Scotland v Argentina: Vern Cotter set for Murrayfield debut Autumn internationals Venue: BT Murrayfield Date: Saturday, 8 November Kick-off: 17:30 GMT Coverage: Watch live on BBC Two, online, mobiles and BBC Sport app from 17:00 GMT; listen on BBC Radio Scotland & BBC Radio 5 Live; text commentary on BBC Sport website and mobiles. Scotland coach Vern Cotter takes charge of his first match at Murrayfield after having plenty of time to reflect on a summer tour in which his new charges showed him he has plenty to work with, but also that he equally has his work cut out to forge a team ready for the 2015 Six Nations and World Cup. The New Zealander, who saw his side struggle to victories over the United States, Canada and Argentina before taking a thrashing at the hands of South Africa, has impressed his coaching staff with a desire to embrace the "Scottish way of playing" and has sought the advice and picked the brains of the legendary trio of Andy Irvine, Ian McGeechan and Jim Telfer. Scotland coach Vern Cotter On a personal level, I'm absolutely excited about this game, which is my first at Murrayfield, and really looking forward to see the team run out for the match and to experience the atmosphere at my first home game. Defence coach Matt Taylor says the idea of emulating some of the great Scottish teams is merging well with Cotter's own ideology of how he sees his new Scotland side shaping up. "We watched some of the great Scottish teams of the past and a lot of that was using the ball, off-loading, and taking teams by surprise," Taylor said. Fancy moves or moves that teams weren't used to. That's the kind of thing we're trying to bring into the team prior to the World Cup. Scotland face an Argentina side still on a high after their historic first-ever win in the Rugby Championship over Australia last month . Scotland may have narrowly beaten them back in June, but they looked a different proposition against the Aussies and also pushed South Africa mightily close. Playing with more width and creativity, their revitalised back division enjoyed a strong Championship to give an added threat to the one their always combative and wily pack brings. One thing Scotland will not be able to blame for any future defeats is the Murrayfield pitch. This will be the first time they will play on the new £1.25m Desso Grassmaster hybrid surface which was laid after a turf parasite (known as nematodes) infamously turned the pitch into a near permanent quagmire. Celtic were the first team to play on it in the summer in their Champions League qualifiers and their manager Ronny Deila described it as "perfect." Head-to-head After winning just one of their first eight Tests with Argentina, Scotland have won four out of the last six. The 21-19 win in June was Scotland's fourth straight victory on Argentinean soil. Of the 14 full Tests between the two countries only two have been won by a margin of more than 10 points. In fact if you took away the first Test between the sides, the largest margin of victory is a mere 12 points (Argentina 14-26 Scotland, 2008). Scotland have won four and lost five of their nine Tests in 2014. Vern Cotter has won three of his first four matches in charge. Ten of the starting XV are made up of Glasgow Warriors players. Scotland have lost 10 of their last 13 home internationals. Argentina This is Argentina's first match in Scotland since winning 9-6 in November 2009. They have not lost at Murrayfield since 1990 - in the first official Test between the sides. Argentina's Rugby Championship win over Australia ended a run of eight straight losses in 2014. That win over the Aussies was their first in 18 attempts (W1 D1 L16) in the Rugby Championship. Their only other two wins in 2014 have come against Uruguay and Chile. Second-row brothers Richie and Jonny Gray will play together for Scotland for the first time. Ten of the starting XV are made up of players selected from Glasgow, who have started the PRO12 campaign in blistering form with only one loss in seven matches this season. Their outside centre Mark Bennett is the only uncapped player in the team. Argentina coach Daniel Hourcade gives a debut to second row Juan Cruz Guillemain as one of five changes from the team that beat Australia in October. Centre Juan Martin Hernandez is set to win his 50th Pumas cap.
