In the opening round of rugby's Nations Championship on July 4, 2026, Scotland secured a high-scoring 47-38 victory over Argentina in Cordoba. Despite facing intense pressure and a man in the sin bin during the final fifteen minutes, Scotland managed to overcome Argentina's strong starts in both halves. Debutant hooker Gregor Hiddleston scored a vital try to ease the pressure, while Kyle Rowe provided a decisive late score to secure the win. This victory, which saw Scotland post their highest-ever score against Argentina, avenged their previous autumn loss in Edinburgh. Key contributors included captain Sione Tuipulotu, Pierre Shoeman, and Rory Hutchinson, who helped build a halftime lead. Although Argentina's Rodrigo Isgro and Tomas Rapetti kept the match competitive, Scotland's emphatic response to Argentina's momentum shifts ultimately ensured a seven-try to five-try victory.
