✅ Main takeaway:
Continued success raises Argentina’s expectations, something they have not always handled well.
In the summer they lost a home series 2-0 to England, despite Steve Borthwick’s side missing 14 players who were on tour with the British and Irish Lions.
In the Rugby Championship, they started with a defeat and a win at home to New Zealand and went to Australia with a great chance of cementing their place as title contenders.
Despite leading by 14 points in the first half, they ended up losing 28-24 after conceding a last-gasp attempt.
They avenged that loss the following week and edged close to the Springboks in their final game with a 67-30 defeat in Durban, but finished bottom of the table.
Argentina went into Cardiff as favorites last week with 52 points, but Scotland are unlikely to be as charitable as Wales, and the Pumas don’t typically tour the northern hemisphere well either.
The last time they won more than one match in the November Tests was in 2014.
However, with Wales out and Scotland and England in, this team has a chance to pull off a historic clean sweep.
The odds may be against them, but three wins on British soil is not out of reach for the Argentine side.
Argentina’s lineup to face Scotland: Cruz Malia, Isgro, Morrone, Chocobaris, M Carreras, Presiantelli, Benitez Cruz; Vivas, Montoya (captain), Delgado, Petit, Rubiolo, S. Grondona, Martin Gonzalez, Oviedo.
Replacements: Ruiz, Gallo, Correa Marchetti, Elias, Matera, Moyano, S Carreras, Picardo.
