between these two teams.

    Rory Darge was involved, as was Sione Tuipulotu, and - as usual - Zander Fagerson piles in for some Zandbags!

    It all ends in a Scotland penalty. Can they inflict more damage before half-time?

    Argentina’s scrum comes under pressure again. One of the nation’s traditional weapons has arguably become a weakness in recent times.

    How early in the second half will Felipe Contepomi turn to his young replacement props, Boris Wenger and Tomás Rapetti?

    They may only have a handful of caps between them, but they are very highly thought of in this part of the world.

    Scotland get back into the 22m, and leave with points once more!

    Sione Tuipulotu crashes through the Argentine defence like a wrecking ball and his teammates pick up the mantle, with Hutchinson spearing over from close range.

    Tom Jordan misses from the tee... but the referee gives him another go, as Argentina charge it early. At the second time of asking, he slots it.

    Argentina 10-12 Scotland

    Scotland have been really accurate with their defence up until now.

    Argentina have made the decision to kick the points which shows they don't have confidence in their line-outs and set pieces because Scotland are defending it so well.

    Tomas Albarnoz

    Not a good few moments for Scotland. Kyle Rowe kicks a ball straight out and then they concede a penalty just inside their own half.

    Argentine fly-half Albornoz steps up and slots it, halting Scotland's momentum and narrowing the gap.

    Felipe Contepomi will want to get Gonzalo García back on as quickly as possible. Moyano is a talented player but has been used sparingly by club side Western Force and doesn’t have much international experience.

    He hasn’t played more than 30 minutes in any match for nearly a year.

    Argentina 7-12 Scotland

    Scotland break down the left and again it's Kyle Rowe who scurries away from his opposite man.

    He feeds it to Jamie Dobie outside him, who tries the kick ahead on the inside channel, but there's too much sauce on it and the ball goes dead.

    Pierre Schoeman

    It's a quickfire double and Scotland are ahead!

    It all comes from the linebreak of Kyle Rowe, who hares down the left and puts Scotland deep into Argentina territory.

    Flying onto the ball is Schoeman and on his 50th appearance, he celebrates with a try.

    The conversion is missed, but the good news is Tom Jordan is back on.

    It was the footwork from Rory Hutchinson, and the ability to spread that pass, which is why he's going to be so key in that position.

    It's looking good, I'm feeling confident now.

    Sione Tuipulotu

    Scotland hit back through the captain, and it's an assist from the heavens from Rory Hutchinson!

    The visitors were building through the phases well and got down into the Argentina 22m for the first time.

    Just when it seemed the momentum was fading, Hutchinson stepped inside one and somehow managed to hurl the ball out to Tuipulotu on the wing.

    Burke nails the kick from out wide. Parity restored.

    We've got another injury now. Argentine scrum-half Gonzalo Garcia has blood spurting from a cut around his eye.

    Agustin Moyano is the blood sub. They're dropping like flies out there.

    If Tom Jordan’s game is over, he won’t be able to emulate his namesake, Joe, who scored the opening goal in the first ever international football match in this stadium in 1978.

    Unfortunately for Scotland, they lost 3-1 to Peru that night.

    It is an HIA for Tom Jordan. It remains to be seen if we see him again.

    Elliot Millar Mills is similarly gubbed. The tighthead looks in real pain as he hobbles from the field.

    It's going to be a 67-minute shift for Zander Fagerson.

    It looks as though the stadium is more than half full which, given how many Argentines have travelled north for the World Cup, is no mean feat. The Pumas fans are enjoying their team's strong start.

    Certainly, you won’t get many more popular try scorers than Joaquin Oviedo. The all-action number eight is one of seven ‘Cordobeses’ in the squad tonight.

    Argentina 7-0 Scotland

    Scotland get hands on the ball for the first time, but Kyle Rowe concedes a penalty as he holds on in the ruck.

    Argentina play it quickly, kicking down the pitch and putting Fergus Burke under pressure. He concedes the turnover and Argentina try and get in the corner again, but Santiago Carreras spills.

    A let off for Scotland, who haven't gotten out of the sheds yet.

    Argentina, in this area of the pitch, are so dangerous but it's poor defending.

    Oviedo just runs through the middle of the maul. Scotland will be really disappointed with that, it's poor, poor defending.

    I've never seen a try like that.

    The Argentina maul rolls on and the big number eight bursts over from close range!

    One of several players born and raised in Cordoba, he's clearly delighted with a homecoming try.

    A brilliant start from the Argentinians. How can Scotland respond?

    That's not a good early sign. Tom Jordan is off, with Fergus Burke on. We're assuming that's an HIA, but we'll let you know more when we have it.

    Even worse, it's an Argentina penalty in Scotland's red-ball zone. They go to the corner.

    A good, solid, defensive start.

    I thought there were a couple of times Scotland got their hands on the ball but didn't get a fair crack from the referee
