TRY-SCORER Tommy Seymour believes Saturday's win over Argentina proves that Scotland have turned a corner following this year's humiliating RBS 6 Nations displays.

Vern Cotter's first home match in charge saw his team run in five tries against the Pumas in a 41-31 triumph.

It went some way towards eradicating the memory of a string of recent drubbings under his predecessor, Scott Johnson. Those included a 28-point whitewash against South Africa, a 20-0 hammering by England in Edinburgh and a 51-3 battering from Wales in Cardiff.

But with Cotter now in charge, Seymour reckons Scotland are starting to show signs of significant improvement.

The Glasgow wing said: "There is a great vibe around the place.

"Last year there were some results we were disappointed with. But in the dressing room before the Argentina game our captain Greig Laidlaw spoke about drawing a line and moving past stuff that has happened.

"It's a huge year for us with the World Cup coming up and we need to go out and focus on playing consistently the type of rugby we want to produce. The Argentina game was one foot in the right direction."

Seymour apart, the Pumas' line was also breached by the Gray brothers, Richie and Jonny, plus Stuart Hogg and Sean Maitland.

But the shine was taken off by the late fumble of points which allowed Argentina to close the gap to ten.

Hogg's score and a Laidlaw penalty early in the second half had put Scotland 24 points up before Rob Harley then Jim Hamilton were needlessly sin-binned.

That encouraged the Pumas to impose themselves for the first time since Javier Ortega Desio's opening try after only 90 seconds.

They were handed a penalty try as Scotland fell apart in defence before Tomas Cubelli notched a late double.

With world champions the All Blacks next up, Seymour knows his side will not get away with the same sloppiness at Murrayfield on Saturday.

He said: "The feeling after the game was that there were a lot of positives in regards to the rugby we produced.

"But we can ill afford to give up points so easily because the All Blacks will take them far more easily and on a far more consistent basis.

"We need to make sure that the little flaws which crept in at the end are eradicated."
