The opening day of the Nations Championships signs off with Argentina hosting Scotland at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes.

The new 12-team tournament will pit the best teams in the world against each other – with Southern Hemisphere sides hosting teams from the Northern Hemisphere in the summer block of fixtures.

Scotland are without talismanic fly-half Finn Russell for their opener due to a calf injury, which means Tom Jordan starts at 10, but forward Jonny Gray is available.

Those are among the eight changes Gregor Townsend has made from the side that ended the Six Nations with defeat as the Scots bid to snap their three-match losing streak against their hosts.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Argentina v Scotland on TV and online.
