Pumas Claw Back to Beat Scotland with Second-Half Romp
- On Sunday, Argentina Pumas stunned the Scotland national team 33-24 at Murrayfield, overturning a 21-0 deficit in the greatest comeback in Pumas history.
- Coaching changes followed an error-strewn first half as Contepomi sent on five replacements after the 46th, amid Argentina's mistakes making a comeback necessary.
- In a 22-minute burst, Argentina scored five tries, with Pedro Rubiolo in the 70th, Pablo Matera tying it in the 75th, and Justo Piccardo finishing the comeback.
- The defeat compounded Scotland's recent disappointments as the Scotland national team suffered a second straight heartbreaking result a week ago against the New Zealand team, while Felipe Contepomi vented frustration after Argentina's first Murrayfield win in 16 years.
- Disciplinary moments shaped the closing stages as Juan Cruz Mallia was yellow-carded, Gerónimo Prisciantelli failed to find touch, and Santiago Grondona was hit head-high but only penalized.
