Quote MessageYou'd put your mortgage on Sanchez kicking that. Argentina, a nation of soccer players, natural kickers, there's no rationale as to why he would miss that kick.
Penalty to Argentina, who kick it to touch. Guido Petti takes the line-out and the Pumas rumble forward towards the Scotland 22.
Have the hosts turned it over? No, it looks like Simon Berghan who is pinged at the ruck.
Nicolas Sanchez is Argetina's all-time top scorer, breaking the 700-point mark this month. He has a relatively simple task, from a central position, but pulls his kick narrowly wide of the left-hand upright. Bad miss.
Scotland 3-0 Argentina
Scotland controlling possession and territory well in these early stages. But Adam Hastings kicks towards the corner - a bit too easy for the Pumas that one, and they return fire. This time Stuart Hogg launches an up and under, but can't quite collect.

Quote MessageBlair Kinghorn's probably Scotland's most improved player over the past 18 months. Richard Cockerill, since he became Edinburgh's head coach last year, has really lifted Kinghorn.

Blair Kinghorn with an early chance to stretch his legs, coming in off the left flank. Allan Dell is knocked backwards by a thumping hit, but referee Paul Williams has spotted an infringement, 30 yards out.
Meat and drink to Greig Laidlaw from the tee, and Scotland have their noses in front.
Scotland 0-0 Argentina
Great take of the kick-off from Scotland lock Grant Gilchrist, and Argentina are immediately penalised for offside. Stuart Hogg punts it into touch and an early attacking opportunity for the hosts...

Quote MessageIt’s really important for Scotland to get the win after losing last Saturday. Momentum is everything, and to take a victory into the Six Nations is now of paramount importance. Scotland’s game management is the key factor for me today. It’s that battle between Gregor Townsend unleashing his exciting backs and the need to be a little bit more pragmatic at times.
Scotland v Argentina (14:30)
A slower burner, the Argentine anthem, before it cranks up the emotion.
And now it's time for Flower of Scotland...

The teams are out on the pitch, and are gathering into line for a spot of singing after the traditional pre-match fireworks.
We're all set for a bit of Himno Nacional Argentino...

Josh Strauss will want to put in a huge performance today because I'm not sure he's going to get too many more opportunities before the World Cup.
John Barclay is going to come back from injury. Blade Thomson will get a run in the Six Nations when fit again. Dave Denton will get another chance to stake his claim. Ryan Wilson is there. There's a lot of competition around number eight.
Strauss is coming back from miles behind the others because of the performance he put in when Scotland lost to Fiji in the summer of last year. This is his first start since that day. I still think Gregor Townsend believes he's not a good enough player for 80 minutes. He's still on the outside looking in.
This is a chance for him to show Townsend he deserves to be part of the conversation again.

Scotland v Argentina (14:30)
Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend says Argentina "play ambitious rugby like us", but on a dreich, dank Edinburgh day, with rain already coming down, he expects to see the Pumas' "strengths of old" come to the fore.
"The line-out maul, scrum, ball-carrying and outstanding defence - they're a really low-tackling, aggressive defensive team, so we'll have to work for everything," he told BBC Scotland.
"It’s going to be even more of an arm wrestle, it’s going to be an 80-minute game; we have to put in huge effort, be smart and make the most of our opportunities.
"We won’t be able to do everything we wanted to do if it was a dry day but having two 10s in the midfield, three 15s in the back-three, allows us to use the kicking game more. It’s great that those players are in the side today because I believe there’ll be much more kicking than we’ve seen over the last few weeks."

Thirteen years ago, 14,491 people were at Murrayfield to watch Scotland lose to Argentina. It was Frank Hadden's second Test as head coach, following the disastrous reign of Matt Williams.
Today, 52,653 more will watch the fixture. It's an 11th successive Murrayfield sell-out of 67,144 spectators. A successful team and an entertaining brand of rugby is a much more attractive prospect.

Quote MessageScotland play how they need to play – that’s their strength. They need to know when to dial it back a little bit. It is a fine balance. Guys like Finn Russell will want to play more often than not – they do make mistakes. In a funny way, the rain today helps that. Don’t forget about passing and running, but it’s a chance for them to play in a slightly different way and get more variation in their game. They know they need to do that.

At his peak, Mario Ledesma was one of the world's top hookers. His playing career spanned 20 years and 84 Pumas caps between 1996 and 2011, taking in four World Cups.
He spent the bulk of his club days in France, winning the Top 14 and European Challenge Cup with Clermont Auvergne, and was part of the fabulous Argentina side that finished third at the 2007 World Cup.
Ledesma retired seven years ago and became forwards coach at Stade Francais - a role he then held at Montpellier and with Australia.
After leading Argentine franchise Jaguares to their maiden Super Rugby play-off this year, Ledesma was appointed national head coach when Daniel Hourcade stepped down.
So far, the Pumas have won two of eight Tests under his stewardship, one of those victories a first on Australian soil in 35 years.

Scotland v Argentina (14:30)
It's only five months since these two teams met on Scotland's summer tour, when the visitors racked up their record victory - 44-15 - over the Pumas in Resistencia.
Argentina were dreadful that day, meek and passive, their organisation and motivation conspicuously absent, knowing it was their final game under former coach Daniel Hourcade.
Since the arrival of former hooker Mario Ledesma - who won 84 caps and played in four World Cups from 1999 to 2011 - however, the Pumas have rediscovered some of their old bite.
Victories over South Africa and Australia in the Rugby Championship restored belief, and although they have lost their last four Tests - against New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and France - they have been right 'in the fight' in all of them.

Andy Nicol
Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio Scotland
Quote MessageIf Scotland win today, the autumn is probably a six or seven out of 10. The game last week, South Africa at home, was a real opportunity. They'd won 11 out of 12 games at home, and in those tight games against the top teams, you want to come out on top. That’s where I think Scotland are now. It’s really, really important Scotland win today. I think they will, and if they do, I think it’s a good but not great autumn.
That's Andy Nicol's view of Scotland's autumn campaign so far. Do you agree? What marks would you give Gregor Townsend's team? And how do you think they'll go today?

Scotland v Argentina (14:30)
A cracking meme has been doing the rounds on social media this week.
It depicts wise old skipper Greig Laidlaw quite literally keeping a leash on Finn Russell and Adam Hastings, Scotland's free-spirited midfield axis.
The meme was created by freelance animator and Scotland rugby fanatic, Graham Love, and it's not gone unnoticed by the team.
"Stuart Hogg kindly changed the group icon on the team's WhatsApp [chat] to that, so we are getting reminded every time we check the phone now," said Laidlaw this week.

Scotland v Argentina (14:30)
Argentina head coach Mario Ledesma says "you don't have to be a genius" to work out that the Pumas will target Scotland's play-making axis of Finn Russell and Adam Hastings.
"I think Gregor expects us to do that and maybe he is testing the character of that combination? He knows we are going to try and put them under pressure," said Ledesma.
“You don’t have to go into the game throwing punches for every punch they throw at you. If you get into that rhythm where they throw the ball around and you start kicking the ball to them and you start playing loose, that’s not the way to play them.
"I think you need to keep hold of your ball and if you give them the ball it has to be on your terms. I don’t think we should play a loose game.”
