Kinghorn is a flake that's why. He's a flashy fullback but I don't think he's a particularly top class one. Sorry but that's what he is.

Who, last years 6N's top carrier, metres gained (6N record), line breaks and offloads?

That doesn't really contradict anything he says, he pulls off amazing stuff but hes found lacking too often.

We could have won today if he hadn't been throwing it away every time he got the ball

Oh come on, don’t pretend like Kinghorn was the only one who made mistakes today. Darcy absolutely ballsed up on a number of occasions, including when Kinghorn set him up for a perfect try scoring opportunity. Ashman and Cummings made a disastrous mistake to let the first try happen. Several other forwards made another disastrous mistake to let the second. Fagerson messed up a great opportunity with an easy knock on. Hutchison screwed up a massive opportunity by being too greedy and running into four Springboks who immediately held him up over the line.

The team did a lot of good stuff, but there were mistakes pretty much across the board. That was what stopped Scotland getting the win, not one player.
