Argentina pulled off big wins in the Rugby Championship against the All Blacks and Wallabies. They then had a strong tour in November, beating Wales and Scotland away from home. They lost out to England at Twickenham in the final game of the November series. They lost by four points, but had only been one point behind with 20 minutes to go.

Scotland started their Six Nations campaign with a difficult defeat to Italy on the opening weekend in horrible conditions. They then won the three games after that, including a famous victory over France, who were destined to be Grand Slam Champions by that stage of the tournament. They went to Dublin with a Triple Crown on the line, but Ireland were too strong.

This has been a relatively equal rivalry in recent years, and the recent tour of Argentina by Scotland in 2022 saw the home side win two of the three games. Argentina won the match in Scotland in November.
