Rugby-Five changes for Scotland for second test against Argentina

Mark Bennett - Edinburgh Rugby - 25 caps 12. Sam Johnson - Glasgow Warriors - 25 caps 11. Dave Cherry - Edinburgh Rugby - 5 caps 3. Sam Skinner - Edinburgh Rugby - 21 caps 5. Rory Darge - Glasgow Warriors - 5 caps 7. Hamish Watson - Edinburgh Rugby - 49 caps 8.

Scotland will have Hamish Watson back from injury to strengthen their side for Saturday’s second test against Argentina, as one of five changes announced by coach Gregor Townsend on Thursday to the starting line-up after their 26-19 loss in last weekend’s first test. Watson, who will win his 50th cap, had a chest injury and had to sit out the loss in San Salvador de Jujuy but returns for the clash in Salta in place of Luke Crosbie.

There is another change among the loose forwards with Rory Darge also back from injury and replacing Magnus Bradbury on the other flank. Ben White was named at scrumhalf and will be making his first start for Scotland after five test caps off the bench. Dave Cherry was chosen at hooker while Sam Skinner replaces Jonny Gray in the second-row.

On the bench, winger Kyle Rowe could make his first appearance for Scotland as he is included in the match-day 23 for the first time. Team: 15. Rory Hutchinson - Northampton Saints - 6 caps 14.
