Scotland will tour Argentina and play two Test matches in the summer of 2010, it was confirmed today.

Scotland, who won their last match in Argentina in 2008 and who lost narrowly in a closely-fought encounter at Murrayfield last month, open their tour on Saturday 12 June in Tucuman.  The second Test will be played in Mar Del Plata on Saturday 19 June.
