What are the key questions ahead of the tour?

Gregor Townsend's Scots have arguably the best chance to pick up a series victory this summer, facing an Argentina side that has struggled to threaten at the top level, by and large, for some time now.

Townsend sprung a surprise by leaving out skipper Stuart Hogg and playmaker Finn Russell, however, but did so most likely with the hope of building much-needed depth to his squad 15 months out from the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.

We look at the key questions facing each of England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland as they embark on three-Test tours of Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina respectively, live on Sky Sports this summer.

Who is in Scotland's squad?

Captain Stuart Hogg and talisman Finn Russell have been left out of Scotland's 40-man squad for their summer tour to South America.

The pair have played a lot of rugby over the past year and were part of the British and Irish Lions squad last summer.

However, both were also among a group of six players involved in a disciplinary issue following the Italy match in the Six Nations in March.

Edinburgh's Grant Gilchrist has been named captain in Hogg's absence.

Chris Harris, who was also part of the Lions tour last year, is not in the squad, but fellow Lions Hamish Watson, Ali Price, Duhan van der Merwe and Zander Fagerson have all been included for a tour which will include an A team match against Chile.

Forwards (22): Ewan Ashman, Jamie Bhatti, Magnus Bradbury, Dave Cherry, Andy Christie, Luke Crosbie, Scott Cummings, Rory Darge, Matt Fagerson, Zander Fagerson, Grant Gilchrist (c), Jonny Gray, Jamie Hodgson, Ben Muncaster, Pierre Schoeman, Javan Sebastian, Sam Skinner, Rory Sutherland, George Turner, Murphy Walker, Hamish Watson, Glen Young.

Backs (18): Mark Bennett, Matt Currie, Darcy Graham, Adam Hastings, George Horne, Damian Hoyland, Rory Hutchinson, Sam Johnson, Huw Jones, Blair Kinghorn, Rufus McLean, Ali Price, Kyle Rowe, Ollie Smith, Ross Thompson, Sione Tuipulotu, Duhan van der Merwe, Ben White.

What happened last time Scotland toured Argentina?

Scotland last toured Argentina for a series in June 2010, clinching a two-Test series 2-0 courtesy of 24-16 and 13-9 victories. They did also win in Argentina in one-off Tests in the summers of 2014 and 2018.

In three series in Argentina between the nations in history, they are evenly split. 1994: 2-0 Argentina series win, 2008: 1-1 series draw, 2010: Scotland 2-0 series win.
