As a former Scottish International athlete in 1970 Commonwealth Games at Meadowbank I really don't think Gregor Townsend has the belief and will to win at all costs! He has let the opposition off the hook too often when you need composure most and not attack.

Jack Dempsey
A beautiful ball from Finn Russell unlocks the Argentina defence.
His eyes are looking back towards Sione Tuipulotu, but he fires a short pop pass to the onrushing Jack Dempsey, who gallops to the line for his second Scotland try.
Robbie (15:06) - I don’t think beating New Zealand and then being beaten by double reigning world champions South Africa is a sign of Argentina’s inconsistency - it’s a sign that the rugby championship is pretty tough and Argentina hold their own. Also, not sure Scotland (who have never beaten the All Blacks) are in the same league as either New Zealand or South Africa.
If my calculations are correct - if Scotland beat Argentina by 16 or more points today, and England do the same next weekend, it leaves Scotland on 82.73 world ranking points (and sixth place) and Argentina just below on 82.69. Only Australia, by beating France, could then snatch the sixth spot back assuming Scotland beat Tonga. Huge implications today in the context of the RWC draws!
