1969 Scotland rugby union tour of Argentina

March 2014 March 2014 Scotland 1969 6 5 0 1 2 1 0 1 ARG 2 1 0 1 The 1969 Scotland rugby union tour of Argentina was a series of matches played during the month of September 1969 by Scotland in Argentina. It was also the first tour of a Scottish national side to Argentina.Historial entre Argentina y Escocia, Revista Tocata, 23 Sep 2011 Despite the fact that originally Scottish Rugby Union did not consider this series as official including test matches, it was a real tour of Scottish national side. At the time, it was usual for the Scottish Rugby Union to consider official only the match played against the other teams that play Five Nations, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. Scotland, after a loss in the first test match, won the second to draw the series. In 2023, the SRU retrospectively announced that both matches against Argentina were considered as full test matches. This meant that players capped in this tour were retrospectively given full senior caps. The players now capped as full senior internationalists were Ian Murchie and Arthur Orr from the first test match, and Bruce Laidlaw from the second test match.Māori All Blacks 26 - 29 Scotland: Match report https://scottishrugby.org/fanzone/maori-all-blacks-26-29-scotland-match-report/ Match summary Complete list of matches played by Scotland in Argentina:Memoria y Balance 1969 https://web.archive.org/web/20220926033523/https://www.uar.com.ar/wp-content/themes/wpbootstrap/pdf/1960/1969.pdf 26 September 2022 on UAR website #ffff99 silver Test matches Date Opponent Location Venue Score 7 Sep Argentina C Third Argentine national team note third Buenos Aires Gimnasia y Esgrima 19–9 10 Sep Seleccionado Interior Combined team formed by players outside Buenos Aires Provinces note interior Buenos Aires Gimnasia y Esgrima 11–3 13 Sep ARG Buenos Aires Gimnasia y Esgrima 3–20 18 Sep Rosario RU Rosario Plaza Jewell 20–6 21 Sep Argentina B Buenos Aires Gimnasia y Esgrima 9–5 27 Sep ARG Buenos Aires Gimnasia y Esgrima 6–3 Pld W D L PF PA 6 5 0 1 68 46 Notes note Match details 7 September 1969 Argentina C 9–19 SCO Cutler 2 Cutler Murchie 2, RobertsonCarmichael, Smith Blaikie 2 Gimnasia y Esgrima, Buenos Aires Eduardo Niño (Argentina) Argentina C': A.
