Scotland team to face Argentina

Ali Price starts for Scotland
Gregor Townsend has named his Scotland team to take on Argentina in Jujuy on Saturday (ko 8.10pm BST).

Eight Glasgow Warriors are in the matchday 23 for the first Test match of the 2022 summer tour.

George Turner starts at hooker after recovering from illness. He's joined by club-mate Zander Fagerson who makes his tenth consecutive appearance in a Scotland starting lineup.

Younger brother Matt is at Number 8 - he is one of the two players to retain their place after last Saturday's win in Santiago.

Ali Price comes into the team to start at scrum-half, with the 29-year-old also named as vice-captain for the match.

Sam Johnson makes it five Warriors in the starting XV, lining up at inside centre.

On the bench, Rory Darge is in line to make his first appearance since sustaining a knee injury against the DHL Stormers back in April.

Ross Thompson is retained amongst the matchday 23, with the fly-half looking to add to his single cap won last October against Tonga.

The Glasgow contingent is completed by Sione Tuipulotu, as the centre covers the outside backs from the number 23 jersey.
