Argentina have ended a five-match losing run with a 45-29 win over Georgia in a one-off rugby Test in San Salvador de Jujuy.
Left winger Ramiro Moyano redeemed himself for a yellow card in the first half by scoring a hat-trick of tries for the hosts.
Georgia scored two more converted tries after considerable pressure to cut the margin, but fell to a fifth defeat in five matches against the Pumas, three of them at Rugby World Cups.
Even after Moyano was sin-binned for a reckless aerial challenge, Argentina added two penalty goals and kept Georgia from scoring.
Georgia, coming off wins over Canada and the US, fought back with a penalty try and a couple of late five-pointers to cap their highest score against the Pumas.
