Scotland v Argentina: Rory Darge starts in one change for hosts

Scotland makes one change to its starting XV for Sunday's Autumn Nations Series match against Argentina, with Glasgow Warriors back row Darcy Graham replacing Matt Fagerson on the bench.

Coach Gregor Townsend has opted for continuity, meaning that the team will be similar to the one that defeated the United States in the opening autumn series win. The only change is at hooker, where George Turner replaces Glasgow Warriors teammate Fagerson and Edinburgh's Duhan van der Merwe, who starts instead of Kyle Steyn.

Scotland will look to bounce back from a defeat by New Zealand last weekend when they host Argentina at Murrayfield on Sunday. Talismanic fly-half Finn Russell has been passed fit to keep his place in the team despite being substituted with knee and ankle issues in the closing stages of that game.

Rory Hutchinson, who scored two tries for Edinburgh against Argentina last year, makes the bench but will look to follow up his impressive form from their previous encounter. Scotland joint-record try scorer this time is set to make an impact on Sunday as he aims to help his side secure a victory over Argentina.

With Argentina coming into the match on a high after beating Wales at the weekend, Sunday's match is expected to be an exciting and competitive contest between two of rugby's top teams.
 
The Scotland team's decision to maintain continuity in their lineup for the Autumn Nations Series match against Argentina seems like a pragmatic choice πŸ€”. While it may not guarantee a win, sticking with tried and tested players can provide a sense of familiarity and cohesion on the pitch. However, the inclusion of George Turner at hooker is an interesting move, and his partnership with Duhan van der Merwe could potentially bring some much-needed stability to the front row πŸ”©.

Finn Russell's return from injury is also a welcome boost for Scotland, as his attacking prowess will undoubtedly be crucial in trying to outmaneuver Argentina πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ. With Rory Hutchinson set to make an impact off the bench, this team has all the ingredients of a high-scoring contest πŸ”₯. Overall, I think Sunday's match is shaping up to be a thrilling encounter between two top-tier teams, and Scotland will need to be at their best if they're going to come out on top πŸ†.
 
so argentina's recent win against wales gotta make them a tough opponent for scotland on sunday πŸ€”πŸ‰ i mean, finn russell's back in the starting lineup which is a big boost for scotland but argentina's gonna bring their A-game too 😬. rory hutchinson making the bench with his impressive form last year could be the difference maker tho 🎯. and duhan van der merwe taking the hooker spot instead of steyn is an interesting move by coach townsend πŸ’‘. fingers crossed for scotland to bounce back from that new zealand defeat πŸ’ͺ!
 
omg i cant wait for sunday's match 🀩! scotland has been looking a bit shaky lately but with finn russell back in form and rory hutchinson on the bench, im thinking they might just pull off that win πŸ†! and argentina is always such a tough opponent, so ill be keeping my eyes peeled for any surprises πŸ˜‚. personally i think george turner will do a great job at hooker and hopefully scotland can keep up with argentina's pace πŸš€. the atmosphere here at murrayfield is gonna be electric! 🎟️
 
omg I cant wait for sunday's match between scotland & argentina πŸ‰πŸ’₯! finn russell looks like he'll be back in form soon after getting cleared by the docs πŸ’ͺ, and rory hutchinson is gonna bring that energy off the bench πŸ”₯. i think scotland might have an edge since they've been practicing together as a team before 🀝. argentina's just come off beating wales tho, so it's gonna be a tough one πŸ‘Š. gotta say, Scotland vs argentina is always an epic clash πŸ’₯!
 
Scotland's chances just got worse πŸ€• They're still reeling from that loss to NZ last week, and now they gotta take on Argentina, who are riding high after beating Wales πŸ™Œ Argentina's gonna come at Scotland with a lot of fire πŸ”₯ and I'm not sure even the talisman Finn Russell can lead his team to victory πŸ’” It's gonna be a tough one for the Scots at Murrayfield ⚽️
 
man, argentina's on fire rn πŸ’₯ they beat wales last wk and now scotland's got to step up their game 🀯 i'm thinkin' finn russell's gonna make all the difference for scotland πŸ™Œ he's been passed fit despite gettin knee & ankle issues in the last match πŸ€• but rory hutchinson's also lookin like a dark horse on the bench 😎 we might be seein some fireworks at murrayfield this sunday ⚑️
 
I'm still waiting for Scotland to sort out their scrum issues before they can compete with the best πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. Fagerson is a great player, but he just gets in his own way sometimes. George Turner looks like a solid replacement, and I hope he can give them some stability at hooker. On paper, this one's looking like a great match-up between two top teams... fingers crossed for the Scots to come out on top! 🀞
 
just saw the update about scotland's lineup for their match against argentina πŸ‰πŸ‡¦πŸ‡· think they gotta bring their A game if they wanna take down a team that beat wales recently πŸ˜… rory hutchinson is gonna be key, gotta see how he does after his impressive performance last year πŸ‘€ and darcy graham's inclusion on the bench might just give scotland an extra boost of energy πŸ’ͺπŸ‰
 
