Scotland face Argentina at Murrayfield on Saturday in pursuit of a clean sweep in their November Tests, but have a difficult appointment with a side that they have beaten only twice before.

Their most recent victory came in an impressive halved series in Argentina, when Frank Hadden's side fought back from defeat in the first Test with a 26-14 win in Buenos Aires. Their other victory came in the first meeting between the sides, in 1990. David Sole led a strong Scotland side, fresh from a Five Nations Grand Slam, to a 49-3 victory.

Argentina's biggest victory came at Murrayfield in 2001, when Scotland were on the end of a 25-16 loss. The Pumas won seven straight Tests between Scotland's first and most recent victory and will fancy their chances at Murrayfield, where they have won on three previous occasions.
