  1. Argentina harder than All Blacks

    I don't think I'll ever get over last weekend.

    You'll never get a better chance to beat a New Zealand team that were not the best.

    And they showed that yesterday when they were beaten pretty convincingly by England.

    I still can't believe we didn't win. They will have to put that behind them today as Argentina if anything are going to be harder to beat than last week.

  2. Darge returns in other Scotland change

    Scotland v Argentina (15:10)

    Rory Darge replaces Matt Fagerson in the only other change to Scotland's starting XV.

    Fagerson replaces Glasgow Warriors team-mate and fellow back row Darge on the bench following last weekend's defeat by New Zealand.

    Talismanic fly-half Finn Russell has been passed fit to keep his place after being substituted with knee and ankle issues in the closing stages last Saturday.

    Head coach Gregor Townsend has gone for continuity, which means Warriors' Kyle Steyn is again preferred to Edinburgh's Duhan van der Merwe on the opposite wing to Graham.

    But Van der Merwe does make the bench, having missed out entirely against the All Blacks.

  3. White out through illness

    Scotland v Argentina (15:10)

    Scotland have made a late change to their team as scrum-half Ben White misses out with an unspecified illness.

    Jamie Dobie starts with George Horne promoted to the bench.

  4. Line-ups from Murrayfield

    Scotland v Argentina (15:10)

    Scotland: Kinghorn, Graham, Hutchinson, Tuipulotu, Steyn, Russell, Dobie; Schoeman, Ashman, Rae, Gilchrist, Cummings, Brown, Darge, Dempsey.

    Replacements: Turner, McBeth, Millar Mills, Bayliss, M. Fagerson, Horne, Jordan, Van der Merwe.

    Argentina: Cruz Mallia, Isgro, Moroni, Chocobares, M Carreras, Prisciantelli, Benitez Cruz; Vivas, Montoya (capt), Delgado, Petti, Rubiolo, S Grondona, Martin Gonzalez, Oviedo.

    Replacements: Ruiz, Gallo, Coria Marchetti, Elias, Matera, Moyano, S Carreras, Piccardo.

  5. Can Scotland bounce back from New Zealand heartbreak?

    Scotland v Argentina (15:10)

    When Scotland scored 17 unanswered points last Saturday, it looked as though an elusive first victory over New Zealand might come to pass.

    However, they could not capitalise on three yellow cards for the opposition and were downed by Damian McKenzie's late brilliance.

    Gregor Townsend's side have an opportunity to bounce back today as they welcome Argentina to Murrayfield.

    Kick-off is 80 minutes away and Sportsound coverage has just started on the wireless.
