Graham and Kinghorn return for Scotland's Australia match

Scotland bring back record try-scorer Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn for Sunday's Nations Championship fixture against Australia.

Scotland have recalled record try-scorer Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn for Sunday's Nations Championship match against Australia at Murrayfield. Graham has made a quicker-than-expected recovery from a bicep tear that was initially thought to sideline him until the turn of the year. Kinghorn takes over at full-back from Kyle Rowe, while Jamie Dobie drops to the bench.

Graham, 29, has 38 tries in 57 international appearances. Kinghorn, who plays for Toulouse, has 16 tries in 69 caps. Head coach Gregor Townsend made only two changes to the team after last weekend's 43–21 defeat to New Zealand, saying the issues in that match were about 'individual responsibility'—players coming offside or failing to roll away quickly, giving the opposition opportunities in Scotland's 22-metre zone.

Townsend said Graham is 'in a very good place' and ready to go after sustaining a calf injury during the training camp. Australia head coach Les Kiss has made more substantial changes, moving Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii from wing to outside centre and bringing in Harry Potter on the wing, with Carter Gordon starting at fly-half.
