England playmaker Owen Farrell has been rested for the day. But he doesn't do resting.

So instead he is prowling the touchlines as the most pro-active waterboy the world has seen. Complete with yellow H20 armband.

We (the commentators and fans) can take a breath as Samoa have a scrum in their own half.

A loose kick falls to Stuart Hogg and he's pummeled to the floor by a huge pile of blue shirts.

A steady build-up ensues from Scotland, from left to right and right to left.

The hosts try to kick and chase but can't quite run away with it and Samoa kick clear... for now.

It'll be interesting to hear what the players say about the pitch afterwards. It's not slick and it doesn't look like the players are fizzing the ball around how you'd expect them to. England can deal with the running Argentine attacks all day at the moment.

More Argentine pressure.

Men over! But the Pumas don't chance their arm with the jackpot waiting to be grabbed.

The visitors have started the second half the stronger.

There were some beautiful pieces of detail and execution in Alex Dunbar's try for Scotland.

It was a really nice attacking kick. Dunbar just brutally drove over the line for Scotland’s fifth try.

Argentina are battering away just short of the England 22m.

A lot better at working through the phases than they were in a scrappy first half.

But the England defence is standing strong. Juan Martin Hernandez eventually decides to put boot to ball.

And Anthony Watson is as safe as houses under the high ball.

And we are back under way in the second half at Twickenham.

Eleven points the difference as Juan Martin Hernandez sends the ball back-flipping into the late afternoon gloom.

Tim Nanai-Williams has been on fire this afternoon in that number 10 jersey.

He has the incision in his speed to get over the line. He’s a wonderful ball player and a wonderful talent.

It was well scored. It came from a direct play initially and he sliced through and scored.

Home advantage may be particularly marked for the northern hemisphere sides this year as matches will be played under an updated version of the laws that the southern hemisphere teams have far less experience of.

The changes - the most important of which are at the tackle and scrum - were brought in in the northern hemisphere on 1 August, but will not come into force in the south until January.

"If we get a small advantage up here, I'm sure the coaches will try to use it," top English referee Wayne Barnes told the Telegraph last month. , external

Expect at least some confusion for fans, players and coaches alike.

Here's how Scotland's fourth try came about...

It's become a bit of an arm wrestle for the Scotland forwards. They're getting a bit bogged down at the moment and that's probably why Townsend has made four changes. With New Zealand up next week, it's important to keep their play flowing

Well, there's not much to tell in terms of team stats.

It's even on both the possession and territory front.

Individually, newbie Sam Underhill has made 10 tackles, with experienced front rower Mako Vunipola narrowly edging him with 11.

And Nathan Hughes has been the home side's best runner. Plenty of room for improvement on that front.
