Scotland opened their Nations Championship campaign with an impressive seven-try win against Argentina in Cordoba.

Scores from Pierre Schoeman, Sione Tuipulotu and Rory Hutchinson gave the visitors a 19-10 lead at the interval.

Gregor Brown and Scott Cummings touched down in the second half, with debutant Gregor Hiddleston and Kyle Rowe also crossing the whitewash.

Two of Argentina's five tries came in the closing moments to earn the hosts a bonus point in a wide open encounter.

Scotland visit South Africa next Saturday, with the world champions having enjoyed a 45-21 victory over England.

Gregor Townsend's side were ruthless in attack, scoring with their first three visits to the 22, and the head coach will be delighted with a number of strong performances.

More to follow.
