Scotland recorded a stunning 24-16 victory over Argentina in their clash at the Estadio Monumental Jose Fierro in Tucuman.
Fly-half Dan Parks was the star of the show for the tourists - kicking all of his side's points courtesy of six penalties and two drop goals to cap an outstanding individual display but it was a superb high-octane team performance - arguably Scotland's finest away showing in recent memory - that laid the platform for their historic triumph.
The victory was only Scotland's third ever success against their South American rivals while the defeat was also the Pumas' first in Tucuman in eight outings. First half tries from Gonzalo Tiesi and flanker Juan Manuel Leguizamon and a penalty from the boot of fly-half Felipe Contepomi had given the hosts a narrow half-time lead but a solitary penalty from their No.10 was all they could muster in the second period.
