Scot youngster Kinghorn ready for more after Test debut

BLAIR KINGHORN could not have asked for a better introduction to Test rugby over the weekend.

The Edinburgh fullback made a cameo appearance from the bench in the dying moments as Scotland ended their Calcutta Cup misery with a stunning 25-13 triumph over England at Murrayfield on Saturday.

Kinghorn came on for the injured Tommy Seymour with 15 minutes to go as the Dark Blues held on for a first win over the Auld Enemy since 2008 and it was just reward for his decision to ditch football and pursue a rugby career.
