Portugal Colonial - Darge returns to Scotland starting side against Argentina

Darge, who came off the bench in last weekend's agonising 25-17 loss to New Zealand, returns to the back row in place of the benched Matt Fagerson as Scotland look to get their Autumn Nations Series campaign back on track against the in-form Pumas.

Inspirational playmaker Finn Russell keeps his place at fly-half after being substituted with knee and ankle issues in the closing stages of the defeat by the All Blacks.

There is still no place in the squad for influential prop Zander Fagerson, who has been working his way back to full fitness after being sidelined since early April by a combination of calf and knee problems.

Joint-record try-scorer Duhan van der Merwe is named on the bench after being dropped from the squad entirely last weekend, with Scotland coach Gregor Townsend reverting to a 5-3 split between forwards and backs after going 6-2 against the All Blacks.

Darcy Graham, van der Merwe's fellow Scotland record try-scorer with 34 to his credit, is set to win his 50th cap after retaining his place on the right wing.

Argentina, who named their team earlier Friday, have arrived in Scotland on the back of a record 52-28 win over Wales in Cardiff.
