SALTA, Argentina (Reuters) - Scotland’s forwards laid the foundation for a rousing 29-6 win over Argentina in Saturday’s second test in Salta to the delight of coach Gregor Townsend.

Strong individual performances in the pack ensured not only that Scotland levelled the series, after a limp showing in the first test, but they also kept Argentina’s much vaunted attack from scoring in a dogged defensive display.
