Scotland's Rugby Team Faces Uruguay With Fresh Lineup Changes
Scotland's rugby team has retained only two players from their previous match against Chile for their final Americas tour game against Uruguay. Key changes include Ben Healy at flyhalf, Kyle Rowe moving to right wing, and Rory Darge as captain. Duhan van der Merwe is poised to break Scotland's try-scoring record.
Scotland have made significant changes for their last match of the month-long Americas tour against Uruguay in Montevideo on Saturday, retaining only two players from the starting lineup that beat Chile last weekend.
Ben Healy will again start at flyhalf after his six-point contribution in the 52-11 victory over Chile, while Kyle Rowe shifts from fullback to right wing, allowing Harry Paterson to play at fullback for his second cap. Rory Darge will captain the team, as Duhan van der Merwe returns to the left wing with a chance to become Scotland's leading try scorer.
World Rugby rules prevent Scotland from fielding players based at clubs outside the country for this fixture. Glasgow centre Sione Tuipulotu has been given early leave to spend time with his partner and new baby. Notably, Scotland has beaten Canada, the United States, and Chile in high-scoring matches on this mid-year tour.
