Graham and Kinghorn start for Scotland against Australia at Murrayfield

Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn have been named in Scotland's starting XV for the Nations Championship match against Australia at Murrayfield on Sunday. The pair bring proven try-scoring credentials into Scotland's backline.

Kinghorn takes over from Kyle Rowe at full-back; Rowe is not in the squad. Jamie Dobie drops to the bench to accommodate Graham on the wing. Graham, 29, was expected to miss the autumn Tests after a bicep tear but has made a quicker-than-expected recovery and returned to Edinburgh duty last month. He has 38 tries in 57 international appearances; Kinghorn has 16 in 69 caps. Gregor Townsend makes no changes to the starting pack and back-row Ollie Leatherbarrow could debut off the bench.

Les Kiss moves Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii from the wing to outside centre, with Harry Potter in at 11. Isaac Henry and Declan Meredith drop out of the Australia matchday squad, while Carter Gordon starts at fly-half. In the pack, Jeremy Williams moves to lock in place of Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, with Rob Valetini coming in at blindside flanker.

Scotland's backline is named as Blair Kinghorn, Kyle Steyn, Sione Tuipulotu (capt), Darcy Graham, Finn Russell and Ben White. The starting forwards are Rory Sutherland, Ewan Ashman, Zander Fagerson, Gregor Brown, Scott Cummings, Matt Fagerson, Rory Darge and Jack Dempsey. Replacements for Scotland are Gregor Hiddleston, Pierre Schoeman, Will Hurd, Max Williamson, Josh Bayliss, Ollie Leatherbarrow, Jamie Dobie and Tom Jordan.

Australia's back three and halfbacks are Tom Wright, Max Jorgensen, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Len Ijitau, Harry Potter, Carter Gordon and Ryan Lonergan. Their starting pack comprises Angus Bell, Billy Pollard, Allan Alaalatoa, Josh Canham, Jeremy Williams, Rob Valetini, Fraser McReight and Harry Wilson (capt). Australia’s replacements are Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Isaac Kailea, Taniela Tupou, Lachlan Shaw, Tom Hooper, Tate McDermott, Ben Donaldson and Filipo Daugunu.

Scotland were beaten by New Zealand in Edinburgh last weekend, with the Wallabies losing to England at Twickenham. The fixture at Murrayfield is scheduled to kick off at 15:10 GMT.
