Scotland are in South America for the third game of their summer tour and will take on Chile on Saturday in Santiago. It is the first time the teams have met in a full Test match but Scotland played an A international in the Chilean capital two years ago, beating the hosts 45-5.
This year’s tour opened with Gregor Townsend’s side defeating Canada 73-12 in Ottawa and continued with a 42-7 win over the USA in Washington DC. Neither of those opponents qualified for the 2023 Rugby World Cup, unlike Chile who beat both Canada and the US to make it to France. It was their first time at a World Cup and they finished bottom of Pool D, losing to Japan, Samoa, England and Argentina.
Despite qualifying, Chile are below both the USA and Canada in World Rugby’s rankings. They are 22nd, one place worse off than Canada. The US are 18th.
After the game in Santiago Scotland will finish their tour against Uruguay in Montevideo on July 27.

Team news
Scotland have made 10 changes to the side that beat the USA. There are first starts for Glasgow Warriors prop Nathan McBeth, Leicester Tigers prop Will Hurd and Oyonnax lock Ewan Johnson who all came on as replacements in the tour opener against Canada. There is likely to be a debut for Patrick Harrison, the Edinburgh hooker, who has been named on the bench. Scotland will be led by Sione Tuipulotu and Jamie Ritchie who have been named as co-captains. They are two of five players retained from the starting line-up that defeated the US, along with Kyle Rowe, Kyle Steyn and Alex Craig. Twelve of the 15 starters have won fewer than seven caps in a largely experimental selection.
