BLAIR KINGHORN missed a lastminute penalty for Scotland as Australia earned a tense 16-15 victory at Murrayfield.

Kinghorn dragged his kick wide on 79 minutes as fly-half Bernard Foley’s 11 points won it for the Wallabies.

A depleted Scotland crossed twice via Ollie Smith and Kinghorn.

Although full-back Kinghorn went from hero to zero with his late miss, Scotland skipper Jamie Ritchie said: “I’m proud of the boys.”
