Graham & Kinghorn start for Scots versus Wallabies
Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn have been named in Scotland’s starting XV to face Australia at Murrayfield on Sunday in the Nations Championship. Their return adds international experience and try-scoring ability as Scotland look to respond to last weekend’s defeat by New Zealand.
Kinghorn replaces Kyle Rowe at full-back, while Graham comes in on the wing, sending Jamie Dobie to the bench. Graham, 29, has scored 38 tries in 57 Tests after recovering from a bicep tear; Kinghorn has 16 tries in 69 appearances. Scotland have made no changes to the starting pack, and back-row Ollie Leatherbarrow could make his debut from the bench. Australia, also coming off a defeat, have moved Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii to outside centre, selected Harry Potter on the wing, and brought Carter Gordon, Jeremy Williams and Rob Valetini into the starting side.
In short
- Graham and Kinghorn return to Scotland’s starting XV.
- Graham has scored 38 tries in 57 international appearances.
- Leatherbarrow could make his Scotland debut from the bench.