I'm really looking forward to this game 🀞... but also kinda hoping Scotland loses πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. I mean, think about it, they're playing Argentina on the back foot after losing to New Zealand last week πŸ˜…. If they can bounce back from that and get a win against Argentina, that'd be sick πŸ’₯! But at the same time, Scotland's been playing some top-notch rugby lately, so maybe they just need to keep their momentum going πŸ‰... or maybe they'll just choke under pressure like they did last week 😩. Ugh, my brain can't make up its mind 🀯!
 
im loving this change with Darcy Graham comin in for Fagerson tho πŸ€” its not like they need a spark plug or anything but having that extra experience from playing with the Glasgow Warriors might just give them the edge they need to take down Argentina πŸ‘Š also, i think Scotland's got this one in the bag... I mean, they're gonna bounce back after that loss to NZ and Russell is lookin good after comin back from injury πŸ’ͺ
 
im so hyped for this match!!! 🀩 i think scotland has a great chance of winning against argentina, especially with finn russell back in the team πŸ™Œ he's such a talented fly-half and will definitely bring some magic to the game ✨ also, rory hutchinson is gonna be a beast on the bench lol πŸ˜‚ i'm loving the fact that scotland is sticking with their core team despite making some adjustments πŸ”„ it'll be super interesting to see how george turner holds his own at hooker πŸ€” and argentina's win over wales last weekend definitely makes them a force to be reckoned with πŸ’ͺ
 
I don’t usually comment but I think Scotland has to give it their all against Argentina this Sunday πŸ€”. Losing to New Zealand was tough, but they can bounce back if they play like they did in that first win. Finn Russell is a game-changer and he's definitely going to be crucial in this match πŸ˜…. The fact that Rory Hutchinson gets another chance to make an impact is a bonus - the guy seems to have some serious skills on his feet πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ. Argentina's winning against Wales last weekend makes them a solid opponent, so it's going to be a close game for sure 🀝. Whoever wins will definitely earn their stripes and I'm excited to see how it all unfolds πŸ’ͺ
 
So Scotland is making this change for the match against Argentina, Darcy Graham instead of Matt Fagerson... I think it's good that they're going with continuity, you know? They've had some tough losses recently, so it's nice to stick with what works, right? πŸ€” And Finn Russell being fit again is a big plus, he's such an important player for them. Rory Hutchinson on the bench could be interesting too, if he gets his chance to shine, hopefully they can get that win against Argentina...
 
Omg, Scotland vs Argentina is gonna be lit 🀩! I'm lovin' the fact that they're stickin' with Finn Russell, he's like the hero we need on the pitch πŸ’«. And can't wait to see Rory Hutchinson bring his A-game again πŸ”₯, two tries against Argentina last year? Yeah, he's definitely got this one in the bag πŸ†! Argentina's on a roll after beatin' Wales, so it's gonna be a tough match for Scotland, but I'm all about that underdog vibe πŸ’ͺ. Bring on Sunday and may the best team win ⚽️!
 
idk about scotland making this change its not gonna make a huge diffrence against argentina theyve got some decent players on the bench tho finn russell seems like the only reason hes playing well now, hope he can get through 80 mins without getting injured again 🀞 and rory hutchinson is always a threat but argentina are looking strong after beating wales lol what do u think about this match?
 
OMG 🀯 I'm so hyped for this match! Scotland vs Argentina is gonna be EPIC 😲πŸ”₯ Finn Russell is back in the mix and that's a BIG plus for them! Darcy Graham on the bench, cool move by Coach Townsend to keep continuity going πŸ’ͺ But seriously, I think Argentina are gonna give it their all after beating Wales last weekend 🀝 It's gonna be a tight one, either team could win. Can't wait to watch it live πŸ“Ί
 
I'm loving this Autumn Nations Series so far πŸ‰πŸ‘ Scotland's squad looks solid, but I think they'll need all hands on deck against Argentina 🀯 They're coming off a tough loss to New Zealand, but Talismanic fly-half Finn Russell is back and ready to lead the charge 🌟

I'm intrigued by George Turner at hooker - will he be able to replace Matt Fagerson's solidity? 😬 And Rory Hutchinson is looking sharp on the bench... I hope he can make a difference when he comes on! πŸš€

This match is gonna be EPIC πŸ’₯ with Argentina flying high after beating Wales. It'll be a real test of Scotland's mettle πŸ‘Š Can they bounce back from that New Zealand loss and secure a win? πŸ€”πŸ‰
 
Omg I'm so hyped for this match!!! Scotland vs Argentina is gonna be EVERYTHING πŸ’₯πŸ‰! Darcy Graham comin in for Matt Fagerson on the bench is a sick move, it shows Coach Townsend trustin his squad 🀩. And Finn Russell gettin back from injury? FORGET ABOUT IT πŸ’ͺ! He's gonna light up that pitch and lead Scotland to a W πŸŽ‰. Rory Hutchinson also lookin good on the bench, can't wait to see him in action πŸ€—. This match is shapin up to be EPIC ⚑️, with Argentina comin off a big win over Wales, it's gonna be a real battle πŸ”₯. Scotland vs Argentina, Murrayfield stadium, get ready for some RUGBY ACTION πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ!
