Rufus McLean finished off his perfect international debut weekend by winning the Autumn Nations Series Try of the Week for Round One.
The 21-year-old flyer pulled on the Scotland jersey for the first time during his country’s 60-14 victory over Tonga at BT Murrayfield and enjoyed a dream debut as he crossed the whitewash for a first-half try double.
His second score was a thing of beauty and saw him go viral on social media, as a lineout move provided the platform before crisp passing from the backs ended with Blair Kinghorn finding McLean, who side-stepped James Faiva brilliantly to race over the line.
