Schoeman to hit 50 in Argentina

Scotland open their three-match Summer Tour against Argentina, before facing South Africa and Fiji – the latter at Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

Schoeman made his Scotland debut in October 2021 against Tonga, scoring a try at Scottish Gas Murrayfield in a 60-14 win.

Just shy of five years later, the prop reaches a half-century of caps for his adopted country.

He starts in the front row alongside Edinburgh Rugby’s 2025/26 Scottish Building Society Player of the Season, Ewan Ashman.

The hooker is fresh off penning a long-term extension with the capital club and will be looking to continue the form that saw him sweep the club’s end-of-season awards.

Darcy Graham – Scotland’s all-time leading try-scorer – is named among the replacements, hoping to add to his 38 tries for his country.
