Duhan van der Merwe made history as Scotland's all-time leading try scorer, netting his 28th try during a 31-19 victory over Uruguay in Montevideo. Scotland initially dominated the match, racing to a 19-0 lead with tries from Ewan Ashman, Luke Crosbie, and Van der Merwe. However, Uruguay staged a remarkable comeback, leveling the score at 19-19 with three unanswered tries, though key missed conversions by Felipe Etcheverry proved costly. Ultimately, Scotland's depth shone through as Patrick Harrison and Pierre Schoeman scored late tries to secure the win. This victory capped off a successful Americas tour for Scotland, where they also defeated Canada, the United States, and Chile. Coach Gregor Townsend has successfully expanded his squad, handing debuts to 11 players during the tour.
