Pumas eyeing a tour sweep

November 18, 2025

Argentina coach Felipe Contepomi (above) was left eyeing the prospect of a first Pumas clean sweep on a UK tour following an astounding comeback win over Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday.

Scotland seemingly had the game won at 21-0 ahead approaching the final quarter after Jack Dempsey’s try was followed by two from Ewan Ashman.

But a loose pass by Scotland flyhalf Finn Russell, followed by a yellow card for Blair Kinghorn, helped turn the tide as Argentina won at Murrayfield for the first time in 16 years.

The Pumas ran in five tries in an extraordinary closing 23 minutes, captain Julian Montoya, Rodrigo Isgro, Pedro Rubiolo, Pablo Matera and Justo Piccardo all crossing Scotland's line. Santiago Carreras, on as a replacement, kicked four conversions.
