Argentina v Scotland: Tour hope for Hadden as Pumas opt for home-based squad
Both Argentina coach Santiago Phelan and his Scottish counterpart Frank Hadden have named their squads for the upcoming series – with the South Americans naming a much weaker team than the formidable side that finished third in last year's World Cup.

The last time Argentina and Scotland met was in the World Cup, where a 19-13 Pumas victory was actually the closest any team came to the eventual World Cup bronze medalists, beyond the loss to eventual champions South Africa.
In further news for both nations, the six-nation Churchill Cup has now been confirmed, with the Pumas, England, Ireland and Scotland fielding their 'A' teams alongside the Americans and Canadians.
Santiago Phelan, who was capped 44 times for the Pumas, has been Argentina's coach officially since March, taking over from Marcelo Loffreda – who was regarded as the finest coach the South Americans ever had. He is now in charge of Leicester Tigers.
The 35-strong squad to face Scotland is now officially in camp, being led by their assistant coach Mariano Fernandez. The biggest news is that only four players from the World Cup team are present - Manuel Contepomi, Hernan Senillosa, Martin Durand and Federico Serra.
