Scotland get the losing bonus point but they really need to beat England next week to qualify for the knockout stages. Argentina face Georgia in their final match
80+4'
Argentina turn the ball over and Marcelo Bosch gets it from the back of the ruck, turns and boots it out with all his force. ARGENTINA HAVE SNATCH THE WIN AND HAVE KEPT THEIR HOPES ALIVE OF QUALIFYING FOR THE QUARTER-FINAL
80+3'
Scotland are still in their own half, nearly on their own 22, but still they retain possession ...
80+1'
Scotland still have the ball but they are deep in their own half and Argentina are throwing bodies at the ball at every opportunity ...
80'
Scotland get the chance for the drop goal but it was always rushed, Parks didn't really have enough time at any point, Argentina were all over him, and Parks pulls it wide. The clock is about to turn over to 80 minutes. Argentina just need to regain possession and boot this out ...
79'
Scotland get the penalty and Parks boots upfield. It's not a great kick but Gonzalez fumbles the ball and it'll be a Scotland lineout on the 5 metre line. This is Scotland's last chance ...
78'
Brown is not in a good way, he clearly doesn't know where he is, but he is at least walking off the pitch. It'll be a Scottish scrum ...
77'
Kelly Brown goes up for a high ball and there is a clash of heads, after Brown has missed it, between him and Julio Farias Cabello. Play will have to be stopped. Brown looks to be in real trouble but Cabello is at least moving his legs
76'
Scotland in possession. They will be going to the drop goal as soon as they can, surely? They are edging their way forward and have nearly made the 10m line in Argentine territory ...

CONVERSION ARGENTINA! 13-12! Fantastic kick from Contepomi as he curls the ball just inside the left upright to put Argentina one point in front with six minutes remaining on the clock

TRY ARGENTINA! 11-12! A TRY IS EXACTLY WHAT ARGENTINA HAVE GOT! Lucas Gonzalez breaks after a pass Contepomi right from the re-start. He skips through three tackles and runs periously close to the right wing but stays in and crosses over.

DROP GOAL SCOTLAND! 6-12! Parks, with his second kick of the game, stretches Scotland's lead to six points with a perfect drop goal! Argentina need a try now.
71'
Fantastic kick from subsitute Parks, with his first kick of the game. It'll be a lineout on the five metre line for Scotland and they could end this match right now ...
68'
Contepomi looks as though he has pulled the ball wide. It straightens at the last minut but not quite enough as the ball bounces off the outside of the left upright and fails to go over. Scotland escape and this is going to be a frantic final 10 minutes
67'
Barclay fails to release Manuel Carizza as an urgent Argentina look for something special. Contepomi could level this up once again ...

DROP GOAL SCOTLAND! 6-9! JACKSON LANDS THE DROP GOAL! Argentina are no-where to be seen as Jackson has plenty of time to land the drop goal, turning away as soon as he struck it. He knew it was over and sure enough Scotland take the three point lead once more

PENALTY ARGENTINA! 6-6! This time Contepomi does land the kick. It was from roughly the same spot as the last but closer to the posts and Argentina are level
64'
Scotland's front line are penalised at the scrum yet again, for pulling it down, and Contepomi will have a chance to make amends ...
61'
Argentina will have a chance to level the scores as Scotland are penalised for offside. Contepomi goes for the kick from the 10m line but he pulls his kick wide of the left upright across the front of goal
57'
Paterson is the latest to attempt the drop goal as Argentina fail to close him down. It's a decent attempt but he doesn't execute it right and pulls the ball wide. It'll be a 22 drop out for Argentina ...
