Scotland name Kinghorn at fly-half against Argentina
By Josh Raisey
Blair Kinghorn is set to start at fly-half for Scotland this Saturday against Argentina at the Estadio 23 de Agosto in place of Finn Russell.
Russell has been rested for the tour by Gregor Townsend alongside captain Stuart Hogg. Edinburgh's Kinghorn will therefore take the No.10 jersey, while Northampton Saints Rory Hutchinson will fill in at fullback. Lock Grant Gilchrist will also lead the side in place of Hogg.
Kinghorn took the reins from Russell in the final game of the Six Nations this year against Ireland after the Racing 92 No.10 was dropped to the bench for disciplinary reasons, and it looks as though the 25-year-old is Townsend's preferred choice again. With Adam Hastings also being ruled out of the tour with a hamstring injury, Ross Thompson is the back-up fly-half on the bench.
Elsewhere in the squad, flanker Luke Crosbie is set to make his first start for Scotland having won his only cap from the bench last year against Tonga. Glasgow Warriors' player of the season Rory Darge has also recovery from a knee injury to make the bench as the back-row option behind Crosbie. Meanwhile, fellow flanker Hamish Watson misses out on the squad altogether as he awaits his 50th cap for his country.

France look set to dominate the NH for some time at this rate. Things clicking nicely for them.
However, I do they think they are vulnerable to nerves. They allowed England to throw them. And Scotland in that first half. They don’t respond well when things aren’t going their way.
I also feel they may be vulnerable in certain positions. At least Lucu, for example, has stepped up in DuPont’s absence. I feel like they may struggle missing key players in quite a few positions.
On that note - I am looking forward to seeing who else they have when they tour NZ with what will be their B-Team. If they’re going to lose the opportunity to galvanize their first choice team - then the opportunity to give others a chance in the cauldron of New Zealand must be maximized for what it’s worth.

I had spent months planning every detail, from the itinerary to the accommodations. But what started as excitement quickly turned into a nightmare when I fell victim to a fake flight ticket scam, losing $580,000 in the process. The betrayal I felt was indescribable. I had trusted the website, which looked legitimate, and even received what appeared to be a confirmation email. It wasn’t until I arrived at the airport that I realized I had been scammed. The ticket was fake, and my money was gone.I felt a mix of anger, embarrassment, and helplessness. How could I have been so careless?
