Pumas edge past Scots to set up Boks clash

SCOTLAND’S World Cup run came to a disappointing end at the quarter-final stage as Argentina stuttered into a last-four date with South Africa with a scrappy victory in Paris last night.

Only in the last 20 minutes did the limited Scots find anything resembling an attacking edge, and it resulted in replacement scrum-half Chris Cusiter’s try just after the hour mark.

Scotland plugged away in a tense last few minutes looking for a final score as Argentina were forced to hang on after looking so comfortable for much of a low-quality affair.
