BBC Scotland to show Scotland against Chile and Uruguay

Scotland’s summer clashes with Chile and Uruguay next month will be shown live on BBC Scotland.

Gregor Townsend’s side will play two matches in South America in July as part of a four-game tour that also takes in Canada and the USA.

The Uruguay clash will mark the first match between Scotland and Uruguay since the 1999 Rugby World Cup – where Scotland ran out 43-12 winners.

BBC Scotland will air the trip to Chile on 20 July, with an 20:00 BST kick-off, and the final match in the tour against Uruguay in Montevideo a week later.

Coverage of both matches will be hosted from rugby clubs in Scotland by Andy Burke, Tom English and Duncan Weir, with Andrew Petrie and Fraser Brown providing commentary.

The matches will also be available live on the BBC iPlayer.

TNT Sports will also be showing the games, along with the North American fixtures against Canada on 6 July and the USA on 12 July.
