Townsend urges player responsibility as Scotland welcomes back Graham and Kinghorn

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has emphasized the need for individual responsibility ahead of Sunday's Nations Championship match against Australia, as Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn return to the starting lineup.

Scotland is preparing to face Australia at Murrayfield following a heavy defeat against New Zealand in Edinburgh last weekend, where the team conceded seven tries. Head coach Gregor Townsend highlighted that the defensive issues stemmed largely from individual errors that allowed opponents into their 22. In response to the recent struggles, Townsend has brought record try scorer Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn back into the starting XV for the upcoming fixture. Graham makes a faster-than-expected return following a bicep tear, while Kinghorn takes over at full-back.
