Scotland and Parks weren’t too concerned though and the flyhalf kicked six penalties and landed two drop goals.br /br /Coach Andy Robinson commended his side for the way in which they stuck in there.br /br /"I can't praise them highly enough. This is one of the most hostile places to play in the world and they did a great job. Not only did Dan Parks find the target when it mattered, he produced an excellent performance," he said.br /br /Parks himself was pleased with the result, and happy to have earned the respect of the locals.br /br /"We had been told about the supporters here and how it was one of the toughest places to play. But near the end they were applauding and cheering us. That is a measure of how well we played after a shaky start.br /br /"It was particularly satisfying to earn the appreciation of fans like them. They know their rugby! I just happened to pick up some points but it was a superb all-round team effort,” Parks said.br /br /Scottish legend Jim Telfer has tipped his team to win the next match when the two sides meet again on Saturday, but is concerned about their lack of tries.br /br /"It's worrying, because they had plenty of the ball, they tried to move it wide - sometimes that's fairly predictable," said Telfer.br /br /"But Argentina is an ageing team, going backwards. Scotland are going forward."br /br /Much requested by Scottish fans, this video features the points scored throughout the match.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wNlbWDyo98Aamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wNlbWDyo98Aamp;hl=en_GBamp;fs=1amp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time: /span04:52/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-5074785845113305104?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=BuMuQo2a17c:5kVY7VBi3EI:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/BuMuQo2a17c" height="1" width="1"/ More...
