Why Argentina Could Surprise Scotland in Upcoming Matchup
Argentina’s rugby team is gearing up for a promising match against Scotland. Following a series of inconsistent performances, expectations are higher than ever. The team’s recent track record shows both successes and setbacks that could shape their upcoming contest.
Recent Performances
Argentina faced challenges in the summer, losing two matches at home against England. The loss was particularly notable as England played without 14 key players due to the Lions tour. Their performances in the Rugby Championship also displayed a mix of potential and pitfalls.
- Started with one defeat and a win against New Zealand.
- Led Australia by 14 points at half-time, then lost 28-24.
- Ended the Championship at the bottom of the table despite a close match with South Africa.
In their latest fixture, the Pumas achieved a commanding 52-point victory over Wales. This win, however, doesn’t guarantee easy success against Scotland. Historically, Argentina has struggled during tours in the northern hemisphere, having last won more than one game in November Tests in 2014.
Upcoming Match Against Scotland
Argentina has a chance for a memorable tour, with Scotland and England still to face. A clean sweep is within reach, but the odds may be challenging. The team has demonstrated resilience, and fans eagerly anticipate how they will perform against the Scots.
