Rusell also have been recalled after missing the opening game of the November tests. Other players who come back into the squad include Maitland, M. Faggerson, P. Horne, F. Brown, and Gilchrist. Sam Skinner who made his debut vs Fiji might get another go against the Argies.

  • Scotland: With Russell and Maitland bolstering their ranks, the Scots will be at their best when they face the Argies on the 24th. These two players combine very well to great effect when playing together and they will be worth watching at the BT Murrayfield.
  • Argentina: Carlos Sanchez has been pulling strings for the Los Pumas Argentina Rugby and he will be key in this match. However, he will be relieved from all the pressure by Gonzalo Iglesias who has also regained his form in the recent matches. These two players are key for the Argies if they are to end their poor four-match losing streak at the hands of Scotland.

He added another penalty to ensure victory for the Aussies.
