    The anthems are underway at Rugby Park and Twickenham.

    I'd say the Argentinian one wins hands down. Proper funky number.

    Scotland v Georgia (14:30 GMT)

    Mark Bennett starts at outside centre today, winning his first cap since February.

    You may recognise the 23-year-old from his exploits with Team GB in the summer, winning a silver medal in the Rugby Sevens, scoring two tries along the way.

    That got us thinking, are there any other international rugby players that have won an Oympic medal?

    New Zealand are full of cross-sports sporting stars such as boxer, rugby league and double World Cup winning All Black Sonny Bill Williams, but even he couldn't manage to win a medal in Rio, as the Kiwis were knocked out at the quarter-final stage.

    I think it is a mistake from the Scottish Rugby Union to play at Kilmarnock. 

    The football pitch is smaller and most importantly narrower. It is much harder for teams trying to move the ball about to play, and much easier for a team to defend.

    I would still expect Scotland to win with a little bit to spare. 

  5. Switch from Murrayfield 'disrespectful' to Georgiapublished at 14:24 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2016

    It is Kilmarnock FC's Rugby Park and its artificial pitch for Scotland and Georgia today rather than Vern Cotter's side's usual Murrayfield home.

    The ground has hosted international rugby once before back in 2014 when Scotland played Tonga.

    Georgia coach Milton Haig is not impressed however, he said, external the change of venue was "disrespectful" to his side.

    Rugby Park holds 17,891, whereas Murrayfield has a capacity of 67,800.

    Georgia set out with a point to prove against Scotland with a record breaking year in their sights.

    The Lelos have never beaten a top-tier nation but they continue to improve under Milton Haig.

    Georgia have lost only once since the World Cup, and are an upset away from recording a national record number of wins in a calendar year. They have won the European Nations Cup – the Six Nations for second tier sides – for six years in a row. 

    Since a historic third-place finish in their World Cup pool last year, Georgia have enjoyed a record win over Romania and an unbeaten tour of the Pacific Islands, but familiar attacking shortcomings resurfaced earlier this month in the defeat against a weakened Japan, which ended immediate hopes of reaching the top 10 in the world rankings for the first time.

    They are led by their talisman and record try scorer Mamuka Gorgodze. The Toulon backrower was nicknamed Gorgodzilla at previous club Montpellier.

  8. Scotland's winning feelingpublished at 14:16 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2016

    Scotland v Georgia (14:30 GMT)

    If they avoid defeat today then Scotland will end a calendar year with more wins than losses for the first time since 2010 - and their highest winning percentage for 14 years. 

    They beat France and Italy in the Six Nations, then followed that up with two wins over Japan in the summer and added another victory over Argentina last week.

    Their record so far reads played nine, won five.

  9. 'Huge ask for Argentina'published at 14:15 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2016

    I think Argentina can trouble England up front, at least for 40 minutes.

    They have had a reputation over the years of having a big, strong pack with good scrummages and line-outs.

    This game comes at the end of a long season for Argentina, it is the final match of their campaign. They get six months off after this and have been pushed around in last few games. 

    It is a huge ask for them to hit this England team who are flying. 

  10. That end-of-season feelingpublished at 14:10 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2016

    England v Argentina (14:30 BST)

    You know when you're at school and you're coming to the end of term and all you want to do is colour-by-numbers and play board games?

    That's probably how the Argentina players are feeling right now.

    Most of the squad started the season in February, with Super Rugby side Jaguares, and have also played in the Rugby Championship and the tour of Japan. 

    They've come agonisingly close to beating both Wales and Scotland during this tour in Europe, but perhaps fatigue has played its part for the Pumas.

    However, they've stil got something to play for against England - world rankings. They've dropped to ninth after their defeat by Scotland and another defeat could mean they end up in the third tier of teams when the Rugby World Cup draw is made in May.

    England v Argentina (14:30 BST)

    ...Argentina beat England at Twickenham for the first time. The 25-18 victory condemned the hosts to a record-equalling seventh consecutive Test defeat – and head coach Andy Robinson was soon given the boot.

    Ten years later and it's a very different story. England are on an 12-match unbeaten run - 11 coming under boss Eddie Jones.

    During the autumn series, England have beaten Fiji 58-15 and South Africa 37-21.

    England v Argentina (14:30 GMT)

    England make four changes from the starting XV that beat Fiji.

    George Kruis returns from ankle surgery to replace the banned Joe Launchbury while Tom Wood ousts flanker Teimana Harrison.

    Mike Brown is in for Alex Goode at full-back, while Jonny May displaces Semesa Rokoduguni on the right wing, despite his two tries last weekend.

    Argentina have been forced to make a late change to their starting XV.

    Joaquin Tuculet has picked up a leg injury, which means Santiago Cordero moves from 11 to 15, and Juan Pablo Estelles comes off the bench and starts on the wing.

    Scotland v Georgia (14:30 GMT)

    Both Scotland and Georgia have records in their sights when they meet at Kilmarnock this afternoon.

    An ever improving Georgian side will be hoping to press their case for inclusion in the Six Nations, while Scotland will want to end the calendar year with more wins than losses for the first time in 2010.

    Scotland boss Vern Cotter and Georgia head coach Milton Haig worked together in their native New Zealand.

    And Haig has bet his fellow Kiwi a bottle of whisky, that Georgia can pull off what would be a memorable victory.

    Scotland coach Vern Cotter has opted for experience, with his five changes adding 125 caps to the side that beat Argentina last week.

    Olympic silver medallist Mark Bennett comes in at centre for Huw Jones, who injured a foot last weekend.

    In the pack, Ross Ford, Richie Gray, Rob Harley and Ryan Wilson all start.

    Giorgi Aptsiauri is recalled on the wing for Georgia, with Tamaz Mchedlidze moving to centre and Giorgi Koshadze dropped from the squad.
