Duhan van der Merwe becomes Scotland’s record try scorer in victory over Uruguay

Duhan van der Merwe became Scotland’s record try scorer before Gregor Townsend’s side bounced back from an unlikely Uruguay comeback to round off their tour of the Americas with a 31-19 victory.

Van der Merwe scored his 28th try to overtake Stuart Hogg as Scotland’s top scorer of all time.

The South African-born winger only made his international debut in October 2020 and was winning his 41st cap in Montevideo.

The 26th-minute try followed earlier scores by Ewan Ashman and Luke Crosbie and put Scotland 19-0 ahead. But the home side claimed the next 19 points to threaten a major upset despite being without a number of key players who had been competing at the Sevens event in the Olympics.
