Graham and Kinghorn return for Scotland ahead of Wallabies clash

Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn are back in the Scotland XV for Sunday's Nations Championship match against Australia at Murrayfield.

  • Record try scorer Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn return to the Scotland starting line-up.
  • Scotland will face Australia in their second Nations Championship fixture on Sunday.
  • Head coach Gregor Townsend has emphasised "individual responsibility" following their defeat to New Zealand.

Record try scorer Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn are set to return to the Scotland starting XV for Sunday's Nations Championship fixture against Australia at Murrayfield. Kinghorn will take over from Kyle Rowe at full-back, while Jamie Dobie moves to the bench to make way for Graham on the wing.

Graham, 29, has made a quicker-than-expected recovery from a bicep tear, having returned to Edinburgh duty last month. He holds 38 tries in 57 international appearances. Kinghorn, from Toulouse, has 16 tries in 69 caps.

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has made no changes to the starting pack. Back-row Ollie Leatherbarrow could potentially make his debut off the bench. Townsend stressed the importance of "individual responsibility" after Scotland conceded seven tries in their recent defeat to New Zealand.

Australia's head coach Les Kiss has moved Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii from wing to outside centre, with Harry Potter coming in at 11. Carter Gordon will start at fly-half. In the pack, Jeremy Williams moves to lock, and Rob Valetini joins as blindside flanker.
