In July 2022 the Scotland rugby union team toured Argentina. It was the first time since 2010 that Scotland returned to tour Argentina, and the first time since 2018 the two teams had met. Before the series had begun both teams were equal on a head-to-head record of 9–9. However Scotland had a current five game win-streak over Argentina, the most Scotland had accrued over them in their eighteen meetings. Moreover, Argentina had not beaten Scotland since their meeting in the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
Furthermore, on the World Rugby Rankings Scotland sat seventh and Argentina eighth, respectively. As Argentina had the "home advantage" they would sit above Scotland when calculating the point distribution depending on the result.[1]
Argentina's series win is the first time they had won a home test-series since beating Ireland 2–0 in 2007. It was also Argentina's first series win over Scotland since their first series in 1994 (2–0).
The Scotland captain for the first two matches was Grant Gilchrist.[2] The squad was significantly changed before the third test, leading to Hamish Watson taking over the captaincy for the last match.[3]
