Argentina hold on for win over Italy

Argentina have edged a 19-14 win over Italy in their Autumn International match this afternoon.

Tommy Allan kicked a series of penalties to put the home side ahead in the first half, but a Jose Imhoff try allowed the Pumas to claim a narrow lead before half time, having dodged a tackle from Edoardo Gori before finding the corner.

Italy fought hard at the start of the second half and were able to regain the lead when Michele Campagnaro managed to gather a kick from Allan to add the team's only try of the match.

However, a strong spell with the boot from Nicolas Sanchez sealed the win for the visitors, as he kicked two penalties and a drop goal late on to keep Argentina ahead.

The match was the final game of the series for both countries.
