Scottish Rugby has confirmed that Gregor Townsend\u2019s side will open the campaign against the Pumas on the weekend of November 6, followed by the previously announced fixture against the Brave Blossoms a week later.<\/p>\n
The Scots will finish the series against the world\u2019s number-two ranked side, New Zealand, over the weekend of November 20.<\/p>\n
BT Murrayfield is already a 67,000 sell-out for 2020 Calcutta Cup match against England on February 8 in the Guinness Six Nations and head coach Townsend is relishing the challenges in the year ahead.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cRepresenting your country is the pinnacle of the sport and in 2020 we will have opportunities to pit ourselves against some of the world\u2019s leading teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo host Argentina, Japan and New Zealand at BT Murrayfield following our games against England and France in the Six Nations provides fantastic competitive challenges which we look forward to seeing our players embrace.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scotland\u2019s Autumn Test opener against Argentina will be the 19th meeting between the sides, who have won the fixture nine times apiece.<\/p>\n
The Scots have triumphed in the last five encounters, however \u2013 the 2016 win sandwiched by home-and-away doubles in 2014 and 2018.<\/p>\n
Scotland fans will remember the 28-21 defeat to Japan in the World Cup Pool A decider in Yokohama, which saw Townsend\u2019s side exit the competition.<\/p>\n
The final Autumn Test against New Zealand will be the first meeting between the sides since Scotland came close to a historic first win in 2017, only to lose 22-17.<\/p>\n
